Firefox Flies into Overdrive
Is it a Bird... Is it a Plane..?

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:
1) "network.http.pipelining" to "true",
2) "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" and lastly
3) "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, (meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once).

Don't bother if you're one of the unlucky sods still without broadband, but if you are, then give it a shot. I've tried it out and it works like a charm. Thanks to forevergeek.com! ų
