<BR /><DIV>
1.Type "about<B></B>:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
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.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
2. Alter the entries as follows:</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.</DIV>
<BR /><DIV>
3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-&gt; 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 recieves.</DIV>
