Increase the speed of firefox for Broadband

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.
