Read this elsewhere, and damned if it didn't work. Now, I'm sure the tech guys here know about this, but there may be others like me who didn't:

Here's how you speed up youre firefox 10x faster

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar of firefox and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Note: To set things to TRUE then you have to right click on the item listed and then click toggle (thanks blue)

set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

I have had major speed issues here and on other Vbulletin boards. Not anymore. If this breaks things in the long run, I hope someone here will educate me about it.

Huh. I already had all these set, and I'm pretty sure I haven't done anything about them. I guess they have changed the defaults or something.
