This isn't one of those plug-ins or shitty programs that say they will "speed up the internet." My previous experience with that crap has made me label it... well... crap. :lol:
Just a note, this is for broadband dsl/cable etc. users as far as I know. Probably even more helpful the faster the connection you have, I suggest not doing this if you're on dial-up.
This is the source of the source: http://clipmarks.com/popular/clip/C170D70C...F-C627EF201AF5/ (http://clipmarks.com/popular/clip/C170D70C-345A-46E5-809F-C627EF201AF5/)
Just follow it step by step and you shouldn't have any problems. If it, for some reason, seems to have a negative effect, it's easy enough to backtrack and undo what you did. Here's the information:
"Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
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 recieves."

Yes well, it's a nice trick indeed, and Firefox owns. =)
I love Firefox, but I hate the spell checker they have in 2.0. I can't insult people as much for their spelling, because their lazy asses have a spell-checker doing most of the work for them. But they still fuck up and I laugh when they do! Ahahaha! :D
