Listening to: Fix You - Coldplay

I don’t use Firefox, but I know more than a few of you do… so this might be useful:

Go to the address bar in Firefox and type in “about:config”

Look for the following lines:

• network.http.pipelining = false

• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 4

• network.http.proxy.pipelining = false

Change them to (by click/double-click the line):

• network.http.pipelining = true

• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30

• network.http.proxy.pipelining = true

This configures the browser to make 30 requests at once and not wait for a reply
to the request before making another request

Then you need to create one new option:

• Right click anywhere on the page and select New-> Integer.

• Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”

• Set its value to “0″.

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information
it receives.  You need to restart Firefox for this to be enabled. On sites
that support pipelining (not all do) the results are dramatic.

UPDATE: Not entirely safe it turns out… YMMV
