Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for its cache feature
Try this:
1) Type about:config (no quotes) in the address bar in the browser.
2) Find browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
3) Set its value to 0;(Zero)
Increase the Speed in Which Firefox loads pages
1) Type about:config into the address bar and hit Enter. (Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.)
2) Alter the entries as follows:
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to some number like 10.
3) Lastly, right-**** anywhere and select New->Integer. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0;.(Zero)
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. If youre using a broadband connection youll load pages faster now.
Optionally (for even faster web browsing) here are some more options for your about:config (you might have to create some of these entries by Right **** > New >Interger or String
network.dns.disableIPv6: set false
content.notify.backoffcount: set 5; (Five)
ui.****: set 0; (Zero)
Reduce RAM usage to 10mb when Firefox is minimized
This little hack will drop Firefoxs RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:
1) Open Firefox and go to the Address Bar. Type in about:config and then press Enter.
2) Right **** in the page and select New -> Boolean.
3) In the box that pops up enter config.trim_on_minimize. Press Enter.
4) Now select True and then press Enter.
5) Restart Firefox.
These simple tweaks will make your web browsing with Mozilla Firefox at least twice as fast and it's a pretty simple thing anybody can do.
