    tried it and it works

    Here's something for broadband people 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. Double clik to change to true

    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 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! That's a lot faster. I just installed Firefox the other day and had already sworn off IE for good, but this just makes it even easier to never go back.

    Its definately faster, but I had some problems on ebay. Missing buttons, long autofill wait, non-renders.

    Cool overall.

    I have had similar problems with Firefox overall. It just doesn't load everything IE will.
