I much prefer Opera to Firefox, but I am very pleased with Mozilla Thunderbird as an email client. Opera has been nothing but splendid to me since I first installed it.

communication between a client (browser) and web server is typically sequential. to load up a web page with a bunch of images, everything is requested and downloaded one single piece at a time. HTTP pipelining allows the client to make multiple requests to the server, even if some data requested earlier hasn't been received yet. at least ideally, this makes better use of the bandwidth. those with broadband connections will benefit from this, but i'm not sure it will help people still using modems. you shouldn't confuse this with being able to send and receive multiple packets in parallel - that is something entirely different. HTTP pipelining just allows the browser to make more requests while it's still waiting for other stuff.

there are quite a few tweaks you can do to speed up firefox, I believe it's been discussed here before.

opera's a great browser too. compared to firefox, i consider it about equal. opera still claims to be "The Fastest Browser on Earth", and sometimes i think it's true. but really, even with all the firefox speed tweaks enabled, the difference (if any) isn't going to amount to more than a few milliseconds in most cases. i really like that opera has built-in mouse gestures, and that their tabbed browsing is a lot more fully-featured by default. but the application itself is a lot heavier for it.

it's not free, either
