As you may know Fasterfox is a great addon for firefox, but there isn't a version available for Firefox 3. Following these steps can help your firefox become faster over a broadband connection, I saw immediate results after doing this.

WARNING, IF YOU MESS UP YOUR FIREFOX BY CHANGING OR ADDING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT IS MENTIONED IT IS NOT MY FAULT.

1.Type "about:config" into your adress bar and go to it, you will see this message:

Once you clicked "I'll be careful..." it will look like this.

2.
-In the filter bar search for:

network.http.pipelining

Right click it, and select toggle making it TRUE

-also search for:

network.http.proxy.pipelining

right click, toggle to TRUE

-search for:

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

right click, modify to a number like 30, dont go overboard, this is the amount of requests firefox will send a page.

When finish it should look like:

Finally, right click in a blank area and select new, then integer.

name it: nglayout.initialpaint.delay

and give it a value of 0

That means it will wait 0 seconds to act on a webpage.

When completed it should look like:
