Tips for browsing faster in Firefox [part-2]


  • Removing Bandwidth Intensive plugins: There's some Firefox Add-on's brings you the Alexa ranks or google PR ,connecting  with their server to bring you the stats. If you dont need those stats then just disable those plugins. But if you do need some of them not every ones then create a different Firefox Profile with those plugins! This might help u out.

  • Open Firefox write about:config in the address bar and press enter. Then click I'll be careful, I promis! & continue. In the preference name row click on network.http.pipelining.maxrequest and modify it making the value to 500. After that right click on network.http.max-connections and change value to 48.Than right click on network.http.max-connections-per-server and change the value to16. Finally, right click on network.prefetch-next and click on toggle (to change the status to false).Last step is restarting Firefox.
  • Fatching only the page u clicked: Firefox has a built-in feature which is enables by default, pre-downloads the pages behind the links it thinks you might click on. Its kinda ridiculous because how in the world Firefox can anticipate the link you are gonna click!? In my point of view its useless. So here is how to stop this by some easy steps. In the about:config list, filter up your search after ‘network’. Then find network.prefetch-next. It should be set to TRUE by default. Things you need to do is double click it, and it will turn to false. Its done, now Firefox will stop Fatching pages that u might click on. Happy browsing :D !
