The newest release of Firefox, version 1.5.0.1 has all of the changes recommended in the first post except the following:
--network.http.pipelining.maxrequests (original value = 6)

So, all you need to do is change that and you will have them all.

Also, I downloaded and installed the latest issue of FireTune and the about:config file before and after differs only by spaces, so they are the same and it does not modify the settings for a Fast Computer - Slow Connection configuration. I cannot verify that it does not improve the settings for any other configuration, so if yours is different, give it a try, but don't expect any improvement if you have the same configuration as I do (Fast Computer - Slow Connection configuration).

Hi lschul,

The first post recommended the following which is what I have mine set to:
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. (This tells the browser to make 30 requests at once.)
