Many people think that the speed of downloading the Internet pages depends only on the speed of the Internet channel. This is not true.
The speed of loading pages depends on the browser, on its settings. With the settings you can do so speed Up Firefox, that he will fly. Now I'll tell you about that, how to configure Mozilla FireFox so that sites are loaded much faster, and also affect some other settings that make Firefox more convenient.
So. At first…

How to speed up Mozilla Firefox

This is such a filter even, not search. Let's begin now directly firefox acceleration.

- We type in the search string parameters (you can just copy and paste the name of the parameter) network.http.pipeliningand change (by clicking on this parameter twice with the left mouse button) the value true.
- The next change is the parameter - network.http.proxy.pipelining, which also change the value on true.
- Similarly, we change the parameter network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, only to him we enter value 32
- Then we do the following: (right-clicking the mouse shows the list from which we select Create - Integer) and create an entire parameter with the name nglayout.initialpaint.delay and value 0 .
- Next we find the parameter network.dns.disableIPv6 and change its value false on True
- The following changes: content.notify.backoffcount (if it's not there, then create (right mouse button - Create – Integer5.
- Approximately, too, do with ui.submenuDelay (if it does not exist, we also create it as described above, only it is assigned 0 .
- Well, lastly, the parameter plugin.expose_full_path (right mouse button - Create - Logical)) give the value a value true
Now, what does each changed parameter do
In the HTTP version 1.1 protocol, there is an option within one
TCP connections send multiple requests to the web server. Given that
pages of today's sites usually contain a large number of
images and other objects, the time to establish a TCP connection (for each object) plays a rather large role. Just this opportunity we used to speed up loading pages, using the appropriate settings:
Context, which in most cases will push the lambda user, embarrassed, give up. Now the application can no longer change this parameter on its own. In a statement, Redmond said that it was open to change. During the upgrade, the user has the choice to define the default applications, including the web browser. After the upgrade, they can easily determine the default browser of their choice.
Will use your history storage settings
Sometimes we see great progress, or the products respect the consumers and their choices. For more information on this topic, read the article's recovery session. Saving files to: If selected, the downloaded files are automatically saved to the default folder. Open new windows in a new tab: this option determines whether to open links from other applications or web pages that require opening a new window in a new window or on a new tab in the last tab open window. Even if you decide to open links to new tabs, this preference will be ignored, and a new window will be opened if the author of the page requests a new window with a certain size. warn about problems with those pages for which you need a window with certain sizes for a correct view.
- Start downloading files. go to the tab.
- Change the performance settings.
- network.http.version - 1.1, network.http.keep-alive - true.These values are set by default and allow Firefox to be used
HTTP version 1.1, including the ability to make multiple requests in
connection. - network.http.pipelining - true, network.http.proxy.pipelining - true.
These parameters make it possible to send multiple requests to a connection without waiting for the server to respond. - network.http.pipelining.maxrequests - 32. This value specifies the maximum number of requests that can be sent in the connection, from 1 before 32 . Specify a value more 32 it's pointless.
- nglayout.initialpaint.delay - 0. Well, this parameter reduces to zero the delay before drawing (rendering) the information received from the web server, which allows you to see the requested page a little faster.
The network.dns.disableIPv6 parameter set to "false" disables the IPv6 DNS lookup, because it is not used in Russian networks and increases the overall page load time. - Parameter network.dns.disableIPv6, set to "false", disables the IPv6 DNS search, as it is not used in Russian networks and increases the total page load time.
- Parameter content.notify.backoffcount indicates the number of initialized re-processing of the web page based on the timer. After this number of re-treatments, the web page will be re-processed only if the calculation of the placement of large parts of the web page is completed. If the value is 1, initialization will not be performed. It is recommended to set the value to 5, since it is optimal between the adequate output of what has already been loaded and the overall download speed.
- Parameter ui.submenuDelay indicates the length of the pause before the submenu is displayed. The default value is 0, meaning it is not present and the page loads immediately, and the user does not wait for loading other page elements.
- Parameter plugin.expose_full_path with the value true sets the full path to the installed plugins, not just their name.
Useful settings for Mozilla Firefox
Here I will give a few settings that will make firefox browser more convenient for surfing the Internet.
This option can speed up the download of the browser if you restore multiple tabs. Take the new tabs opened from the link in the foreground: when you click the middle mouse button on the link, the page opens in a new tab. This page will not be displayed, but will be loaded on the map not foreground. Select this option to download and view the page directly on the foreground tab. If you check this option, you will see a message of another preview for each current card. If you uncheck this box, you will see the following options for the settings: use hardware acceleration, if available: this option will, if possible, use the processor graphics card of your computer instead of a central disk to display content based on massive use of graphics such as video or games that frees up resources that can be used to accelerate other applications. This check box is selected by default, but this function is not always available for all video cards. The maximum recommended number is 4, but can be increased to.
- Other open tabs will be loaded when you click on them.
- Use default settings: this check box is selected by default.
- Those who want the tabs to be saved when exiting the browser and recovered when the user launches the computer for the next time, change the value browser.showQuitWarning from false on true double click of the left mouse button.
- If you do not like the dotted frame that appears around the links and form elements when you click on them, then in the parameter browser.display.focus_ring_width expose (by clicking on the line of this parameter twice with the left mouse button) the value 0 (zero).
- To automatically check the spelling of firefox'om in all possible forms, where you write something, we find in the list parameter layout.spellcheckDefault and set to it the value 2 . With a value of 1 (which is the default) spelling is not checked everywhere.
- If you do not like that when you select text with a couple of clicks, and the space that goes after the highlighted text \\ word is captured, then in the parameter layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word set the value false.
- Finally, in order to remove seconds of waiting in the dialog when installing plug-ins or extensions, we assign the parameter security.dialog_enable_delay value is 0.
Perhaps all. For all the changes to take effect, we close the settings page and restart Firefox.
Afterword.
Also there is a plugin FasterFox, which, too accelerates Firefox. To use it or not, it's your business.
In any case, the settings are higher and so.
PS: I also recommend reading the article on. By clicking on the link and reading the publication you will learn how to speed up Firefox not only when you open the pages on the Internet, but also when you start the browser on the computer. I recommend.
Attention. Change of these additional parameters can in some cases lead to abnormal behavior in your browser. Make these changes only if you know what you are doing, or you follow the advice of someone more experienced. It should be noted that the names of preferences are case sensitive, but not search terms. Set up the correct printing of web content.
Clear history settings
Of course, sometimes the strange result of printing a website made you ask yourself: "Why are images and text on such a large scale at once?" In this case, you may have been in a hand-held copy that barely uttered a few comic letters from the original site. For example, if you often print recipes, there is no need to mention their inapplicability as a result of the lack of text. Therefore, if you are not going to spoil your gastronomic experience, you should check the print settings.
