This is from a local Mac Forum:

Here's something for broadband people that will really speed Firefox up:

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

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.

2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. 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. If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages MUCH faster now!
Okay, I've been trying out Camino and I can do every step in it up until the "3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0"." You can't right click or CTRL+click to get a menu in Camino. Does anyone know how to add in the last step in Camino?

Same here Joe, I tried every combination, including the function key on my laptop. Seems like we're out of luck

Whilst clicking maddly about I discovered that if you hold down 'alt' and scroll backwards with your scroll wheel you can go back to the previous page or pages you were viewing. I didn't know you could do that.

A small consolation prize.

Gonna down load the latest Firefox today and give it a spin. It can't be any worse than the original version 2. In my experioence it was up and down like a yoyo.
