• 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: (by double clicking them)
  
  Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
  
  Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
  
  Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 8. This means it will make 8 requests at once (anything above this will have no effect).
  
  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.

• I just downloaded Firefox, but I haven\'t started using it yet....
  
  I changing these settings makes it run faster, why aren\'t these the default settings?  Is there a downside?

  there\'s no downside on your end.. the only \'downside\' (albeit minimal) would be on the server\'s end, because it is receiving several requests at once for a page from you, rather than just one.

• This also seems to work in Netscape 7.2.

• do this!!
  
  forevergeek.com has a useful guide on speeding up firefox for broadband users. basically after getting to the hidden config settings you set the browser to request more data that it usually does.
  
  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. 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.
  
  4. Right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean.
  
  Name it "browser.turbo.enabled" and set its value to "True"
  
  i found this over on tappersection, and it does REALLY work.
