This is awesome thanks man. But does this make us more vulnerable to hackers or spyware ?

The problem with that is its a good idea but it just makes things worse. If you make your pipeline 30, that is the equivalent to 5 users connections. If everyone does this, that will just make the site horribly slow and makes it 3 times worse for everyone. After 20 it just make its worse for you. It works like a bell curve. Thats up to you and I have no control over that.

You have to download the add-on to adjust your settings. Its called fasterfox.

you think its true?

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

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 (zero). This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!


You have to close your browser after you make the changes. When you start it back up they will be in effect.

What will the settings suggested by geestar20 do on a dial-up connection. Yeah I know it sucks but it is all that is available. Thanks.
