Firefox has a couple of hidden network settings. With this extension, you can tweak these settings, and you might be able to speed up the loading of web pages. You can also increase the maximum number of simultaneous downloads from a site (the default is only four).
Instead of changing each setting, you can also choose one of two profiles. The Power profile increases the maximum number of connections and turns on pipelining. The Default profile will reset the settings to the save, default values.
The Tweak Network Settings extension is compatible with the latest Firefox 3.5 release.
After installing the extension, the network settings are not changed. You have to change the settings yourself (just choose the Power Profile). You can find Tweak Network in the Tools menu.
