firefox tweak

From 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 oad pages MUCH faster now!"
