This a Firefox tweak which can help you boost your Internet connectivity speed considerably. Follow the steps below and you can observe see the pages loading much faster.

Note that this tweak will only work with Firefox and not other browsers and also that this tweak will not degrade the system or browser in any way.

- Open Firefox and type “about:config” into the address bar and hit Enter

- Look for the following entries and set them to the values indicated.

network.http.pipelining                            : TRUE

network.http.proxy.pipelining                   : TRUE

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests         : Any value between 20 to 30

- Create a new Integer (right-click and select new Integer) and name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay

- Set the value of the Integer created above to 0

You are done. Restart the browser and you should notice the pages loading faster than normal.

If you are curious as to what happened, we have enabled pipe-lining and set it to load some 25 pages at a time, instead of loading one page at a time which is the default behavior.

The new integer we created will instruct Firefox to process the information received with zero delay.
