CyberWarez - Internet & Computer Tips

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. Enjoy and let us know if these steps helped you!

There were tons of hacks out there that Firefox has been covered to death, but we recently took some time to run and a comparison side by side with a pair of identical computers from the store, we were about. What have we done? You can effectively double your Internet speed if you are currently on a broadband connection if you just run a few simple changes. We have a series of three. It is not too much for you, right? Now, let's get started.

Basically, what they found is that Firefox tends to eat plenty of RAM in exchange for faster launching and handling of the browser. It is a steep trade-off, and for those of us with tons of RAM and a broadband connection usually finish up seeing no difference or sometimes, even slower performance than if these restrictions weren't enabled by default. Here's how to take them off and harness the full power of Firefox:



**Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for it’s 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 it’s 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.

This means it will make 10 requests at once.

3) Lastly, right-click 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 you’re using a broadband connection you’ll 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 Click  New Interger or String

“network.dns.disableIPv6”: set “false”
“content.notify.backoffcount”: set “5”; (Five)
“ui.submenuDelay”: set “0”; (Zero)


**Reduce RAM usage to 10mb when Firefox is minimized**

This little hack will drop Firefox’s 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 Click 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 once as quick  it is a simple thing someone can do. Enjoy  let us know if these steps helped you!
