Speed up your mozilla browser

Open up Mozilla Firefox and in the address bar type (without quotes), "about:config" and hit enter.

It should bring up a page of strings, Intergers, and Boolean settings.

Change these settings first - no matter what (common to all configurations):

Code:
network.http.pipelining, true
network.http.proxy.pipelining, true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, 8
content.notify.backoffcount, 5
plugin.expose_full_path, true
ui.submenuDelay, 0


Change these settings if you have a fast computer, fast connection:
Code:
content.interrupt.parsing, true
content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 0
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536


Change these settings if you have a fast computer, slower connection:
Code:
content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 0
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536


Change these settings if you have a fast computer, slow internet connection:
Code:
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled, true
content.interrupt.parsing, true
content.max.tokenizing.time, 3000000
content.maxtextrun, 8191
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
network.http.max-connections, 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 4
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 0
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536


Change these settings if you have a slow computer, fast internet connection:

content.notify.backoffcount, 5
content.notify.interval, 1000000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 1000000

nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 1000
network.http.max-connections, 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, 8
dom.disable_window_status_change, true


Change these settings if you have a slow computer, slow connection:
Code:
content.max.tokenizing.time, 2250000
content.notify.interval, 750000
content.notify.ontimer, true
content.switch.threshold, 750000
nglayout.initialpaint.delay, 750
network.http.max-connections, 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server, 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, 4
dom.disable_window_status_change, true


apply these changes accordingly and see the result.
