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"

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 recieves.

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

I found this on another forum posted by a guy who found it on another forum so I dont exactly know its orgin. But broadband users can try this out.

Are you positive that there are no bugs in doing this? I was unsure of doing it incase it stopped my computer from working properly.

i'm gonna try it, thnx! =]

It definitly works :D

i'ved set network.http.pipelining.m axrequests to ten because i don't think that 30 connections to one server is better

i had done this to my settings at an earlier date.
dont know bout speed up considering i was still kinda new to high speed...
