There is an easier way to do the same thing using the "Tweak Network Settings" extension in Firefox. Using the manual "about:config" is nice because you can see all of the various settings in Firefox, but if you are looking to just speed up your browsing, try the extension.

Speaking of not researching, setting the maxrequests to 30 will not do any good anyways, as the hard limit is 8, so anything over 8 will be ignored.

GAH! I wish people would do a bit more research before posting this sort of information. Think about this line for a moment: '"network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 30, meaning it will be able to make 30 requests at once.' That means your browser will make 30 requests at once. Perhaps you will speed up your connection, if the site isn't busy, but you will slow down that site. Now imagine a site that gets 10000 visitors a day. Instead of 10000 requests, it'll get 300000. So using this way to speed up Firefox, you greedy bastards, will start knocking sites offline as their servers get overwhelmed by unexpected requests. Nice work.
