This is not my tip btw
Heres a little tip that can triple the speed your browser asks for data. Thus increasing your browsing speed by about 280% (You should have Cable or Broadband internet for this). If you have dialup you might actually suffer slower load times then faster ones.
1. Type
about:config into the address bar and hit return. (If it says you could void your warranty, Just click "I'll Be Careful", It's just firefox anyway and this wont hurt it).
Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.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 about "30".This means it will make 30 requests at once. (Don't put higher than 30, because some sites will think you are hammering them and they will ban you. (Hammering is like DDoSing)
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New Integer. Name it
nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to
0This 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 load pages MUCH faster now!
Just remember that with Dial-up if you try this, due to the slow speeds on Dial-up requesting 30 connections with a webpage at once will bring your browsing speed to a standstill.
Enjoy the speed people. Everything in a page should load instantly now, all at once and almost immediately.
