Make Firefox Faster at Forever Geek Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up: 1.Type 'about:config' into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set 'network.http.pipelining' to 'true' Set 'network.http.proxy.pipelining' to 'true' Set 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests' to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it 'nglayout.initialpaint.delay' and set its value to '0'. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now! -- Above quoted and formatted from Forever Geek - Eric
