Firefox owes its popularity to its speed and extensibility. Firefox offers certain hidden settings to help you tweak up Firefox. Type “about:config” in the address bar and hit Enter. You may be prompted with a warning; click “I’ll be careful, I promise”. Type “network” in the “Filter” box at the top. Tweak the following settings:

1. Locate the setting “network.http.pipelining” and modify its value to “True” . You can do so by double-clicking the entry.
2. Similarly, locate  “network.http.proxy.pipelining” entry and change its value to “True”.
3. Search for the entry “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”, change its default value of 4 and provide a value in the range of 5-8.
4. Modify the value of “network.http.max-connections” to 96.
5. Boost up the value of connections per server to 32 by modifying the value of “network.http.max-connections-per-server”.

Once you are done away with all the settings, restart firefox for the changes to reflect. Browse the world wide web and experience faster web site loading times.
