Speeding up Firefox...

[Pennybags]

This is a tweak to enable pipelining which I only recently learnt about, which will usually give a speed boost to Firefox's rendering of pages, at a very small sacrifice to rendering stability (some old servers don't support it), but I haven't come across any pages that do this yet.

To get started, type "about:config" in your Firefox address bar. The settings you're looking for are:

1.) network.http.pipelining
2.) network.http.pipelining.firstrequest
3.) network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
4.) network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set #1, #2 and #4 to true. Set #3 to 8.
That's it You should see an increase in your rendering.
