To pipeline Firefox or not to pipeline Firefox?
That is the question. Still says it's not supported by everything etc etc, so: do you do it, and does it help? THX JLJ

THX JLJ If you're talking about HTTP pipelining in HTTP/1.1, it should be fine to use it. I've always had it turned on, but never noticed anything detrimental for it. To turn it on, use about:config (there used to be GUI options for it, but I don't see them anymore). network.http.keep-alive must be set to true and network.http.version must be set to 1.1 (which are the default values). Set networking.http.pipelining to true to turn it on. You can also enable it on HTTPS and proxy connections but turning on network.http.pipelining.ssl and network.http.proxy.pipelining, but I don't recommend it for security reasons. More information can be found at: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/netlib/http/pipelining-faq.html http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining

Just for the record, setting network.http.pipelining to true overrides the network.http.pipelining.ssl setting of false so pipelining will be used for secure websites as well as unsecured sites: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.pipelining.ssl -- When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there. -Dennis

No. All pipelining does is send multiple http requests in one packet instead of sending one request per packet and waiting for a response from the server before sending the next request in another packet. A high-latency connection (like my satellite connection) will see more benefit from pipelining than will a low-latency wired connection. -- When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there. -Dennis

Firefox within Firefox
For a short time now (likely since upgrading to FF 1.5.02) I've noticed that when running a Firefox session, ZA will popup a notice that Firefox -- verified the same exe as the running one -- is "trying to access the internet." This is confusing because it's already accessing the internet, thanks much. However, the destination IP is always along the lines of 206.141.192.60:DNS, which translates to dns1.chcgil.sbcglobal.net, part of my ISP. So I've been saying yes.
