Firefox Tweaks

These collective tips can be considered an oldie but goodie, I have been using them for a while, and although I still feel like Chrome is much faster even against these tweaks, it still lets me use Firefox at a respectable speed, and keep all of the addons I use with it.
I still use the combination of IE, FF, and Chrome, but I spend most of my time on FireFox, as do most people according to recent analysis: w3schools Browser Usage

Onto the tweaks. To implement the following, simply open a FireFox browser window, and type the following as the URL:  about:config

A windows will appear warning you of a warranty void, click "I'll be careful, I promsie!" to proceed.

In the "Filter" textbox, enter the following: network.http.pipelining



FireFox by default is set to make only 1 request to a webpage at a time. When you enable pipelining, it allows the browser to make several requests at once.

For the following names, enter the following values (by double-clicking the name)
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 10
