Heres something a friend of mine came across and sent me on email. I have not tried all of these yet but so far the ones I have tried are working pretty good. Anyways enjoy.
Since I did not write this nor do I know where it came from im going to include everything about it that was sent to me.
1. type about:config in the address bar.
2. Locate "network.http.pipelining" and double click it. You should see it turn from false to "true".
3. Locate "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and double click it. You should see it turn from false to "true".
4. Locate "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and double click it. Type in the number 32.
5. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay
6. Type 0 into the box that pops up.
You should notice a dramatic speed increase in the page-loading time if you have a broadband connection now
Here's a link that has "Advanced Configuration Options" and the following page has different "speed" settings depending on you connection.
Here are some excellent Firefox hacks, some have been posted before but there's one that's really good. It's my favorite, it's "Tell Firefox what we want to see (and what we don't)". This hack gets rid of 95% of those annoying ads that hang out on the periphery of the pages (also speeds up page loading). Only slightly technical, but well worth the effort. Go here:
If restarting your browser doesn't work, restart your comp.
This also seems to help speed things up...

network.dns.disableIPv6
Set this to true, that will also speed up
Use this tip to load Firefox quicker at startup
Right click your short cut that you click to open Firefox and click Properties,
In the Target field add /Prefetch:1 to the end so it should look something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1
Mentioned these settings to my mate who is Linux developer who runs the server I use for my sites
This was his reply to increasing the
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30 or 40>

Sounds good, but you may not realise that opening 30-40 connection to a webserver per page is totally hammering the crap out of the server!
It seems a bit selfish to increase the load on ANY server you browse to 3000-4000 %, just so that your web experience is faster. I would think a number like 5 would be adequate(and a decent compromise).
It is like an RSS feeder you dont set them to check the website every minute(if you did you'd get blocked), so you only check every 30 minute to ease the load on the server/net. If everyone did what you are doing then the web would fall apart(no server could operate) so I hope you realise how disproportionate a response it is from you. You are basically taking up the equivalent load of 30-40 people browsing the same page!

I set it back to 5.
