Firefox goofiness..

Anyone know if there's a hidden setting somewhere that will allow a new page to load even if one that is already loading isnt done yet? It's like it will only load one page at a time from the same domain or something.. for example surfing a TGP - I go to the main page, while the rest of the thumbs are loading I attempt to visit a gallery in a new tab.. the new tab wont go anywhere until the first page is completely done, quite annoying.. Any ideas? I searched google but couldnt come up with anything.

[edit]Hmm, maybe I jumped the gun here.. it must just give the first page I'm on extreme priority over the new one and its just my rediculously slow connection to blame . I feel like I live in a 3rd world country with this 33.6k MAXIMUM bullshit.. Carry on, nothing to see here

1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set "browser.turbo.enabled" - to "true"

Set "network.dns.disableIPv6 - to "true"

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

4. Restart FireFox
