Firefox Tweaks

Type “about:config” in your firefox address bar.

Search for the following settings:

1. network.http.pipelining
Set to true def:false
2. network.http.pipelining.firstrequest
Set to true
3. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Set to 32 def: 4
4. network.http.proxy.pipelining
Set to true def: false
5. nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Set to 0

Its very likely that you won’t have an entry for network.http.pipelining.firstrequest. Thats ok. Just add one.

Right-click on the preferences list, select ‘New’ then select ‘Boolean’

On the first prompt, type:
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest

On the second prompt, set it to ‘true’

Its also likely that you won’t have an entry for nglayout.initialpaint.delay

Right-click on the preferences list, select ‘New’ then select ‘Integer’

On the first prompt, type:
nglayout.initialpaint.delay

On the second prompt, set it to ‘0′

Did u feel it?

Firefox is way faster for me and has enabled me to finally bail on IE. Feel free to reply. Thanks!
