How to speed up the Firefox browser

If you have a broadband connection, you can use pipelining (you don't have to know what that is) to speed up your Firefox. To do that, follow the below:
  • Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Find “network.http” in the list of options, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
  • Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
  • Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
  • Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
  • Also, 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.
