1) Type about:config into the address bar. 2) Type "pipelining" into the "Filter" entry area. 3) Double click on network.http.pipelining to set it to true. 4) Double click on network.http.proxy.pipelining to set it to true. 5) Double click on network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set it to 30. It won't speed up your connection, but you will load pages must faster. I don't know if this works in Internet Explorer or Opera, since I'm doing this in Firefox. There probably is a way to do it, however. Try it out! |

That is a Firefox only trick, unfortunately. It doesn't work for people with dialup connections (the default pipeline max-requests is 5 or 10, which is the maximum that a dialup connection can handle), but people with faster connections than a typical DSL/Cable connection can boost this number even higher than 30... but if you're already faster than DSL, then you don't really need to worry about page load speeds, now do you? I don't know if these types of settings are available to people running Opera or other browsers, but it is very unlikely that anybody will be able to get to these settings by using About:Config. These settings are completely unavailable to anyone using Internet Explorer or any other browser using the Trident engine. |

Opera does it by default. Firefox can do it, but is disabled by default. IE can't do it. Quote:

You need to be careful with those and other related settings. Here's some info from the Firefox Tweak Guide. Quote:
