speed up Firefox >>>
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.
network.http.max-connections = 64
network.http.max-connections-per-server= 20
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server= 10
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 20 or 30 (choose one)
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0
If nglayout.initialpaint.delay doesnt exist, Right click, new integer.

Optional:
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 10
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.version = 1.0

Close mozilla and start it again.

WARNING: These settings make you download sites considerably faster, BUT put a great overload on the sites you go to. This really means nothing other then the fact that anyone else browsing will just go slower and you will absorb their speed.

Next tip:
Disable IPv6 in Firefox for a nice page speed increase!!........ because most if not all of the web is still using IPv4...........and it works in Windows version of Firefox too. yes.gif

Open Firefox.........type about:config (enter)

look for :Network.dns.disableIPv6
Double click to to toggle it to 'true' and then restart Firefox.
You should notice a speed increase.........page to page.
Now make Firefox really work for you...
