Something all Firefox users should know.
- Open up your
Firefox
browser. - In the address bar, type in “about:config”. Hit Enter.
- Filter “network”.
- Double click “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”.
- Set the value from your default number (usually 4) to a
higher number, like 10.
You will notice that your pages will load much faster now!

…Actually, a few other things need to be changed as well.
network.http.pipelining needs to be set to TRUE
network.http.proxy.pipelining alse needs to be set to TRUE
otherwise pipelining is disabled, and changing the max requests will do nothing. And any number higher than 8 is ineffective, as it maxes out at 8 (any more and people could take down sites with a high enough number).
And, finally, this tweak is only effective for broadband users.

I made all the changes suggested here but to no avail. My Gmail account/inbox took 1 min 50secs to open up in Firefox 3. Opera blazed away and opened it up in 26secs! I use a Vista laptop and am on broadband and I timed both the browsers from the minute I hit ok on the login.
Used to be a Firefox fan but have given up on (Slow)fox and will stick to Opera. Open to suggestions though – if any.
