Firefox 3 as we all know is now super quick at loading pages. But there is always room ofr improvement and best of all since Firefox is open source software there is a lot of ways that you can mod the app.
1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit enter. You will get a warning about changing settings but we are not doing anything too radical so it is OK. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 8. This means it will make 8 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 recieves.

WHY isn’t it listed and both corporate and community rated in the “find new add-ons for …” pages. Yeh, I realize it isn’t exactly an add-on, but it is a GnuRules-writ program of some repute, exactly how good or bad, I just don’t know because …

I always use that….tks
if u have to refresh every page more than 2-3 times, to get the full page loaded, than know that these settings are the culprit… Than reset the settings to default through firefox’s safemode…
