This should only be done on broadband NOT on ISDN or dialup:

Go to the address bar and type in "about:config" Look for the following lines:

network.http.pipelining = false network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4 network.http.proxy.pipelining = false

and replace it with (click or double-click the line to change it)

network.http.pipelining = true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30 network.http.proxy.pipelining = true

This means it will make 30 requests at once and not wait for a reply to the request before making another request and you'll be able to load pages MUCH faster.

How To Make Firefox Even Faster ?

another solution: browse the web in one of these:

heh

Any drawbacks?

There's always a tradeoff, or else this would be the default setting. Some websites will see a massive speedup, some will actually load slower, and for most, the improvement is not all that significant. Try it out and see how it works for you, though.

[Asphalt]

The one I posted below, however, can greatly improve speeds sometimes.

can you use this for DSL????

[Asphalt]

I think so. Try it, if not, go back and undo it, it's worth it.

[general_re]

The paint delay will make much more of a difference than the pipelining, honestly.

Would someone please refresh my memory. ISDN?????.
I have cable, I know dial-up and DSL but ISDN? At work I also use FF on a huge internal network. Is it ISDN???
Thanks.

Does it work in DSL ?

How do you change the values? I could find the lines, but couldn't change anything.

[Asphalt]

yup

[Asphalt]

right-click=>modify

a little think will come up with the current value, erase and change.

[Asphalt]

to change from true ot false right click and select "toggle" and it will change it.

I did this exact mod on my Ntscape browsers (7.2 and 8.0).
...worked like a champ!

[Total Package]

WOW!!!! big difference

[coldoc]

It worked for me in Mozilla 1.7.8 on Linux OS. Netscape versions 6 and above are essentially Mozilla + some added features, so I suspect it "should" work for you. Firefox is essentially Mozilla minus the EMail client. All are closely related.

Okie dokie. Thanx!
