How to Make Firefox faster

clipped from www.blazextreme.com
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 recieves.
