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?

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.
