It's surprise that Mozilla 5.0 is still using HTTP/1.0 protocol, not HTTP/1.1!
Even IE4 had it long time ago!  Here is what I got from netcat:

=============================================
GET / HTTP/1.0
host: localhost
user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 [en] (Win32; I)
=============================================

HTTP/1.1:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Summary: It's not HTTP/1.1 compliant → Switch on HTTP/1.1
Target Milestone: M16
We do plan to be HTTP/1.1 compliant. Its just not a very immediate item on our
list. Thanks for filing a bug for the same to help us track it. I updated the
summary and target milestone.
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new
Networking component.
pipelining support (bug#2487) would require that HTTP/1.1 be turned on in the 
header for a server to support this functionality. This is critical for 
satellite-based networks.
Severity: enhancement → critical
Keywords: beta2
Moving to M17 which is now considered part of beta2.
Target Milestone: M16 → M17
was switched on a while back... this bug must have slipped. Marking as fixed.

But by default it is off...
What do you mean by "by default it is off"?  This is what I get.

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010106
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,compress,identity
Keep-Alive: 300
Connection: keep-alive
Sorry, I meant pipelining is off by default.
