Make Firefox run up to 4 times faster
Firefox is an excellent and already fast browser but can be made to run up to 4 times faster – I kid you not.
If you are using Internet Explorer … please change to Firefox now.
Also if you are using an old version you should upgrade. Download here.
Adjust your configurations
These settings are for those that are browsing a lot, have broadband
and are using many tabs. These are my recommended settings, feel of
course free to adjust as you see fit for you.
Open a new tab and write about:config in the URL window.
Copy and paste the Preference Names below in the filter field and then double click on the name. Values of false will then change to true and vice versa. If it is a number field you will need to insert the new number.
browser.history_expire_days_min change to 10 (default: 90)
Number of days to keep browser history.
browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers change to 1 (default: -1)
Limits the maximum number of pages stored in memory in such a way
that they don’t have to be re-parsed when pressing Back and Forward. If
you, like me, are not using the Back and Forward buttons that much but
rather tabs then I see no reason for Firefox to keep a lot of memory
with this.

network.http.max-connections change to 100 (default: 30)
network.http.max-connections-per-server change to 20 (default: 15)
Same as above but per server. Should not be set higher than 20. Read more.
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server change to 8 (default: 6)
network.http.pipelining change to true (default: false)
network.http.proxy.pipelining change to true (default: false)
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests change to 8 (default: 4)
network.http.request.max-start-delay change to 0 (default: 10)
network.prefetch-next change to false (default: true)
Configurations that has to be created
To create a new configuration just right click on a white space and click new.
config.trim_on_minimize as new boolean with value of true
nglayout.initialpaint.delay create as new integer with value of 100 (default: 250)
Some other configuration settings that are useful
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth change to 70 (default 100)
You also often have a lot of tabs open? This setting will decrease
the minimum width of the tab so that more fits in before you need to
scroll to see more tabs.
Read more.
Check for problematic extensions
Extensions can leak memory and have a negative effect on the performance of Firefox.
Block Flash
If you want you can also block flash as flash is “just evil”. Just install the FlashBlock extension. And if there is any flash that you anyway want to see just click the button and it will start.
Then, restart Firefox and experience how much faster it is.

Number of days to keep browser history.
This helps performance by reducing the amount of information that must be kept in memory while the browser is running.Read more.

network.http.max-connections change to 100 (default: 30)

Same as above but per server. Should not be set higher than 20. Read more.
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server change to 8 (default: 6)
This preference takes values between 1 and 255 inclusive,
directly corresponding to the maximum number of HTTP keep-alive
connections the application can have open at once to a single server.
It is, however, considered poor etiquette to make tooRead more.
many connections to a server and may lead to you being banned from that
server. Anything above 10 is excessive.
network.http.pipelining change to true (default: false)
In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before anyRead more.
responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces
network load and can reduce page loading times over high-latency
connections, but not all servers support it.

network.prefetch-next change to false (default: true)

that certain pages are likely to be visited, so the browser downloads
them immediately so they can be displayed immediately when the user
requests it. This preference controls whether link prefetching is
enabled.

config.trim_on_minimize as new boolean with value of true
Allow Windows to swap out memory when the program is minimized.Read more.
