4 simple way to speed up Firefox browser?

Method 1. Using the new HTTP cache to get rid of user interface freezing issues

This technique is not a default setting in the browser. So we have mentioned the steps to get it done right here:

1. Put the message “about:config” in the address bar of Mozilla Firefox and then press enter.

Look for “browser.cache.use_new_backend” flag and double click on it

Change the value from 0 to 1 to enable the new HTTP cache. You can undo this by changing it back to 0

Close about:config and go ahead with your internet browsing session. You do not have to restart the browser to implement the change in the settings

Method 2: Increase the number of pipelining requests

1. Set the tab “http.pipelining” to true status
2. Set the tab “http.proxy.pipelining” to true status
3. Set the tab “http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some integral number (let’s say 5).
4. Then set “http.pipelining.ss” to true

This change in the settings will make the maximum pipelining requests limit set to 5.

Method 3: Disable/Click to play Flash Content add-on

Many sites have videos in them which start playing whenever you visit their site; irrespective of your choice. This makes browsing sessions slow as it takes a lot of time to load such sites. So in order to get rid of this issue, follow the below-mentioned steps to disable flash content or to set it to click-to-play so that videos start playing only when you click on them:

1. Click on Add-ons option from the Firefox main menu
2. Look up for “Shockwave Flash” in the list of Plugins
3. Select “Ask to Activate” from the drop down menu present just next to it.

Method 4: Refresh Firefox

Sometimes due to the presence of several add-ons and third party services, the browser goes into a lackadaisical mode. You can try refreshing Firefox to get rid of these third party services and thus speed up Firefox. Type “about:support” in the address bar and then click on “Refresh Firefox” tab and then click on confirm to refresh the browser.

We hope the above-mentioned steps have helped you in speeding up Firefox. Else you can also try to disable Firefox animations and removing unwanted add-ons to speed up Mozilla.
