    Attention FireFox Users With Broadband, Make FireFox 10x Faster!

    Hey guys I have a nifty little tutorial here for all of you guys that use FireFox and are on broadband connections. This little set of tricks really does speed up FireFox for a large noticable difference, It's darn near made the internet a more enjoyable place to surf!

    Follow these simple steps to make FireFox faster for you!

    1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. 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.

    Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

    Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

    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!

                        I wouldn't put pipelining up to 30. Many servers will reject connections from that IP address in the future if they get 30 requests at once from it.

                              Firefox =/= Netscape Navigator.

                              Although many of the Mozilla/Mozilla Firefox team are former Netscape employees, and receives sponsorship from Netscape, does not make them the same thing.

                              Netscape ceased development of their own browser, but has internally started back up browser development using the Gecko rendering engine. IBM is a huge contributor to Linux, but that does not mean Linux = IBM.
