Introduction

Frequently-used Firefox about:config optimization parameter setup

HTTP Pipelining

Default value

network.http.proxy.pipelining        false
network.http.pipelining.ssl        false
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests        4
network.http.pipelining        false

HTTP/1.1 support Pipelining，HTTP/1.0 don't support Pipelining.

network.http.pipelining is related with Pipelining. When enabled, Firefox will check the name of IIS when connecting to the server. If the name of IIS is in the built-in old server list, Firefox will disable Pipeling because the server don't support it.

The option can be set to true. But the method is restricted by very few sites. If your Firefox browser works abnormally, for example, some pics can't be showed when enable the option, you should check the option and try to set it to false.

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests specify the number of simultaneous requests. Default value is 4, and the max is 8.

Recommend setting is 4 (default value), because the network maybe will be delayed sometimes when bigger than the default value.

network.http.pipelining.ssl Enable or Disable Pipelining when accessing SSL. When network.http.pipelining is set to true and network.http.pipelining.ssl is set to false, Pipelining is also enabled when accessing SSL.

Recommend setting is the default value.

network.http.proxy.pipelining Enable or Disable Pipelining when using proxy.

Recommend setting is false (default value), because most proxy server don't support Pipelining.
