Came across this on another forum and it seems to work.

Thought it might be of help here

Broadband Only

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". 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!

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Unless the code has changed the maximum value for maxrequests is 8.

mine was set to 4,
After the mods above, my pages do load a little faster

just use the fasterfox plugin...

Very noticable difference with mine...its super fast now!
Thanks!!!

Where does one download this?

OK - got it :oops:

Most of the above is part of experimental code in firefox, so consider yourself warned if it refuses to display some pages.

Some of its an illusion more than anything nglayout.initialpaint.delay is just a delay that the browser waits before displaying the data (default is 250ms). Setting that to 0 lets you see data immediately, but you still need to load all the data so its probably not any faster. In fact on slow machines it can make things slower.

So just remember the original settings in case things dont work!

Noted :wink:

Hope we get no problems
