I love Break.com, much better than other video clip sites, although not that many clips get posted, but damn they are funny. However in Firefox on Linux/Ubuntu is loads bloody slow. Mainly because of Flash issue, but what is Firefox could open more pipeline to a website??

Google’d and found a on WikiHow a nice and easy article, check it here and the steps are easy:

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
2. 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.
3. Alter the entries as follows:
4. Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” by double-clicking it.
5. Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” by double-clicking it.
6. Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to 8 by double-clicking it. This means it will make 8 requests at once. There is no point setting it higher then 8 as it is capped at 8 max. [The default value for this setting is 4]
7. 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.
8. If you’re using a broadband connection you’ll load pages MUCH faster now!
