Description -
Still using Internet Explorer to surf the web? Do yourself a favor and check out Mozilla's Firefox. After it's installed, follow the steps listed below to optimize it. For those who already use it, you'll see the difference straight away. Enjoy!

Directions -
Type "about:config" in your firefox address bar.
Search for the following settings:
1. network.http.pipelining
Set to true
2. network.http.pipelining.firstrequest
Set to true
3. network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Set to 32
4. network.http.proxy.pipelining
Set to true
5. nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Set to 0

Its very likely that you won't have an entry for network.http.pipelining.firstrequest. Thats ok. Just add one.

Right-click on the preferences list, select 'New' then select 'Boolean'

On the first prompt, type:

network.http.pipelining.firstrequest

On the second prompt, set it to 'true'

Its also likely that you won't have an entry for nglayout.initialpaint.delay

On the first prompt, type:
nglayout.initialpaint.delay
On the second prompt, set it to '0'
