is this safe or no ? please tell me by raybyray7@yahoo.com - Speed up mozilla firefox Just do this.... Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries: network.http.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests network.http.proxy.pipelining 2. Alter the entries as follows: Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. 3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> 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 receives.

Just leave those prefs at the default settings, unless you know what you are doing. You may see a gain on some websites and on others it may not work or cause rendering errors or other problems.

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is clamped to a maximum of 8, so higher values won't have any effect.

You're welcome. Sounds like a wise decision to me. You tend to forget having made such changes and it makes troubleshooting issues more complicated. You can of course make another profile that has some of those tweaks if you want to test things, but keep your default profile clean with default values.
