Here is my Firefox config values I played with. Tested with my 2.5mbit DSL connection. It should work for DSL/Cable users. Not intended for dial-up users!To start: 1. Open Firefox. 2. Type "about:config" in the adress bar. 3. Find these options, double click each one and change to below values: CODE network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6
network.http.pipelining: true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8
network.http.proxy.pipelining: true 4. After changing the values just close Firefox and open it again. 5. All Done. Enjoy the speed!  Alternative: "Tweak Network Settings" Firefox extension. http://www.bitstorm.org/extensions/Very handy extension for faster changing above values.

Anyone know what to change to make it faster for 3mbit cable? I'm a new Firefox user, so I haven't figured everything out yet. I'll at least try this though. Thanks [edit]Works well. Thanks. Still looking for 3 mbit setting though, if anyone has them  [/edit]

What about 11.0 Mbps, Mega-Bytes per seconds I'm guessing? I might change my mind to FireFox because it is not built-in to Windows XP, none of my friends use it, SP2 security is almost the same except i.e has no DL manger.

How can anyone notice a speed difference above 2mbit ? It loads so fast... what difference does it make... half a milisecond faster ?  I tried the settings on my 4.5mbit connection and I noticed no difference
