Make Firefox Faster Than Anything You've Ever Seen Before*
Found this on ForeverGeek.com and it will change your Firefox (or
Mozilla) life forever. But read the related issues before you try it:
========
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
receives. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH
faster now!"
