    Wow, Thanks for that MJDWalsh!

    The google page went from .650 to .132, which you can see a difference!

    Thanks!

    If you don't have nglayout.initialpaint.delay listed, do this:

    Right-Click > New > Integer

    Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay, and set the value to 0.

    Yes guys, it does work. Give it a try and test your page loading speeds. :)

    I've known about this for about a year. Opera is still faster.

    Firefox"....u can make it possible....by making a few settings.......

    check this out:

    NOTE: Only Works in Mozilla Firefox!

    Try this and tell me after words hw's it wrks???

    Basically after getting to the hidden config settings you set the browser to request more data that it usually does.

    step 1.
    Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. 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.

    Step2.
    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!
