Why doesn't Mozilla Firefox officially support HTTP 1.1 pipelining yet?
This is really more of a philosophical question than a technical one, but I thought I'd mention it. While investigating ways to improve my browsing speed in general, I even found a Bugzilla ticket from 2004 debating this issue.
While I understand Mozilla wants to reduce the number of problems end users have, turning this option on in my browser has greatly increased the speed by which major websites load.
Since I'm asking, I would like to make sure. I'm currently using a web proxy and have both "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining" set to TRUE. Is this the appropriate way to enable this feature?
Thanks In Advance.

I see the old bug about it https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264354 but it seems turning on may or may not cause problems, and browsers like chrome have page load issues (see http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/chrome-27-firefox-21-opera-next,3534-5.html) and they have this on by defualt. Note that there aren't really any developers here. Just mostly volunteers and or contributors.

If that works better for you, use it by all means. Certainly both browser and proxy should be set the same way. I found that pipelining did not help with Mac browsers, but did help with Windows browsers with a proxy that supported it.

I found on the Mozilla website a way to submit suggestions for Mozilla Firefox.
Hopefully by submitting the same idea there, it'll get forwarded on to the correct people.
Thanks for the info!
P.S. Just FYI, I found a 200% speed improvement with Mozilla Firefox on Mac being used with Apache Traffic Server. It's pretty cool.
