Firefox is catching up with Chrome gradually by adding some features that Chrome has owned. Currently, Mozilla indicates that they will contain SPDY protocol support in Firefox 11. But by default, SPDY protocol support is disabled and you need to enable it by setting the preference “network.http.spdy.enabled” value to true in about:config.
