Pipelining FireFox
Pipelining FireFox
ghost | 4107 Reads | If you are a Firefox user on a high speed line (don’t try this on dialup), try the following: Go to the address bar in Firefox and type in “about:config” Look for the following lines:
network.http.pipelining = false network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4 network.http.proxy.pipelining = false
Change them to (by click/double-click the line) or Right click and select Modify:
network.http.pipelining = true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30 network.http.proxy.pipelining = true This configures the browser to make 30 requests at once and not wait for a reply to the request before making another request

Yo, just thought I should explain what pipelining is and how it speeds up browsing.
Normally HTTP requests (for a page, image, etc) are sent sequentially, with the next request being issued only after the response to the current request has been completely received. On slow networks this can result in a significant delay before the next request is seen by the server let alone replied to.
Pipelining simply allows the browser to everal objects at once without waiting for a response first.
However to the best of my knowledge the limit for pipelining requests is 8 user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8); setting it higher will have no effect.

You can also make Mozilla Firefox load up alot faster by right-clicking on the Mozilla Firefox shortcut icon (where ever it is located), then clicking on 'Properties', and then in the 'Target:' field, typing in or copying and pasting in /Prefetch:1 at the end of the original target. Then click on 'Apply' and the click on 'OK'.
