Type about:config in the address bar.

Change these settings:

network.http.max-connections32
network.http.max-connections-per-server16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server16
network.http.pipeliningtrue
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests8
network.http.proxy.pipeliningtrue

UPDATE: This can now be done easily with the Tweak Network extension by choosing the Power profile.

UPDATE 2: Added the pipelining that I somehow left out and removed nglayout.initialpaint.delay

Done. Except, the following string did not exist in my config:
"nglayout.initialpaint.delay"

Create it?

Yes, right click and create a new integer named that. The default is 250, but you may want to try 100 or 30. Setting it that low actually slows down the total load time, but speeds up the time to display something. So it will only feel more responsive, it may not actually be faster.

Ahem, this is selfish on the server, network.http.max-connections-per-server shouldn't be so high

yeah, keep connections per server down to maybe 8.  and initialpaint.delay of 100 is pretty small, i keep mine at 750.

also, you missed the most important speed tweak: enabling pipelining.

Good point about the nglayout.initialpaint.delay and pipelining. I've updated my post. It was getting pretty old. 

I prefer to have a high max connections. It helps a lot when you're viewing pages with lots of images. Feel free to experiment with the values and find what works best for you.

that's awesome, my FF is a whole lot faster now. I already knew some of those though, but wow. I needed that, I don't have a lot of bandwith, and I have a lot of extensions on FF. This will hold me for a while
