How do I increase Http pipelining to a higher level to speed up Firefox?
I have been having problems with loading eBay pages, while almost any other site responds immediately. On eBay, I get "Waiting for..." messages at the bottom and then the page will time out and give me a "Page not found" or "Connection was reset" message. I have noticed this over the past two weeks. I did find a link at "http://www.mydigitallife.info/speed-up-your-firefox-by-adjusting-your-http-pipelining/" related to this problem, involving typing "about.config" in the Firefox address bar, then finding "network.http.pipelining" and changing the maximum requests to 30, but this just gives me "Page not found" instead of the required configuration listing. What am I doing wrong, or how do I carry out this fix so I can load eBay pages?

It is about:config with a colon and not a dot (about: is a protocol like http:).
Note that enabling pipelining can cause problem with server that aren't supporting http pipelining properly.
That article is quite old - Oct 16, 2007
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests is set to 32 by default in later versions of Firefox, so that won't need to be changed.
