    What is the pipeline in Firefox?

    Hello friends,
    I have recently started using the Firefox. Before that I was using an Internet Explorer but due to some issues I decided to start with the Firefox. I was just reading some features of it, while I came to know about the pipeline. There was not enough explanations about it in that. So, I decided to take some help from you guys.!! Please tell me what is the pipeline in Firefox? Hoping that someone out there might help me as soon as possible.

    You may have heard of the "pipeline" trick to speed up browsing in Mozilla's Firefox browser. If you are not familiar with the stuff, it claims to speed up your browsing in Firefox, opening multiple "tricks" you can make multiple HTTP requests to a web server, each pipe downloading a different part of the Web page, and then assemble them correctly to your browser.

    Normally, HTTP requests are issued sequentially, with the next request being issued only after the response to the current application has been fully received. Depending on the time of network latency and bandwidth limitations, which can cause a significant delay before the next request is seen by the server. HTTP allows multiple HTTP requests to be written to a socket together without waiting for answers. The applicant then waits for responses to arrive in the order in which they were requested. The act of pipeline demand may result in a dramatic improvement in page loading time, especially on high latency connections.

    For doing the pipeline, you will have to search the network.http. For doing that, follow the steps :
    1. In the filter "search box", type "network.http" (without quotes.) You do not have to press Enter.
    2. Look for the "network.http.keep-alive" setting and make sure it is set to "true".
    3. If it is false "," double-click on that line and it will change to true.
    4. On the same page, look for "network.http.version" and make sure it is set to "1.1".

    The following steps can be useful for emptying the filter box :
    1. Search for "network.http.pipelining" right-click on that line, and click "toggle" and make sure the value is set to "true".
    2. If you're on a proxy, look for "network.http.proxy.pipelining" right-click on that line, and click "toggle" and make sure the value is set to "true". If you do not know if you're on a proxy or not, just set to "true" anyway. It does not hurt anything.
    3. Finally, the search for "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" right-click on this line, click on "edit" and set the value to 8. You can place it anywhere between 1 and 8. If you notice that your internet is acting strange after that, try lowering this value.

    Ignore the sites that tell you to set the value to "30". These same pages also tell you to create a new value called "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and put encette value to "0". All this is to start posting information on the web page did not earlier. Nglayout.initialpaint.delay does not make your page load faster. In fact, it can load more slowly, especially on slower connections. If you create this value and the value "0", you'll see the page to start immediately, but it will take more time to finish completely.
