For Every Firefox User (Yes YOU!)

Seeing as I got a pretty good response from this in some thread I can't remember, I shall post this info for all my Firefox-using UG comrades. Prepare for a faster Firefox experience.

Ok part one: Type "about:config" in the address bar in Firefox. Type in OR scroll down to the following lines

1. network.http.pipelining
2. network.http.proxy.pipelining
3. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Firefox makes one request to a webserver at a time, altering to the following values makes multiple requests and REALLY speeds up loading. Alter the entries as follows

network.http.pipelining to TRUE
network.http.proxy.pipelining to TRUE
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests Set a value number of 30, This makes it so Firefox makes 30 requests at once and gets information through faster.

now the last thing you want to do is right-click anywhere in an open area and click on New Integer. Type in "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set the Value to 0 (zero) This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

This is 100% safe and legal.

I stand by it. FF is now my only (and fastest) browser.

Pipelineing also puts stress on the servers of the websites your visit though, causing bandwidth problems.

This is great, but it will eat up your whole broadband so if you are using other applications that use the net then they'll slow down..

Illegal, you enjoy fucking up websites bandwidth?
