Seems to open your pages a bit faster.

Open up a new tab and in the address bar type "about:config" without the quotes. Then follow these steps.

Scroll down until you see network.http.pipelining then

double click on "network.http.pipelining" - (Change Value to True instead of False.)
double click on "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" - Change the Value to 8 (you can try higher but 8 seems to work well.)

Let me know what ya think.

Thanks Jw7...

:D

Although I haven't really noticed a HUGE increase in speed...but maybe a slight one.

Has any web developer found a solution to keep firefox users from scraping or downloading pics from a website.

I hate how firefox can disable javascript. Makes our lives hell.

I noticed it on page loads. I went back to IE b/c there was just a bit of hesitation in loading pages in Firefox. But after applying the fix, it is just as fast if not faster than IE.
