Buried in a comment in the article is a mention of the FF extension Fasterfox which is nice: http://fasterfox.mozdev.org/

There's also a nice Firefox plugin that you can use to make the pipelining changes. It's all here. http://tinyurl.com/dgenbf

Pipelining and increasing max requests is considered harmful. Please do not enable these.

Both Mozilla and WebKit discourage this and for good reason.

The one biggest firefox speedup that linux users can get is by installing a Minefield nightly (Firefox 3). It's a night and day difference.

Download the latest 3.2a with TraceMonkey (Mozilla's answer to Chrome's V8 javascript engine) - it makes a world of difference.
