I picked this up at another forum which came from another forum which was probably at another forum.... :gomer:

Supposedly speeds up firefox (it is noticably faster here) but i might be having probs with heavy front pages like tsn.ca and espn.com.....

I am not skilled in these things, so I throw it out to the experts... anyone else give this a try before?


1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Then scroll down.

2. Alter the following entries accordingly:

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 recieves.

I have used those settings and did notice an improvement (I have had it set like that since I started using firefox a few years ago)
