Tweak mozilla Firefox for suuper fast browsing

Heres an tweak to make Mozilla Firefox load web pages super FAST!
Note that I tested this tweak in Windows using Firefox 2.01 and I do not know if it works on other OS (Mac OS).
1. Open Mozilla Firefox
2. In the address bar type about:config then press the go button or enter and a page will show up.
3. Type in network in the filter bar and a list of things will appear with the word network do not double click on any of these!
scroll down the list until you find this: network.http.pipelining
4. After finding it double click it the value should change from false to true.
5. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and double click it a window should pop out with a default number change it to any number desired (i put in 20 but i think you can put in 1000 too but i did not test that.) and press OK then you can go to any web page and enjoy the faster loading speeds. Note downloading speeds have not been testing with this tweak yet so tell me if there's any difference.
A tweak for Internet Explorer 7 will be posted soon.



CODE
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "D:\\_\\_\\b\\bookmarks.html");
user_pref("browser.tabs.closeButtons", 0);
user_pref("browser.tabs.tabMinWidth", 0);
user_pref("browser.turbo.enabled", true);
user_pref("config.trim_on_minimize", false);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

Just copy paste these lines in prefs.js file, which can be found in following directory:

%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\random_numbers.default

PS: u can change the directory "D:\\_\\_\\b\\bookmarks.html" to ur desired location, its used to tell firefox where it should store the bookmarks big_smile.png But don't remember to include double slashes "\\"
