Firefox is waiting 250ms for data before it starts rendering a website which works well for most connections. If you however have a fast connection you can speed up Firefox website rendering by decreasing the amount to 0. Users on slow connections might play around with the setting as well and increase it a little bit which would mean that they would have to wait a bit longer before the website is displayed.
To change the waiting time type about:config in your Firefox address bar and filter for the string nglayout.initialpaint.delay. This is not a default string which means that you usually have to create it. Right-click the white space somewhere and select New > Integer. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay and give it the value 0 if you are on a fast connection. The default value for this is 250.
The benefit is that Firefox will immediately start rendering the website even if it did not receive all the data yet. It could increase the total page loading time on slow connections if they would change the value to 0 as well.
