1. Enable pipelining Browsers are usually very polite, sending requests to the server and then wait for responses before continuing. Pipelining is a more aggressive technique that lets them send a request before the response is received, often reducing page download time. To activate it, type about: config in the address bar, double click "network.http.pipelining" and "network.http.proxy.pipelining" so that their values set to true, then double click on "network.http. Pipelining. maxrequests "and set this to 8. Keep in mind that some servers do not support pipelining, though, and if you regularly visit a lot of these tweaks and indeed can reduce performance.

Second. Render quickly Large, complex web pages can take a long time to download. Firefox does not want to make you wait, so a default will display what is received every 0.12 seconds so far ("content notify interval".

This time was called the "content.notify.ontimer" and set to True to complete a job.

Faster loading If you have not moved the mouse or touching the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency cut mode, which means antarmukanya become less responsive, but the page load faster.
