    Speeding up Firefox...

    This is a tweak to enable pipelining which I only recently learnt about, which will usually give a speed boost to Firefox's rendering of pages, at a very small sacrifice to rendering stability (some old servers don't support it), but I haven't come across any pages that do this yet.

    To get started, type "about:config" in your Firefox address bar. The settings you're looking for are:

    1.) network.http.pipelining
    2.) network.http.pipelining.firstrequest
    3.) network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
    4.) network.http.proxy.pipelining

    Set #1, #2 and #4 to true. Set #3 to 8.
    That's it You should see an increase in your rendering.

          You know, this is disabled by default for a reason.

          Knew about it a long time ago, anyway.
