Optimize Firefox Performance

tips to reduce memory usage In Mozilla Firefox :

  1. Type about:config in the Firefox address bar
  2. Search for browser.sessionhistory.max_entries
  3. Double click on the value 50, change it to something lower, say 5 .

On an average we surf less than 5 of the websites we previously surfed before, there is no need to use up that much memory (which is 50 by default)

Releasing the memory when  Firefox is  minimized :

  1. Launch Mozilla Firefox
  2. Key in about:config in the address bar.
  3. Right click at the content (anywhere) and choose New->Boolean.
  4. In the textbox, type config.trim_on_minimize and press OK.
  5. Set the value to true, and press OK.
  6. Restart firefox to take effect.

It is highly recommended to  uninstall unnecessary themes and plug-ins in order to reduce the memory usage.Using the above technique you may achieve around 50 MB save in memory usage.

Mozilla Firefox : How To Increase Speed Of Internet

Below are some
tips to tweak Firefox For a faster internet connection speed.
Open Mozilla Firefox and Follow These Steps

1.Type about:config into the address bar and
hit Enter.
Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
(Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you
enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page
loading.)

2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to
some number like 40.
This means it will make 40 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select 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 recieves.
