Increase Firefox Browser Speed

Tweak to Increase Firefox Browser Speed

Step 1: Go to FireFox -> Add-ons -> remove the Add-ons and Extensions which we hardly use or never use.


Step 2: Type “about:config” in browser and click on Enter.  It will prompt you with a message just check the box and click on “I’ll be careful, I Promise!”

Step 3: In the search box type “browser.display.show_image_placeholders” and change the value to False (Default value is True) (This stops displaying placeholders when images are loading thus increasing the speed)


Step 4: In the search box type “browser.tabs.animate” and change the value to False (Default value is True) (This disables the tabs animation features which increases the tab interface speed)

Step 5: In the search box type “network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server” and change the value to 8 (Default value is 6) (This tweak increases the no. of connections thus increasing the loading speed of huge websites)

Step 6: Right click on the screen and add New -> Boolean then type “config.trim_on_minimize” in the box and the value as True (This final tweak is to reduce the Ram Usage when Firefox is Minimized)
Once all the steps are complete, just restart the Browser and find the improvement in the speed.  The change won’t be too much but it will be lot better than the speed in which you used to browse.
