How To Make Firefox The Most Useful Web Browser There Is

Step 2Speed 'er Up!

Speed \
Do this if you have high speed internet, it won't work as well if you are using dial-up.

In the address bar, type in about:config

Once you are there, in the filter bar, type in pipe. You will come out with 3 results, network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

The first and the third should normally be set to false, and the middle one should say 2.

Double click the first and last one to set them to true, and double click the middle one to set it to 20 or 30. Try each out or even different numbers and post your results, because i did not really notice a different between 20 and 30, but then again I have satellite internet.

That 20 means it will make 20 requests at once, now you know why this is only for people with fast internet.

When I typed in about:config, I got a lot more than 3 or 4, haven't counted them, but I would say close to 1000 lines.
