Within 2 minutes, you can ‘tweak’ your Firefox browser to boost up its speed by almost 40%.

1. Open the Firefox “config” page by typing “about:config” in the address bar. The CONFIG file will appear in the browser window.

2. Locate the “network.http.pipelining” and double click on it. This will increase the “pipeline” RAM ability for Firefox to accomodate more packet transfer.

3. Next, increase the maximum pipeline requests to 8. Find the line that says “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”. Double click on it, and a dialog box will pop up. Change the setting from 4 to 8.

Close the ‘config’ file, restart your Firefox and feel the difference!

Enjoy (=
