Make Firefox open web pages faster.
Had this passed on to me and it works

I'm using Firefox 2.0

Firefox open web pages quicker. DO NOT USE ON DIAL UP.

Type about:config into the Firefox address bar.
This displays Firefox configuration file.
Scroll till you find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Double click it and set value to 8
Also check that adjacent entry network.http.pipelining is set to TRUE.
If not, double click and change it.
Restart Firefox.

Make a note of your original settings though, just in case
