HOWTO Speed up your Firefox
My firefox browser became very slow from yestersday after I restart the wireless router remotely( this might not be the true cause though).
After some googling research, I found there are some trick to speed up firefox:
In the address bar of firefox, type " about:config", then in the pop up window, set the varibles
as following:
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled = true
network.dns.disableIPv6 = true
network.http.max-connections 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6
network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 32
Restart firefox and feel the difference!!
PS: All personal configuration, history record and favorites of firefox browser are
located in ~/.mozilla
