Default Fire Fox - Whoah !

The Oye ! Tweak !

ASK ANY OF FIREFOX'S avid supporters and they'll tell you it's the fastest browser around, true or not. Well, the INQ's stumbled on a little tweak that's easy to do and sends the browser into overdrive.

All you've got to do is type "about:config" into your address bar, wait for it to load, then alter the following entries: change "network.http.pipelining" to "true", "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and lastly "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.

- The Inquirer.net Article

OR...

You can simply install this .xpi then, open Firefox and under "Tools" use the Tweak Network Settings GUI.

Got it from winxpcentral

Default rightly put

rightly put mail2and

Firefox is what we believe in, if you believe in something else, go ahead and rant about it, but in your own space....
