Hey, i just found out a way to make your firefox load pages faster
code:

// Enable http compression: comment this out in case of problems with 1.1
//pref("network.http.accept-encoding" ,"gzip,deflate");

pref("network.http.pipelining"      , true);
pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);

// Always pipeling the very first request:  this will only work when you are
// absolutely sure the the site or proxy you are browsing to/through support
// pipelining; the default behavior will be that the browser will first make
// a normal, non-pipelined request, then  examine  and remember the responce
// and only the subsequent requests to that site will be pipeline
pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);


enable that (comment pref("network.http.accept-encoding" ,"gzip,deflate"); or if you don't wanna leave it as it is)


do this in: Mozilla FireFox/defaults/pref/all.js
*remember that code above is already there, you just gatta enable it so just do a 'find, CTRL+F for pipe. Also this is mostly for people who have fast connections

There's a change you can make in mozilla. If you have a faster connection, you can enable pipelining, which basically means it makes more than one connection to the server and downloads more than one file/image/whatever at the same time.

"Also, this is mostly for people who have fast connections"
Crying or Very sad

It's like the opposite of income tax. Your making the fast faster and the slow, well, the same. Sad

If you have quicktime installed, it's the one that uses the flash files... just remove flash from the ones that it's suppose to use *bla*

i had that problem with mozilla, but i don't with firefox. i installed flash around 10 times for mozilla and it still won't work, but i only had to do it once for firefox, which is good.
