found this on another forum. worked great for speeding up firefox

If you want to increase the speed of your browsing with Firefox, follow these simple directions:

Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the adress bar (no quotation marks).
Find these options, double click each one and change to below values:

network.http.max-connections: 48

network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

network.http.pipelining: true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32

network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

Close Firefox and enjoy the faster browsing.

an easier way to do this is to install a FireFox extension. https://update.mozilla.org/extension...id=327&vid=989
iv had it for a while, im pretty sure it makes things faster, but i have broadband anyhow

Did the Firefox extension improve your browser speed? Or did the combination of the extension and tweaks give you better speed?

[AvvY]

the extension has an inbilt option to tweak the network settings, but if u entre these settings into it, it does a better job. really its just like a GUI for about:config. download the extension and alter the values.

Thanks the_last_rit

That made a significant difference , especially at several sites that always seemed slow.

Me too. Thanks for the info guys.

Another site I visit had a discussion similar to this one.
One of the posters there recommended that instead of
"network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32" suggested here,
use a higher value of 100.
I did.
I think there was another slight improvement to the tweak, but only for sites slow to start with.

[i hate ram]

wow this tweak makes stuff really fast!
