We all know Firefox is a memory hogger. To speed up Firefox, however, you can follow the steps shown below :
- Open Firefox and in the address bar, type in 'about:config'.
- Click on the button : "I'll be careful, I promise".
- Use the search bar located on the page to look for 'network.http.pipelining' and double click on it to set its value to 'True'.
- Create new Boolean value named 'network.http.pipelining.firstrequest' and set that to 'True', as well.
- Find "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and double click on it. Then change its value to 8.
- Look for "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and set it to "True".
- Create two new integers named "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and "content.notify.interval" ; set them to "0".
- Now, restart your browser to experience the difference.
