Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello guys :)

Here you will find the most perfect trick's about firefox!

Before you start open your firefox and press "type about:config"  in the address bar.

(Without ")

 

Disable Antivirus Scanning

 

In your Firefox, type about:config in the address bar.

his is mainly for Windows users. By default, Firefox automatically scan the downloaded file with the default anti-virus application to make sure it is free of virus. If you download a big file, it could take a long time for the whole scanning process to complete. To increase the performance of the browser, you might want to consider disabling the anti-virus scanning via the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone key.

 

Config name: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone

Default: True

Modified value: False (if you want to disable it)

 

Lower The Physical Memory Used When Minimized

 

This tweak is mainly for Windows users. When you minimize Firefox, it will send Firefox to your virtual memory and free up your physical memory for other programs to use. Firefox will reduce its physical memory usage, when minimized, to approximately 10MB (give or take some) and when you maximize Firefox it will take back the memory that it needs.

 

The preference name does not exist and needs to be created.

 

Right click on the background and select New->Boolean.

 

Enter the name when prompted: config.trim_on_minimize

Enter the values: True

 

Speed up your Firefox

 

Several tweaks required for this

 

Config name: network.http.pipelining

Default: False

Modified value: True

 

Config name: network.http.proxy.pipelining

Default: False

Modified value: True

 

Config name: network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Default: 4

Modified value: any value higher than 4, but not more than 8

 

Config name: network.http.max-connections

Default: 30

Modified value: 96

 

Config name: network.http.max-connections-per-server

Default: 15

Modified value: 32

 

Increase/Decrease the A m o u n t of Disk Cache

 

When a page is loaded, Firefox will cache it into the hard disk so that it doesn’t need to be download again for redisplaying. The bigger the storage size you cater for Firefox, the more pages it can cache.

 

Before you increase the disk cache size, make sure that browser.cache.disk.enabled browser.cache.disk.enable is set to True.

 

Config name: browser.cache.disk.capacity

Default: 50000 (in KB)

Modified value:

 

0 – disable disk caching

any value lower than 50000 reduces the disk cache

any value higher than 50000 increases the disk cache.

 

Autofill Address in URL Bar

 

Other than the smart location feature, you can also get your URL bar to autofill the address as you type the URL.

 

Config name: browser.urlbar.autofill

Default: False

Modified value: True (Have Firefox autofill the address as you type in the URL bar)

 

Disable Delay Time When Installing Add-on

 

Everytime you wanted to install a Firefox add-on, you will have to wait for several secs before the actual installation starts. If you are tired of waiting, you can turn the function security.dialog_enable_delay off so that the installation will start immediately upon clicking.

 

Config name: security.dialog_enable_delay

Default: 2000 (in msec)

Modified value:

 

0 – start installation immediately

any other value (in msec)
