Here is a simple tweak to help your page load times in FireFox 2.0.

1.Type "about:config" in the address bar and then hit enter.
Scroll through the list and find the following entries:

• network.http.pipelining
• network.http.proxy.pipelining
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

The browser normally sends one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will send multiple requests at one time which speeds up page loading.


2. Alter the entries as follows:

• Change "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
• Change "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
• Change "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 20.

This value means it will send 20 requests at once. Feel free to experiment with this number by increasing it to find a sweet spot for your page load times.


3. Right-click anywhere in the window and select "New -> Integer". The name will be "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and its value should be "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it begins rendering the webpage.

Workin Sweet. Thanks GK!

Seems to be working faster. Thanks :-)

nice thanks a lot!

Or for the lazy bastards like me, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1269/ this is all of that except the maxrequests

Thanks very much!!! Very good tweak. Pages are super fast now. Bailey.

theres another one also, just a little boost

in about:config, right click and choose 'new' and choose 'integer'

name it:

nglayout.initialpaint.delay

and set the value to 0

Nice tips. Thanks
