For those who use firefox browser, you may or may not know this trick. But I suggest doing it.
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 receives. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

i read this awhile ago, works a treat really does speed up firefox.

For those who are not sure on how to change the values, but using your mouse right button, you choose modify and it chanses from false to true.

It made fuk all to me and I have broadband where firefox is used only on this particular machine, worth a try for some, I doubt Brendan even knows how to turn on his PC let alone change the config file :victory:

Im going to try that at work tomorrow, i was about to ditch firefox and install opera as it doesnt like our proxy. maybe it can be tweaked.

all of those settings were in place on my FF. hmm. i can't remember doing this in the past.

edit - i'm downloading Firefox 2. it's in the beta stage.
