Settings to Speed-up Firefox for Each System Configuration

Guys!

Now I’m telling some settings for different-2 configurations. So try the settings, which is best suited to ur needs. Its not my compilation. I found it from some forum but can’t remember the source. If some one knows the source, please let me know and I’ll add it here.

For fast computers and fast connections, optimal settings.

browser.display.show_image_placeholders: False
network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 32
network.http.max-connections-per-proxy: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 32
network.http.pipelining: True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32
network.http.proxy.pipelining: True

Quick and Dirty Settings

network.http.pipelining: True
network.http.pipelining.firstrequest: True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8
nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0

Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about: plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

network.http.pipelining: True
network.http.proxy.pipelining: True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 8
content.notify.backoffcount: 5
plugin.expose_full_path: True
ui.submenuDelay: 0

Fast Computer Fast Connection

content.interrupt.parsing: True
content.max.tokenizing.time: 2250000
content.notify.interval: 750000
content.notify.ontimer: True
content.switch.threshold: 750000
nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0
network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536

A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. I’m not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

content.max.tokenizing.time: 2250000
content.notify.interval: 750000
content.notify.ontimer: True
content.switch.threshold: 750000
network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0
browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

browser.xul.error_pages.enabled: True
content.interrupt.parsing: True
content.max.tokenizing.time: 3000000
content.maxtextrun: 8191
content.notify.interval: 750000
content.notify.ontimer: True
content.switch.threshold: 750000
network.http.max-connections: 32
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 4
nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 0
browser.cache.memory.capacity: 65536

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

content.max.tokenizing.time: 3000000
content.notify.backoffcount: 5
content.notify.interval: 1000000
content.notify.ontimer: True
content.switch.threshold: 1000000
content.maxtextrun: 4095
nglayout.initialpaint.delay: 1000
network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 8
dom.disable_window_status_change: True

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.
