Warning: doing this wrong can cause Mozillia firefox to not function correctly or completely fail do this at your own risk

Hypertext Transfer Protocol or HTTP is a request/response protocol used to transfer or convey information between clients and servers. In simple words, the client makes an HTTP request and the responding Server (Origin Server) which stores the resources or information will respond to it. HTTP Pipelining is a technique in which multiple requests will be send out without waiting for the corresponding responses. By customizing the HTTP Pipelining in Firefox, it helps to speed up the browsing capability.

step one: Run Firefox. Type in “about:config” into the address bar and press Enter.
step two: look for “network.http.pipelining“, “network.http.proxy.pipelining” and “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests“.
step three: change value for network.http.pipelining to true by double clicking on it
step four: change value for network.http.proxy.pipelining to true by double clicking on it
step five: set the integer for network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to "100"
step six: select any of the listed options and do a right-click. Select “New” followed by “Integer”. There is a small pop-up box which requires you to enter the preference name. Just type in “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″ in a subsequent pop-up box. This signifies to the browser to act immediately on the information it receives without waiting for any lapse of time.
step seven: finally close Mozilla fire fox and restart it pages should load much faster than before.

information originally from [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] i just simplified it and increased the maxrequests from 30 to 100

update this causes some websites to not load correctly this is the solution for those pages
open firefox type about:config in the browser address bar
find network.http.pipelining.ssl and network.http.proxy.pipelining and set there values to true
this should fix the pages that have loading issues if any of the pipelining values are set to false they all need to be set to true
