Yes this works!!

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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

Got it from gamerenders, thought I would show it here.

EDIT: Yup, Opera automatically makes 8 requests to the server.

Firefox is a trillion times better and faster than internet explorer. It is way faster now that I edited that stuff. I'm guessing it only works on fast connections because with slow connections 30 requests at once might be overwhelming and will make it slower but since I have dsl it can handle it.

ehhhh ok I have a fast connection, cable-broadband. And I think my internet is slowing down now beucase of the modifications, but we will see....

My first impression is it waits slightly longer before anything shows up at all but once it does it all like done before i know it.

I think its faster though, hard to tell the differance between really fast and really faster.
