Tweak Firefox&#39;s rendering settings

If you love delving into Firefox's about:config menu to manually tweak, Computer World highlights a bunch of tweaks not previously covered by us. One of the most responsive of the 20+ tweaks mentioned by CW involves configuring how long Firefox waits before rendering the current page.

Creating an nglayout.initialpaint.delay integer preference lets you control how long Firefox waits before starting to render a page. If this value isn't set, Firefox defaults to 250 milliseconds, or 0.25 of a second. Some people report that setting it to 0 — i.e., forcing Firefox to begin rendering immediately — causes almost all pages to show up faster.
