Someone asked this a couple weeks back, if there was anyway to speed up firefox, anyway I found this on another forum, and I tried it. It actually is loading pages much faster, anyway, here it is:
Quote:
1.Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
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.maxre quests” to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
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.
If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!
Nice Keith. There was link posted to i believe a CNET article on how to soup up firefox. Same kinda stuff but it still works great.

I agree the combination is probably the best approach. And 1.5 rocks.
