How to make Mozilla Firefox 30 times faster

Step 1: Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar where you normally type a web address.


Step 2: Then click the button: "I'll be careful, I promise".


Step 3: In the filter bar below the address bar type network.http.


Step 4: Double-click on "network.http.pipelining" to change the setting from false to true.


Step 5: Double-click on "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to change the value from false to true.


Step 6: Double-click on "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" and change the number to "30". This means it will make 30 requests at once.
(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.)


Step 7: Several lines above network.http.proxy.pipelining you will see
"network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-proxy" and
"network.http.max-persistant-connections-per-server".
Double-click each line and change the value to "8".


Step 8: Two lines up locate and double-click on "network.http.max-connections" and set the value to "48".


Step 9: Now right-click (control-click on a Mac) anywhere in the configuration (the area where you have been making the changes). Select "New" then "Integer".


Step 10: When prompted, copy and paste or type the following into the field provided: nglayout.initialpaint.delay.


Step 11: When prompted to add a value, enter the number "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.


Step 12: Close all windows and tabs. The changes will take effect when you restart Firefox.
