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.

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.

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.
