Speed up Firefox
Got this from another forum. Only works if you have Broadband and Firefox web browser.
This works well if you're on 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.
If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!"

Just a caveat.
I've done it, it works, it also buggers up the loading of some pages that previously loaded fine.
Seems to get hung up on fancy buttons (ones which pre-load multiple colours of buttons for already clicked or hovering overing etc.)
Works a treat otherwise.
Cheers, Ted
