Yeah if your going to enable pipelining you should also speed up the page rendering by:

Speed up page rendering

By default, Firefox doesn't try to render a web page for 250 milliseconds, because it's waiting for data. If you add the code below to your user.js file, Firefox immediately tries to render the page, even without complete data. The drawback is on slower machines where doing a "reflow" may actually cause the total page load time to be longer.

// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

have been using it for the manual hack before. you know, bug#xxxxx (i forgot) that creates a huge delay if firefox/mozilla is maximized after it was minimized for a long time. i think this is fixed in the latest version though.

Just got firefox.

Is there anyway to move the toolbars around as in IE?

All that wasted space at the top is bugging me. In IE I have it set to a single line.

View > Toolbars > Customize. You can drag the existing icons and bars around from there, and also add more buttons. I just made my FF have all it's buttons and address bars on one line, although I don't like it.

actually I hate using firefox too.

That worked , thanks.

IE does handle it a little better in that you can move the areas around and cover up infrequently used icons and than just drag the seperator over if you do need one.


I like the biggest browsing window I can get, so one line it is for now.

browser.turbo.enabled true
network.http.pipelining true
network.http.proxy.pipelining true (if you use a proxy)
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 8
network.http.max-connections 30
network.http.max-connections-per-server 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 8 (again, for proxy)
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 8
nglayout.initialpaint.delay 100

Theres what I modified/added... the last one needed to be added as an "integer" value but it gives the biggest performance increase.

What version are you using. To my knowledge the "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" isn't available in about:config 0.9.01. So I used the modification to the user.js file I posted above. Don't know how much effect it had as I did it as soon as I upgraded.
