    This simple tutorial will allow you to improve you internet page loading time using Fire Fox.

    Ok, first thing needed, is to type about:config is the adress field.

    Now, Scroll down the list to where it says network.http.pipelining and set the valve to "true". Do this by simply double clicking it.

    Ok, now find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set the valve here to 100, again by double clicking.

    Nearly done, now you have to find network.http.proxy.pipelining and set the valve to "true", by double clicking.

    Last bit. You need to go to nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the valve to "0" by double clicking. But, it isnt on the main page list. So, right click anywhere in the config window and choose New+Integer, now put nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set the valve.

    Now restart Fire Fox and it should be faster!

    You only need to set the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests above 8.

    Thanks for the tip on the paint delay though.

    Security tip:
    set XPInstall.enabled to False
