Although I didn't think I'd have to, I actually ended up tweaking Mozilla's Firefox browser
quite a bit for speed. This page is intended to document that, as well as offer tips for
those who use other browsers.

Mozilla Firefox Tuning

There's not a whole lot to go into here, but I thought I'd offer this up as documentation
for others who may try to get the most from their ATS configuration.

Assuming you've followed the WebCacheProxyTuning page, and have everything up and running
here's what I've modified within Firefox for additional performance.


First, open your browser and enter "about:config" as the URL. This will access Firefox's
internal settings. Then, simply change the following:

1. Enable HTTP Pipelining

I did some research as to why this isn't enabled by default and really couldn't find any good reasons.
Apache Traffic Server supports this, and I found a roughly 100% speed boost by enabling it.

network.http.proxy.pipelining user_set boolean true
