FirefoxOk, you cruise the internet a lot. And you like Firefox because, well, a lot of things, one of which is its speed. But do you want to make Firefox really soar? Try yet another firefox tweak that you will absolutely love. This one involves “piggy-backing” off of another little tweak that I introduced earlier. You will want to type “about:config” into the address bar. And you will want to change two values in the config file. Change “network.http.pipelining” to true and change “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 30. Now go ahead and browse, I dare you! You should notice that Firefox now soars!

    Changing the max requests to 30, well ff will override that, because it will auto go on 8.
