When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries and alter them as follows: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-&gt; 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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ben says: I tried it and it works! Wow!
