Making Firefox faster

Hey!

Firefox is already fast and i think better than IE 7, but there is a way to make it even faster. The process is really fast and easy. It shouldn't give you any trouble.

1. In the URL bar type about:config
2. Then type network in the Filter bar and find network.http.pipelining. Double click it to change it from false to true
3. Just under network.http.pipelining you will find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Again double click and change the value from 4 to 100.
4. Restart Firefox and try some of your favorite web pages. It should open pages much quicker

I tested the time it took Firefox to open my Netvibes page, with and without the hack. Result: the hack improved Firefox for 40%.
