The configuration settings of Mozilla opens up. Here,

we have to select some settings, change them of their
default values to enter new ones which prove to boost
up the speed of Firefox. Firstly select
network.http.max-connections-per-server. Right
click on this setting and choose to Modify.

The modification box opens up prompting you to enter

a new value for the setting. Put 32 as the new value
and click OK. The value for the setting
network.http.max-connections-per-server has been
changed.
Now select the following settings one by one to modify

them by inserting the following values mentioned for
each of the settings to be modified. The process of
modifying these settings is the same as the previous
one.
network.http.max-persistent-connectionsper-proxy :> 16.
network.http.max-connections :> 64.
network.http.max-persistent-connectionsper-server :> 10.
network.http.pipelining :> true [Right click
and select Toggle to change status].
network.http.max-persistent-connectionsper-proxy >8.
network.http.proxy.pipelining > true.
network.http.request.timeout > 300 (if it is not
in the list you can do this creating new integer

preference).
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests :> 200

network.http.request.max-start-delay :> 0
network.http.proxy.pipelining :> true
network.http.proxy.version :> 1.0
The default values of the above mentioned settings
appear in bold showing that they have been changed
with new values inserted by the user.

Now, how about reducing the time Firefox takes to act

on an information after it receives one. This would
definitely speed up the action and rendering process
of Firefox. To achieve this, right-click on an empty
area in the about:config tab. Select New>Integer to
create a new settings file.
Name it as nglayout.initialpaint.delay.
Set its value as o. This value signifies the time Firefox
4/3/2015 11:25 AM

takes to start its action on reception of data. Click OK

to create the new integer.
Free up Memory in Firefox to boost the

speed
The newer versions of Firefox allocate memory
separately for the add-ons so that the browser does
not crash if any plugin or add-on stops responding.
The process, plugin-container.exe is responsible for
the extra memory allocation. Which may be causing
the slow browsing. It is better to disable the plugincontainer.exe to free up the extra memory.
How to Permanently Disable Plugincontainer.exe Process

All the workaround has been described below in
step-by-step.
1. Type about:config at the browser address bar and
press Enter.
2. Click on I will be careful, I promise.
3. Type dom.ipc in the filter bar and you will be
finding the entries listed below.

4. Now you have to change the Boolean values except

the last one. To do that right-click on each entries and
click Toggle. This will toggle the value from True to
False and vice-versa.
5. Change the vale of dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to

false. You may also toggle all the boolean values to
false. After changing the values as directed above the
entries should look like this:
That is, all of the boolean values will be False.

You are done! Now close Firefox and restart it. Check
the task manager by pressing Alt + Ctrl + Del. It
should not show the plugin-container.exe process
there.
Exit and restart Firefox. Experience a never before
surfing and browsing speed in Mozilla Firefox. Boosted
by some merely simple tweaks, the increased speed of
Firefox clearly helps the user to utilize his time more
effectively.
Verdict
In an age where the process of communication
4/3/2015 11:25 AM

involves broadband and 3G technologies, the prime

need of the hour seems to be speeding up this
communication process. The Web, among all other
data communication processes, has become the most
participating feature in realizing this goal. With every
new version of internet browsers, be it IE8 or Mozilla
Firefox. Mozilla Firefox has emerged out of the
shadows of IE8 to become its potentially challenging
rival. Because of its browsing and surfing speed,
Firefox has become the browser that is used globally
by users.
Increasing the speed of Mozilla Firefox not only takes
you to a new level of browsing experience, but also
contributes to the development of technology and
data communication as a whole.
