You're in luck.  Someone in my local LUG posted this on the other day.
 Works wonders.

<paste>

   1.Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and
look for the following entries:

   network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

   Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When
you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up
page loading.

   2. Alter the entries as follows:

   Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

   Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

   Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.

   3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it
"nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the
amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

   If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
