Mozilla Firefox is one of the largest used browsers in the world. Adding to its ever increasing number is the fact that its the most stable and one of the fastest browsers in the world. Here’s how you can speed up your browser and notice the difference.

Here are some of the amazing tricks that I think will considerably increase your Mozilla Firefox speed (Each trick per point):

1. Open Mozilla Firefox and type about:config in the address bar. Hit Enter. If you get a warranty warning, just click I’ll be careful, I promise! and move on. Now in the Filter bar just below the tabs, click the space and type  network.http.pipelining. Make sure the value is set to true in the page displayed. Hit Enter.

2. Next trick. Open the same page and type network.http.proxy.pipelining in the Filter bar. Set the Value to 8 and then hit enter.

3. Type network.dns.disableIPv6 and set the value to true. Hit Enter. This enables Mozilla to recover IPv6 DNS addresses.

4. Mozilla also has an option of displaying the page upto the point it has been downloaded. Type about:config in the address bar and hit enter. Now right click anywhere in the address bar and select New and then Integer. Type content.max.tokenizing.time and the click OK. Enter the value as 2250000 and click ok.

5. Usually, Mozilla apps wait for a little time before they start displaying the page. It is an effective way but sometimes you wished it would load faster. As done in the previous trick, right click anywhere in the about:config address area and click New > Integer. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the dialog box which has just popped up and then click OK. Enter 0 as the value and click OK. Thats it! Your done.

Now close and restart your Mozilla Firefox to experience the speed increase. Trust me, it should be noticeable even for a noob if he/she has followed the instructions closely. If you got anymore up your sleeve, let us know in the comments section.

NOTE: I’d suggest you backup your profile before you start messing with config.
