Faster Firefox =)

[AzN]

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed
Firefox up:

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" (Double click it.)

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" (Double click it.)

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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH
faster now!

That wont bring any speed increase, you will just flood the server with HTTP request and stuff. I've read some articles that states server have protection against this "FLOODING"
To put it short, the Pipelining request wont bring any speed boost.......

So is it bad?? Or just wont do crap?

the default value is 8, and that is the max value, if you put 40 or 50 the max allowed is still 8.........
if you downloaded custom build firefox @ FIREFOX CE[/b] (http://www.moox.ws/) it came with all the options, pipelining enabled and stuff but it still maintained the default max request value at 8!
