If you have a high-speed Internet connection, use these instructions to make the pages load much faster:

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 8. This means it will make 8 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 recieves.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Found here. Works as advertised.

SWEET! thx Krem
i freaking hated waiting for the page to load so i went back to IE.

wow, neat.
But all its basically doing is showing the pages as they render rather than not which it usually does, the infos coming at the same rate

It also takes 8 feeds from a webserver instead of one, and that improves the downloading time as well.
