In general, Firefox itself already has exceeded the performance of IE, but with a little touch and the right settings you can make it 2x faster again in just over five minutes. Follow the tricks below.

1. Enable Pipelining

Normally the browser works by sending a request to the server and wait for a response before proceeding. Pipelining is a more aggressive technique that allows browsers to send multiple requests before receiving any response at the same time to reduce the time needed to download the contents pages. To activate this function type “about: config” in the address box, double-click on “network.http.pipelining” and “network.http.proxy.pipelining” in order to change its value to “true” and then double-click on “network. http.pipelining.maxrequest “and make its value” 8 “.

Keep in mind that some servers do not serve the pipelining. So, there is a possibility if these settings actually worsen the performance. Set back original settings everything is as if indeed there are problems.

2. Fast Render

A large and complex sites can take some time to download. Firefox does not want to make you wait, so with the default settings Firefox will instantly display what he has received every 0.12 seconds. Although this makes the browser seems faster, rendering is done continuously repeated to increase the total time required to display this page, you can reduce the number of re-rendering to improve performance.


Type “about: config” and press [ENTER], then right click on the main view and then select “New> Integer”. Type “content.notify.interval” as your preference name, click “ok”, enter “500 000″ (500 thousand) and click “ok” again.

Right-click again on view and select “New> Boolean”. This time create a value called “content.notify.ontimer” and set to “True” to complete your task.

3. Faster Loading

If you do not move the mouse or touch the keyboard for 0.75 seconds, Firefox will go into mode “low frequency interrupt”, which means its interface becomes less responsive but can load pages faster.

Type “about: config” and press [Enter], right click on the view and select “New> Integer”. Type “content.switch.threshold”, click “ok”, enter “250 000″ (second quarter) and click “ok” to complete.

4. No Interruptions

You can do step further by telling Firefox to completely ignore the user interface events to finish the page downloaded. It is rather extreme way because Firefox could become unresponsive for some time, but it never hurts to try if the effect is positive for you.

Type “about: config”, press [ENTER] and right click, select “New> Boolean”. Type “content.interrupt.parsing”, click “ok”, set the value to “False” and click “ok”.

5. Flash Block

There is a flash animation that interfere everywhere, appearing overwrite the contents of Web pages you want to read or see and slow down browsing. Fortunately there are easy solutions. Install the extension “Flashblock” (flashblock.mozdev.org) and he will block all Flash widgets when loading the site to be displayed more quickly. If you find the look you want to see Flash simply click on the place to download it and see how it looks normally.

6. Increase the Cache Size

When surfing Firefox will save the images and scripts in the local cache memory where you can speed up data collection if visiting the same site again. If you have a large RAM (2GB or more), leave Firefox running longer so re-visit the site pages will be faster, especially with a large cache.

Type “about: config” and press [ENTER], then right click and select “New> Integer”. Type “browser.cache.memory.capacity”, click “ok”, enter “65 536″ and click “ok”, then “restart” the browser cache to get new and bigger.

7. Enable TraceMonkey

TraceMonkey is Mozilla’s new JavaScript engine that is super fast, within a few benchmark score even 40 times larger than the current version. Tracemonkey maybe now it is true in the development stage and still a bit buggy, but if you object to using the software in the development stage, get the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/ ). The first beta version of Firefox 3.1 is also scheduled to be released this month also.

Type “about: config” in the address box and press [ENTER]. Type “JIT” in the filter box, then double click “javascript.options.jit.chrome” and “javascript.options.jit.content” to change its value to “true”. Congratulations, you now have to use the latest Firefox JavaScript engine.

8. Compress data

If you have a slow Internet connection, you may feel that Firefox is not performing well. That’s not entirely true! Toonel.net and install Java applications will take over your Internet traffic through its own servers. All data through servers Toonel then compressed so the data need to download the browser a little more.

In fact, Toonel also can compress JPEG images, but it certainly contributed to the decline in image quality. Useful tips to cut the amount of data that is sent, useful if you have limited Internet account per month or when using a slow Internet connection such as GPRS.
