[TUT] How to make Mozilla Firefox faster - [ Process.xSs ] - Jun 15, 2009

Hello everyone. I will show you today how to make mozilla firefox faster than it already has.


If you make any mistake at the modifications I could not be regarded as responsible of your act !!!


* 1st: We will accelerate the start of firefox :

Right click on you firefox shortcut ( it works just on the shortcut ) and go to properties, after , on target, add this " /Prefetch:1 " at the end ( you will have something like this "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1 " ) dont forget the space before /Prefetch:1


* 2nd: We will increase the speed of loading pages :

In the address bar of Firefox, type " about: config " then press enter. After search using filter the following values :
- network.dns.disableIPv6
- network.http.pipelining
- network.http.proxy.pipelining
- network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

and by double clicking on values :

- set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true" ,
- set “network.http.pipelining” to “true” ,
- Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true” and ,
- Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 9 ( this means it will make 9 requests at once) you can make 30 or 100, but the network administrators do not like it too )


* 3rd: Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″ ( this value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.)


* 4th: We will create values to optimize the rendering and loading of pages:

- Right-click anywhere and select New-> Channel. Name it "content.notify.backoffcount" and set it's value to "five 5"

- Right-click anywhere and select New-> Channel. Name it "ui.submenuDelay" and set it's value to " 0"

- Search the channel named "plugin.expose_full_path" and set it to "true"


* 5th: The last one , we wxill disble caching of recent pages visited:

- search the channel named " browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers" and set it to "0"

- Right-click anywhere and select New-> Channel. Name it "browser.cache.memory.capacity" and set it's value to "0"


And then, restart Firefox to take into account the new settings.

I hope my tutorial will be quite clear and you like it 👍 .
Is my first so be indulgent.
I do not know if I'm in the right section so excuse me if I'm wrong.

Goodbye everyone and remember that firefox is the best browser at this time ✌ .

It's safe to do.
Although http://howto.helpero.com/howto/Speed-Up-Firefox_31.html has more tips.

All changes said previously have already done by defaut on your computer ? did you ever do it one day? If you never make this modification i don't know if it's normal but it's good for you 😁 Porbably one day you have done an optimization of your firefox or something like this, i really don't know 😧

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but i'm having a little problem since i followed this tutorial (and no, i didn't make any mistakes). But now i find that Firefox doesn't save my tabs anymore, even though i have set it to do so after i close multiple tabs. So now, when i open Firefox it just loads one tab set to the default page, and not the tabs i saved before i closed it.
If i were to uninstall Firefox and re-install it again, will that fix it?
Any tips? Advice? Thanks
