Seems to work fairly well for me! My Gmail account home page loads noticably faster, and I increased network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 15 (as opposed to something more than 20). Very interesting indeed. By the way, as a matter of general curiosity (/stupidity, dunno which) what does changing the value of network.http.proxy.pipelining do?

Thanks for the detailed instructions :P

Proxy is suggested by the name itself, i dont think more explainations are needed unless you are interested in getting all the lectures on request handling and processing


Anywayz here is another tweak


type 'about:config'

find
'browser.turbo.enabled' set its value to 'true'


Good Luck

Right it works! But I have another problem: sometimes my firefox uses over 90% of proccessor time (in task manager, under cpu, win). I simply close the browser (with all the tabs) and start it again, and then everything is notmal again (uses about 25%). Can anyone help with this or has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a shot on my (slow and old) laptop and see how it goes.

it seemed to work pretty good, i dont know what your talking about when your processor usage is at like 25%-90% because mines has always stayed at about 3%. It might be something else running in the background or something like that.
