Speed up Firefox (Works like a charm)

Firefox comes shipped with a bunch of default settings, but some of these slow down your browsing experience if you have broadband and you have a fast computer. Doing these tweaks will hopefully speed up Firefox on your computer. :D

1 ) Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.

2 ) Scroll down until you find:

network.dns.disableIPv6
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.prefetch-next

3 ) Find all of those and double-click on them until they turn bold.

4 ) Find network.http.max-connections and double-click on it. Put 32 in the box that pops out and click OK.

5 ) Find network.http.max-connections-per-server and double-click on it. Put 20 in the box that pops out and click OK.

6 ) Find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy and double-click on it. Put 8 in the box that pops out and click OK.

7 ) Find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server and double-click on it. Put 5 in the box that pops out and click OK.

8 ) Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and double-click on it. Put 6 in the box that pops out and click OK.

9 ) Find content.notify.backoffcount and double-click on it. Put 5 in the box that pops out and click OK.

10 ) Right-click something and select New -> String. Type in nglayout.initialpaint.delay for the name and 50 for the value. (If we put 0, it will slow down page loading.)

11 ) Right-click something and select New -> String. Type in ui.submenuDelay for the name and 0 for the value.

12 ) Restart Firefox.

After those tweaks, Firefox should be significantly faster to use and to browse the Internet.
