Firefox HTTP pipelining

[labbe5]

Open a tab, and on the address bar you type : about:config. Just accept the warning (if you know what you do).

In the configuration area, click on the search box, and enter network.http.pipelining

It will pop up, then double click on it, and set it to true, thus enabling http pipelining.

As a result, web pages will load faster, because multiple HTTP requests will be done at the same time, instead of only one at a time.

By the way, Mozilla has a new HTTP cache system. It's not enabled by default. In the configuration page (about:config), enter browser.cache.use_new_backend in the search box.

Move your mouse over "0" and right click on it. In the context menu, click the modify option.

A text box with "0" will be inside it. Change the "0" to "1". As a result, the new caching system will be in use. And Firefox will be a bit faster.
