Speed up Firefox!

Some simple tweaks to speed up Firefox

This is old stuff, but I thought I should keep it here anyway.

1. Open FireFox and in the address bar type "about:config" and hit enter. Now you will see a huge list of items.
2. Look for these three items:
   1. network.http.pipelining
   2. network.http.proxy.pipelining
   3. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

3. a) Set "network.http.pipelining" to True instead of False. You can do this by having it highlighted and hitting "Enter" on your keyboard.

   b) Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to a number between 1 and 8, preferably 8. This will make the number you chose of requests at once instead of the default 4.

   c) Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to True instead of False. You can do this also by having it highlighted and hitting "Enter" on your keyboard.

4. That's it. Just start browsing and you'll see the difference! A secret step you can also take is to set "browser.turbo.enabled" to True instead of False.
