    AKW already posted his answer, so no-one else needs to post.

    Here you go man:

    Code:
    1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries: 
    
    network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 
    
    Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. 
    
    2. Alter the entries as follows: 
    
    Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" 
    
    Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" 
    
    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.
