ok, here are the steps to make your firefox browser go up to 40 times faster!

firstly, in your address bar, type in about:config

once it opens, it should be something not too dissimilar to this...


browse to the entry network.http.pipelining

double-click on it

next, browse to network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

double-click on it

change the integer to 100

double click on the value network.http.proxy.pipelining once you have found it

double-click on network.dns.disableIPv6

double-click on plugin.expose_full_path

right-click on any value[/url], choose [u]new and then integer


you should then see the following screen:



type nglayout.initialpaint.delay and click ok



enter 0 in value filed and click ok



right-click -> new -> integer

type content.notify.backoffcount as the preference name

type 0 in the value field

create another integer with a name of ui.submenuDelay and a value of 0

create a final integer with a name of browser.cache.memory.capacity. this tells how much ram is allocated to firefox. the best value is 16384

THE LAST THING (yes, you're getting excited!) that you have to do is browse to the browser.cache.disk.capacity

double click on it

change the value to 15000


there you go! done! this should not only speed up your firefox, but it should also speed up your system (less ram allocated to firefox)!

i reccomend that you do not modify any of the other settings unless you know what you are doing.
