12 Tricks To Increase Your Firefox Speed By A Noticeable Amount
Download the latest version of Firefox from here. Now install the 
Firefox.To speed up Firefox follow these steps.
01. Type about:config in the address 
bar and then press Enter.And you will see a confirmation message like this: Now click I'll be careful, I promise!
02.
 You will see a label there Filter, just next to it type network.http.pipelining.
 Now be sure the value field is set true, if not double-click to set true.Info: HTTP is the application-layer protocol that 
most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can 
be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. 
Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it!
03.
 Go back to the Filter search bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
  Double-click this option and set its value to 8.
04. In the Filter search bar and 
type network.http.proxy.pipelining Once opened double-click
 on it and set it to true.
05. Type network.dns.disableIPv6
 in the filter search bar and set this option to true by double 
clicking on it. Info: In IPv6-capable DNS servers, an IPv4 address 
may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for 
Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is 
introduced.
06. CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING
This 
preference controls if the application will interrupt parsing a page to 
respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.Right-click (Apple 
users ctrl+click) anywhere in the about:config window, select New
 and then Boolean from the pop-up menu. Then:
A. Enter content.interrupt.parsing in 
the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.
B. When prompted to choose the value for the
 new boolean, select true and click OK.
07. Rather than wait until a page 
has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla 
applications will regularly render what has been received to that point.
 This option controls the maximum amount of time the application will be
 unresponsive while rendering pages.Right-click (Apple users ctrl+click)
 anywhere in the about:config window, select New and then Integer
 from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.max.tokenizing.time
 in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter
 a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK.
08. CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL
This
 option sets the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. 
Right-click (Apple users ctrl+click) anywhere in the about:config
 window, select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A.
 Type content.notify.interval in the New integer value 
pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value.
 Enter 750000 and click OK.
09. CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER
A.
 This option sets if to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that
 specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users 
ctrl+click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New
 and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.
B. Type content.notify.ontimer
 in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.
C. You will be prompted to choose the value 
for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.
10. Notify Backoffcount This option
 controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based 
reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow 
once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl+click) 
anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then 
Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.notify.backoffcount
 in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter
 a value. Enter 5 and click OK.
11. CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD
You
 can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing 
is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two 
modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt 
mode. The first one interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for 
greater UI responsiveness during page load.The low frequency interrupt 
mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page 
load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when you move
 the mouse or type on the keyboard and switch back to low frequency mode
 when you had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference 
controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl+click) 
anywhere in the about:config window and select New and 
then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter content.switch.threshold
 in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value.
 Enter 750000 and click OK.
12. NGLAYOUT 
INITIALPAINT DELAY
Mozilla applications render web pages 
incrementally, they display what??™s been received of a page before the 
entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally 
doesn't have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications 
will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This 
preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl+click) 
anywhere in the about:config window and select New and 
then Integer from the pop-up menu.
A. Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay
 in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.
B. You will be prompted to enter a value. 
Enter 0 and click OK.That's it!
Now restart Firefox
 and your browsing as well as downloading speed will be much more 
faster. Good luck.
