How to Speed Up Firefox Using the About:Config Menu
Firefox's hidden advanced menu gives you several ways to tweak the way it works under the hood. Here are a set of settings to change to get it to browse faster than ever. Step 1: Go to About:Config
Go to the URL bar and enter about:config. If you want to use a more "graphical interface" use a Firefox GUI config. Step 2: Now Search and Change These Following Values:
browser.display.show_image_placeholders = false browser.tabs.animate = false network.prefetch-next = true network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 8 network.http.pipelining = true ui.submenuDelay = 0 network.dns.disableIPv6 = true
Step 3: Now Right Click, Select New Then Select the Options Accordingly.
Create integer -> Name: nglayout.initialpaint.delay -> value: 0 Create integer -> Name: content.notify.backoffcount -> value: 5 Step 4: Disable Useless Extensions:
Goto tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions -> Disable all the extensions you don't use. Step 5: Disable Useless Plugins:
Goto tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins -> Disable all the extensions you don't use. For example i disabled the following:
Google Updates Itunes application Detector Java platform SE update 7 Microsoft DRM Windows Media Player Plugin Windows Presentation Foundation
Be careful when disabling plugins as some functionality of the browser may be disabled. |
