I know it work, my web browser came up alot quicker, this is if you have a Cable connection.
Tried this and it seemed to work, snagged it from another board I'm on, not my original work but I did test it:
Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:
1.Type "about:config" (no quotes) into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining
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:
Change "network.http.pipelining" to "true" (Double Click it)
Change "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
Change "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" (Double Click it)
3. Then right-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. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
