No tips are there. fasterfox is a software with someof these tips included but not all.

Did some investigation on the author's claims, and ended up not modifying any of my configuration properties.
1.) set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.http.proxy.pipelining. May not be supported by all HTTP/1.1 servers, and has no effect if you're not using a proxy. 2.) set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Network.dns.disableIPv6 . OSX and OS/2 should set this to true (which is the default). Other operating systems shouldn't have the same problem. From the KB, "If your OS or ISP does not support IPv6, there is no reason to have this preference set to false. Some suggest that setting this preference to true on any OS will speed up connections, though this is probably a placebo effect." 3.) Set content.notify.interval to 750000. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Content.notify.interval. This value is 120,000 by default. "Lowering the interval will lower the perceived page loading time but increase the total loading time, especially on slower connections. Values below 100,000 have a significant impact on performance and are not recommended." 4.) Set content.switch.treshold to 750000. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Content.switch.threshold. This is the internal default value. The property does not exist by default, but creating the property and setting it to this will have no effect. 5.) Set browser.cache.memory.capacity to 65536. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.memory.capacity. This is an interesting property. After leaving firefox open for long periods of time, I frequently find my memory usage up to 150 - 220 MB, which is ridiculous. It's probably not the cache, probably just good old fashioned leaks, but an interesting avenue to investigate. | |
