Firefox SPEED Tweaks
Reduce the amount of RAM Firefox uses for its cache feature
Increase the Speed at Which Firefox loads pages
This little hack will drop Firefox?s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:
- Type ?about:config? (no quotes) in the adress bar in the browser.
- Find ?browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer?
- Set it?s value to ?0?;(Zero)
Increase the Speed at Which Firefox loads pages
- 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.) - 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. - 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 Stringnetwork.dns.disableIPv6: set ?false?
?content.notify.backoffcount?: set ?5?; (Five)
?plugin.expose_full_path?: set ?true?.
?ui.submenuDelay?: set ?0; (zero)
This little hack will drop Firefox?s RAM usage down to 10 Mb when minimized:

- Right Click in the page and select New -> Boolean.
- In the box that pops up enter ?config.trim_on_minimize?. Press Enter.
- Now select True and then press Enter.
- Restart Firefox.
