Got this in my inbox regarding Firefox by airborneric 2004-12-30 08:55:34
Thought I would let some of you guru's let me know if it is safe or not....BTW it came from someone I trust.....and is sitting in the next room.

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:



1.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:



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 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!
