Type about:config on the Firefox address bar and hit Enter.
This will display an alphabetical listing of preferences by name, as well as a search bar at the top.

Type network.http.pipe on the Filter search bar

A narrowed down list will appear showing preferences network.http.pipeliningandnetwork.http.pipelining.maxrequests and their current values.

Double-click on the network.http.pipelining string to change its value to true if not already.


Double-click on the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests string and change the current value in the Enter interger value box to 34 and click ok

To enable the turbo feature in Firefox you will need to manually create a preference.

Right-click anywhere on the page and select New and then Boolean.


Enter browser.turbo.enabled as the preference name in the New boolean value box and click ok, and then set the value in the Enter Boolean value box to true.

That's it, now simply close and restart Firefox, and you should see an immediate 10% to 40% increase in web page transfer speed, and faster opening of your tabbed windows !
