Make Firefox FAST (try this it helps even more)

[YanBooth]

type "about:config" into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries: change "network.http.pipelining" to "true", "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and lastly "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.

Hope this helps, and it is easy to do once you can find the areas you have to enter this info.

Here's how I have mine configured for cable access.

user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 128);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 24);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 16);

// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);


// (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

// turn on timer-based reflow management
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);


user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun : 8191)
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);


// Path to Cache folder:
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.disk_directory","C:\\Local Disk");

Question: Does this decrease the time it takes to load pages or does it make the Firefox software itself faster?
