Hmm, my notes also suggest these values, comments anyone?

network.http.max-connections-per-server - set it to 16

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy - set it to 8

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server - set it to 8

I have tried the advice on Kitz link  "Also worth reading"

http://egonitron.com/2007/05/25/the-truth-about-the-firefox-pipelining-trick/

But it did not seem to load any faster  :(.
I have between 20 to 35 tabs open at any one time (24 now) and they are loaded after 90 seconds then the page completely reloads again and is fully loaded at about 120 seconds.

I also use a proxy server.

I will get a better idea after using it a few times.

I suspect a good site to test this on would be www.numion.com - with a few tweaks to the test you can almost eliminate server-side lag (eg the UK http tests are stunningly slow compared to the Belgian ones - it is in fact an EXCELLENT example of how UK infrastructure lags way behind everyone else).

I'm glad I read this - and it's surprising that I first became aware of the tweaks through Lockergnome. You'd think that those guys would be a bit more clued up.

I've adjusted mine accordingly.

To be honest I have never tried tweeking FF, i am now using the Beta3 and it works for me nicely on 8. the only difference was nglayout.initialpaint.delay had to be set to disabled.

Anyone who uses a lot of Tabs tried it ? (I'm using 25 open now). If so did you see any difference ?.
