Steps

1. 1

Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return.

2.

Look for “network.http.keep-alive”. If it’s false, double-click that line and to change
it to true.

3. 3

Make sure “network.http.version” is set to “1.1″.

4. 4

Look for “network.http.pipelining”. If it’s false, double-click that line and change it
to true.

5. 5

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to true by double-clicking it.

6. 6

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 8 by double-clicking it. This means it

will make 8 requests at once. There is no point setting it higher then 8 as it is capped at
8 max. The default value for this setting is 4.

7. 7

Optional: 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 shows you the information it receives. This is particularly
helpful on pages with search bars, however, it doesn't actually make the page load
faster.

Alternate Method for Broadband Users

1. 1

Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the
following entries:

o network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
 o 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. 2

Alter the entries as follows:

o Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

o Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
o Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.
3. 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.

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