    Well if you wan't to speed up firefox without tweaking all the settings yourself I would use Mozilla Optimizer, which is going to tweak your pipelining settings and make Firefox faster (the same thing the recipe tells you)! You can download this at
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Browser-Tweak/Mozilla-Optimizer.shtml and all you do is run it and it does this for you.
    You can also get FasterFox (a firefox extension) which also tweaks your about:config settings.
    You can get this at https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1269&application=firefox

    Try either one of them and you are definately going to see a speed difference just like the recipe says!

    Hope this helps the people who don't want to change settings themselves! :D

    maxrequests is set to 4 for a very good reason. Setting it to 32 is fairly hostile/inconsiderate to a web server administrator.

    Other than that, good tips.

    In order to remove any preference from the about:config area (in this case the string) just right click (or control click) on it and hit 'Reset' and just restart Firefox. It is going to remove the string. Then just add in the correct boolean.

    It doesn't really matter anyways, but if it is causing problems then you might want to remove the string.
