<p>-<strong>Requirements </strong>-<br />
***FireFox (Windows)***<br />
***FireFox (MAC)***</p>
<p>1. Open firefox and type the following in the address bar: about:config</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>

<p>2. Right click&gt; New&gt; integer</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
<td>This image has been resized.Click to view original image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><a rel="lytebox[19669]" href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/2-1.png"><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/2-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>3. a window will come up name it: layout&#8217;s.initialpaint.delay</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
<td>This image has been resized.Click to view original image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><a rel="lytebox[19669]" href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/3-1.png"><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/3-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="500" /></a><br />
(After this, click the ok button)</p>
<p>4. Another box will come up change that to: 0</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
<td>This image has been resized.Click to view original image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><a rel="lytebox[19669]" href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/4-1.png"><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/4-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now, in the filter box which is located just below the addressbar and tabs, is something called the filter bar. It&#8217;s role is to sort out the text and it narrows down what you type in the box</p>
<p>5. Type the following in the filter bar: <span style="color: red;">network.http.proxy.pipelining </span><br />
once located double click so it is then set to true and not false</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
<td>This image has been resized.Click to view original image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><a rel="lytebox[19669]" href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/5-1.png"><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/5-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>6. Do the same to: network.http.pipelining</p>
<p>7. Now, you will see both are set to <em>true</em></p>
<p>8.  Try to find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests<br />
Double click on that and a window will come up, then change that to around &#8220;1000&#8243; though you can go higher (some people say 30) i just havent tried it yet but sometimes if you do go higher it doesnt go as fast but &#8220;1000&#8243; loads really abruptly.</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
<td>This image has been resized.Click to view original image</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p><a rel="lytebox[19669]" href="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/7-1.png"><img src="http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t246/halotape/7-1.png" border="0" alt="" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>9 ok now that that is what step 5-8 should look like</p>
<table class="thead" border="0" width="500">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="20"><img src="http://www.forum.syshacks.com/images/statusicon/wol_error.gif" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" /></td>
