Off-topic for this blog, but I figured I'd share anyway... I have no clue why it works or what it's really doing, so if someone reading can fill me in and tell me if this is a bad idea...
Anyway, in Firefox open a new window/tab and in the address bar enter about:config and hit enter.
Then change the following values:
- network.http.pipelining to true
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 23
- network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
End result: Firefox seems quite a bit faster. Again, I have no idea what's going on here, but no complaints yet!
Thanks to Lorin for this tip!
