Use pipelining to speed up your Firefox browser

If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

    Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):

=>    Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
=>    Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
=>    Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30.

This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
Also, 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.

Using Applescript to open multiple tabs

Hi,

After starting the machine, we feel to open Mozilla/Safari for browsing our favorite websites. So, we need to open the each tab again and again and enter the url or click on bookmark of our favorite website. This task can be make simpler by using AppleScript.

Here is the code

[code]
tell application "Safari"
open location "http://coding-scripting.blogspot.co.in"
open location "http://www.google.com/"
open location "http://www.nokia.com/"
open location "http://www.yahoo.com/"
end tell
[/code]

In same manner, you can use Firefox application, if you are firefox lover. Just replace Safari with Firefox.
