• “All right, I am going to give away my secret.
  If you are a web designer and working with CSS, install Firebug. You won’t believe how much time this great extension had saved me.” - Cigar Reviews
• “Did you know that when you start the Firefox browser you can open multiple tabs? To do this, go to Tools>Otions and make sure you’re on the ‘main’ tab. On the text field for homepage input the addresses separated by a “|” (without the quotation marks).” - Budz
• “This is a tip to speed up Firefox which makes loading pages faster. What you’re going to do is enable pipelining which means that instead of making one request at a time, Firefox will make several requests to a web page. follow the simple instructions below to do it:1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following:
  network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

  2. Alter the following to:
  Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
  Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
  Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to something like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

  3. Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.” - iSpy
