Make Firefox download pages faster by allowing multiple connections so it can download more than one file at a time: Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries and set the value like this: network.http.pipelining --> true network.http.proxy.pipelining --> true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests --> 30 (This means it will make 30 requests at once) 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. 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. Now, Firefox will load the pages much faster.
