This simple tutorial will allow you to improve you internet page loading time using Fire Fox.

Ok, first thing needed, is to type about:config is the adress field.

Now, Scroll down the list to where it says network.http.pipelining and set the valve to "true". Do this by simply double clicking it.

Ok, now find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set the valve here to 100, again by double clicking.

Nearly done, now you have to find network.http.proxy.pipelining and set the valve to "true", by double clicking.

Last bit. You need to go to nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the valve to "0" by double clicking. But, it isnt on the main page list. So, right click anywhere in the config window and choose New+Integer, now put nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the valve.

Now restart Fire Fox and it should be faster!

You only need to set the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests above 8.

Thanks for the tip on the paint delay though.

Security tip:
set XPInstall.enabled to False

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
