I saw this a few days back, but wasn't sure if I should post it. From researching it, I found that some techs are saying if you set your pipeline requests at high numbers like 30-100 your beating on the servers door, so to speak. But, That said, Most are saying it does speed up their browsers. I wonder how it effects the servers with a bunch of tweaked browsers trying to get in.

[Cyclonite]

Don't change your pipeline requests. It may speed it up, but it hammers the server and can stop a lot of people from accessing it. Everything else should be fine to change though.

Rock!

Thanks :D

no working download link?

Thnx Cyclonite, That was what I was talking about. From what I understand, You can up it a little without hammering the servers. Mozilla site recommends 8 for optimal speed. Just so you all know it is an official tweak from mozilla.
Here's the 2 lines posted at mozilla..........
Page Rendering---
// Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
And you should change it to 0 and the line should look like this ......
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

// Enable pipelining: Should be changed to these...........
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
Here's a link yagga::::but it's a manual tweak::::::
mozilla (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#oth_rendering)

And it works for most people, but there are a few that find pages loading incorrectly, so they change back to the default settings. It's also worked with other browsers.
Nice find Zuntar! :thumbsup:

This is an extention (http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/) that will do the same thing + a few more.

Not sure if this is official or not, soooo... ;)

There's your link yagga! Yeppers Zuntar, Cool find. Those are tried and true firefox extentions. (The Show cookies extension is tested with Firefox 0.9 and 1.0.)
(The Tweak Network Settings extension is tested with Firefox 0.9 and 1.0.)
I did the manual change above and it makes my firefox alot faster. No problems. But, Now everyone can just go the site and DL it without doing it manually.

Firefox has a boatload of great extentions that you can get. Firefox Extentions (https://update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384})
I'm sure of course, the more extentions you put into your browser, the slower it will load. That said, I'm experimenting with mine and am loading a few of them to try out.

these are a few of my essential extensions
