I think that it needs to be the following:
QUOTE

[find the string]network.http.pipelining
double click and change the value to True

[find the string]
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
double click and change the value to 57

[find the string]
browser.turbo.enabled
double click and change the value to true

Please use the search feature, especially when posting old information. This method has been posted numerous times and I don't think it applies with the newer versions of Firefox.

I was just wondering if these features were set the way they were for a reason... I mean the people at firefox probably set these this way because of a possible problem they ran into. Just curious if there was a possible security reason they set this up this way. Just my two cents..

It's not enabled by default because it's only useful if you have a broadband connection. It could actually slow down your browsing if you're using dial-up because it can't handle so many connections at once with such little bandwidth. It also puts more stress on the server you're connecting to.

It can't be 4x faster if your dial-up line maxs out.

This tip works best on broadband connections.

This small hack make the page appear to load faster, but it seems to be just rendering the HTML quickly and then the images (and other content) later.

What it's doing is allowing Firefox to open more connections with a server at one time. It shouldn't change the way the page is rendered.

meh.. i did that on the computer and it is CRAP.. IT slowed my internet moz friggin DOWN.. That little trick is also posted all over the world in nearly every 'young' forum i've been to.

It's actually very useful... if you have a broadband connection. I'm guessing you have dial-up, and you're opening too many connections for your line to handle, so it's actually slowing down.

I guess it made it a little bit faster, but it is not like it made a huge difference. Maybe it's my internet connection, since I am using dial-up.

You might need to add it yourself. Right click underneath the column Preference Name, select New, then click on Boolean.

In the first box type browser.turbo.enabled, click OK. In the next window, select true, click OK.

That's browser.turbo.enabled added. smile.gif
