Increase the Speed in Which Firefox loads pages
This guide is based on:

[b]************BUT:[/b]
dont do the [b]browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer[/b] stuff. It's useless and actually slows down performance since most computers have plenty of RAM
1. Type “[b]about:config[/b]” into the address bar and hit Enter.
(Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)
2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set [b]“network.http.pipelining”[/b] to “[b]true[/b]”
Set “[b]network.http.proxy.pipelining[/b]” to “[b]true[/b]”
Set “[b]network.http.pipelining.maxrequests[/b]” to some number like 10.
This means it will make 10 requests at once.
3. Lastly, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “[b]nglayout.initialpaint.delay[/b]” and set its value to “0“;.(Zero)
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages faster now.
Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right Click –> New– > Interger or String
[b]network.dns.disableIPv6[/b]: set “false”
“[b]content.notify.backoffcount[/b]”: set “5“; (Five)
“[b]plugin.expose_full_path[/b]”: set “[b]true[/b]”.
“[b]ui.submenuDelay[/b]”: set “0; (zero)
------------------------------------------------
Here's a little trick i use:
If you have plenty of memory (like 1.5 GB RAM or more) Try the following to maximize RAM cache (which is faster than hard disk cache anyways)
create/edit an integer called browser.cache.memory.capacity and set it to like 131072 (128 MB)
Use a lower value if you dont have alot of memory.
Works great on a laptop with 3 GB RAM, dual core processor.
