Posted March 28, 200520 yr For those who dont know this already: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.pipeliningnetwork.http.proxy.pipeliningnetwork.http.pipelining.maxrequestsNormally 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.If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

May 11, 200520 yr I don't recommend changing the pipelining to 30 at all; Mozilla set it at the default of 3\4 for a reason.Pipelining just creates more connections to the server, most servers have a maximum load (I think by default Apache has a load of 200 or something), so people connecting with 30 at a time is going to hammer any servers visited (and when you sum it up, how much faster are you really loading the page; I doubt it's fast enough to warrant the hammering the servers take).If you feel compelled to change the pipelining I would advise a maximum of 8 connections in the pipeline.
May 28, 200520 yr Oh, I was thinking of upping my pipeline request to 50 or more. Cos' 30 is still too slow for me.
