I tried it and it works. Pages do load faster for me.
1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> 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.



If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!

Works great, but there is a reason it's not on by default: several antiquated webservers won't work with Pipelining.

Yeah, such as IIS, probably. :lol:

I like to change those values as well. :) It seems faster, which is all that really matters.

Firefox Tuning - MozillaZine Forums is a very helpful forum thread for this sort of thing. Other Mozilla.org browsers apply to that thread.
