ok, go to your mozilla folder on yer hhd. then open up the defaults folder, then open up the profile folder, then right click and make a blank txt file.....
then give it this name user.js , then open up the blank file you just renamed and put this into it:
// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
// Enable pipelining:
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);
copy that & paste it into the file you just made....that's it. then reboot....now when you use it, it should be just a little faster.
btw....i got this little trick from a different forum but it seems to work....
