A fast internet connection and quick loading web pages is something that would make all of us more productive  .
Here is a little trick I learned.
-Open firefox.
-Type in about:config
-click on I'll be careful, I promise!
-type in Network
-Scroll about half way down until you see network.http.pipelining
-Double click on this to change it from False to True
-Directly under that there will be network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. It will be set to 4. Change this to 10 by double clicking it and typing in 10.
-Close out of firefox and re open.
Firefoxisoncrack Version 1.0 . Working on updates.
This should help with productivity. Webpages will now load super fast  .

I could certainly use faster page load times. Are there any negative side effects to taking the actions you've outlined?
I have no knowledge of what any of those terms stand for, so I'd hate to give myself headaches elsewhere in exchange for faster speeds.
Thanks,
Angie

Have you tried Google Chrome browser?
I hear that the browser is also loading web pages quite fast.
But i didn't try the browser before.

There are no adverse side effects at all =]. It just opens up a large pipe for you to zoom on.
It is noticeably faster. You will like it =]. If for some reason you don't (which you will) I will help you change it back.
Happy Browsing!

Just tried this Matt and good grief it worked a treat!
I'm a power user (to say the least) and actively use around 60 pages in my firefox and about 1/2GB RAM to boot (yup thats right)
Tried your trick and restarted - OMG Rapidly fast
Thanks so much for the tip, you're a star!
Cheers,
T.

Well, I've tried it, but I haven't detected a noticeable difference yet. It could be that it's my internet connection that is causing my slow load times and not my browser. 
I'm on satellite in Australia and it can be a bit sketchy. Oh well. I'm just thankful I have the service at all.
I'll leave it that way and see if I notice improvement over time.
Blessings,
Angie

Hi Happy Wife,
The chances are the latency (or delay) in your connection via satellite is compromising or killing the changed settings completely (or as far as you are able to detect).
I haven't met many people online with a satellite internet hookup, are you out in the bush I take it?
If anyone is having IT related issues (no complex projects pls - lol) then PM me and I will see what I can advise.
Cheers,
T.

Hi T.
Believe it or not, I'm not really out in the bush. I'm in the mountains/tablelands, but only about 5 miles out of town. We are just on old phone lines (pair gains) that won't service broadband, hence the satellite.
I only have to put up with it for a few more months since my hubby and I are heading back to the States for a year and hopefully my speeds will improve.
Thanks for your input!
Blessings,
Angie

Hi, I definately need faster firework - I usually have at least 10 pages open at the same time.
Tried this change and it is a bit faster but you got any more tricks to make it go even faster?!

I don't think the updates change your settings.. But maybe? I was just trying to be helpful ^^. I dislike google chrome yuck. It's like vista... Tries to do everything for you without you wanting it to.
