Increase Speed Of Mozilla Firefox Browser


Firefox is already pretty damn fast.  But you can tweak it and improve the speed even more.  That's the advantage of this program being an open source !!!

  




Here is what you have to do :
  • In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox. 
  • Double Click on the following settings and put in the numbers below for the true / false options. They will interchange when you click on it.
Codes :
  • browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
  • network.http.max-connections – 48
  • network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
  • network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
  • network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
  • network.http.pipelining – true
  • network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
  • network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
  • network.http.request.timeout – 300
  • Right-click any where on this screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.
Note : These are what i have found to speed up my Firefox significantly and these settings are common among everybody else as well. These settings are optimized for broadband connections. I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipe-lining.

Thank you..
