Excellent Firefox tweak

Forgive me if this is common knowledge and I am just behind the times.

I found a Firefox tweak site that gives you some predefined scripts to add to the .js editor in Chroma extension.

Copy and paste the appropriate code into the editor and it is like a ROCKET for loading pages.

Firefox has always seemed fast and I have a very fast connection but it seemed to scroll through and build pages as it read code, thus making it appear faster, even though the page isn't fully loading right away.
The tweak code I just tested loads pages instantly. It doesn't speed up your connection but the page load times are instantaneous, the page doesn't 'build' in front of your eyes.

It's like changing channels on a TV now!

Edit: forgot to add the link! DOH! :D

I had done the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and network.http.pipelining ones a few weeks ago and saw a noticeable improvement.

It's great, you never see extensions like that for IE on the Microsoft support site.

Instead they woud have a third party making buggy, untested code and plugins that install adwas untilyou pay to unlock the software and remove the ads. :)
