Hello all you FireFox user's! Did you know that on croatian language FireFox means > "VatrenaLisica" Anyway here is the deal: with this easy tutorial you'll get very fast pageloads in firefox browser: just follow this simple code:

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed up Firefox:

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! 

That's all, hope it's working for you!

WOW! this is very nice. Works good..

Just wondering, i dont have dial-up, but i am asking for a friend, would this work on dialup or not?

My guess is that it would help a little, but not much.

And if you're reading this and not doing it, then you are missing out on a serious speed increase.

y'know I didnt find it that helpful, rather dull actually, didnt notice a speed increase, just hundreds more "page cannot be found errors"

[Good Grief Graphics]

You must have messed something up then. I have known about this for a long time, I just never bothered to put it in until now. Trust me, if you do it right, it will help a lot.

Pepelines? What is it? o.O

I just tested this and it does make the pages start loading significantly faster, asthough images and smiliar material still loads at the same speed.
