How to Increase Your Mozilla Firefox Browsing Speed

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux, coordinated by Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation. Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine to render web pages, which implements current and anticipated web standards. Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform browser, providing support for various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Although not officially released for certain operating systems, the freely available source code works for many other operating systems, including FreeBSD,OS/2, Solaris, SkyOS, BeOS and more recently, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.

Exit your Mozilla Firefox and Reopen it.  Since you are broadband, it shouldn’t have to wait. Now you should notice you are loading pages MUCH faster now! Some more Tweaks Enable the spellchecker for inputfields and textareas (default is textareas only) layout.spellcheckDefault=2 Open lastfm://-links directly in amarok network.protocol-handler.app.lastfm=amarok network.protocol-handler.external.lastfm=true Firefox Memory Leak Fix Open a new tab. Type ” about:config ” without quotes into the address bar and hit enter/click Go. Right-click anywhere, select New, then Integer. In the dialog prompt that appears, type: browser.cache.memory.capacity Click OK. Another dialog prompt will appear. This is where you decide how much memory to allocate to Firefox. This depends on how much RAM your computer has, but generally you don’t want to allocate too little (under 8MB), but if you allocate too much, you might as well not do this. A good recommended setting is 16MB. If you want 16MB, enter this value into the dialog prompt: 16384 (Why 16384 instead of 16000? Because computers use base-12 counting. Thus 16 megabytes = 16384 bytes. Likewise, if you want to double that and allocate 32MB, you’d enter 32768.) Click OK to close the dialog box, then close all instances of Firefox and restart. If your Firefox still uses the same amount of memory, give it a few minutes and it should slowly clear up. If that fails, try a system reboot. Now your Firefox will now be 3 — 30 times faster in loading pages. Hope this info helps? feel free to share this post with your friends using the Share/Like buttons.
