mine was sent to me by a friend:

 If you're on a broadband or better connection, here is something that will really speed Firefox up:

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining 

network.http.proxy.pipelining

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.

When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" 

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" 

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests". This sets the max number of requests it will make at once. I set mint to 25

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. Depending on your connection you're pages will
load MUCH faster now.

NOTE: Don't go nuts with the maxrequests parameter. If you set it too
high some sites with routers set up for that sort of thing may regard
it as a DOS attack and automatically ban your ip.
