Type about:config into the address bar and hit return. 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 ... Control-click on the line to get the menu to 'toggle' or 'modify' as the entry requires:
◦ 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.
3. Lastly, control-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.
