Speed Up Mozilla Firefox 3x Faster
Speed up Mozilla Firefox:
# Reduce Firefox’s RAM Usage for Its Cache Feature:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in the address bar of your Firefox and press Enter.
2. Find “browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer”
3. Set the value to “0” (Zero)
# Cut Down Ram Usage to 10 MB when Firefox is Minimized:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in the address bar of your Firefox and press Enter.
2. Right click in the page and select “New” > “Boolean”
3. In the pop-up box that appears, enter “config.trim_on_minimize” and hit Enter
4. Select True and press Enter.
# Increase the Page Load Speed of Firefox:
Normally the browser makes one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining, it will make several requests at once, which really speeds up page loading.
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in the address bar of your Firefox and press Enter.
2. Find and Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
3. Find and Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
4. Find and Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like “10”. (Meaning that it will make 10 requests at once.)
5. right click anywhere in the configuration window and from the pop-up menu select: “New” > “Integer”
Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay”
Set its value to “0” (Zero)
This value represents the amount of time the browser waits before acting upon the information it has received. If you are using a broadband connection, your pages will load faster now.
# Get Even Faster Web Browsing:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in the address bar of your Firefox and press Enter.
2. Right click in the window and choose “New” > “Integer” or “String”
3. Enter “network.dns.disableIPv6” in the pop-up box and set value to “false”.
4. Repeat step 2, and enter “content.notify.backoffcount” in the pop-up box and set value to “5”.
5. Repeat step 2 and enter “plugin.expose_full_path” and set value to “true”.
6. Repeat step 2 and enter “ui.submenuDelay” and set value to “0” (Zero).
