Mozila Firefox Tips

Speed up Mozilla Firefox about 3-30x Faster !!
1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scrolldown and look for the following entries:network.http.pipeliningnetwork.http.proxy.pipeliningnetwork.http.pipelining.maxrequestsNormally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which reallyspeeds up page loading.2. Alter the entries as follows:Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. Thismeans it will make 30 requests at once.3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now.

Hacking of Firefox Cache !!
This hack deals with the memory Firefox uses as cache. In the default setting, Firefox will adjust the cache size to fit however many pages you have open. While this is useful, if you tend to only have a few pages open at a time, you can manually reduce the setting to a specified amount at the cost of reducing performance when Firefox runs out of cache. To implement this hack, follow these steps.1. With Firefox up and running, type about:config and hit enter.2. Right click on the new page and select New -> Integer.3. In the pop-up window, type in “browser.cache.memory.capacity”. In the following pop-up window, specify how many Kb of ram you want to dedicate to the cache, I selected 32768(32Mb). Take a number 16Mb and 64Mb, anything lower and performance will suffer, anything higher is excessive. 4. Restart your browser

Mouse Shortcuts
This is a list of the most common mouse shortcuts in Firefox, and the equivalents in Internet Explorer and Opera. The shortcuts are for Windows, but most of the Firefox shortcuts should work in Linux too..1: A Middle-click on a tab closes it on Windows by default. However, in Linux it pastes whatever is currently in the Clipboard and visits that site (or performs a search). This can be changed by setting the middlemouse.contentLoadURL pref to either true (for the Content Load URL feature) or false (for closing the tab).2: By default, Ctrl+Left-click opens the link in a background tab (which will keep you navigating on the page you clicked the link on) and Shift+Ctrl+Left-click opens the link in a foreground tab. In order to reverse this behavior, select Tools > Options..., click on Tabs and check the When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately option.

Mozilla Firefox Tips
1.Open tabs with one click:Instead of right-clicking a link and choosing Open Link in New Tab, click a link with your mouse's scroll-wheel button to open it in a new tab. You can also click that tab with your scroll wheel to close it. (You may have to disable any function assigned to your click wheel for this to work, however.) 2.One-click combosDon't have a scroll wheel? Hold down Ctrl while left-clicking a link to open a URL in a new tab, or hold Shift and left-click to open a URL in a new window. 3.More on AutocompleteTo eliminate your AutoComplete history in Firefox, go to Tools > Options > Privacy. In the Saved Form Information area, click the Clear button. To disable this feature entirely, click on the plus symbol next to the Saved Form Information area and uncheck "Save information I enter in web page forms." 4.Keep tabs on your tabsYou can control how new tabs open in Firefox in one of three ways: Open the page in a new window, open the page in a new tab in the front window, or replace the current page in the front window. Click the Advanced section of the Options window to customise it to your liking. 5.Smooth sailingPut an end to jerky document scrolling by enabling Firefox's "Use smooth scrolling" feature in the Advanced section of the Options window. 6.Search in shorthandType a word in the address bar, then hit Ctrl+Enter to automatically add http://www and .com to the beginning and end, respectively, of the word. (Ctrl+Shift+Enter adds .org, and Shift+Enter adds .net.) 7.Zoom in and outHit Ctrl and the plus sign to increase text size on your current Web page or Ctrl and the minus to decrease it. To restore the original size, hit Ctrl+0. 8.Open a tabTo open a particular tab in Firefox, hit Ctrl+1 through Ctrl+9. Tabs aren't numbered, though, so you'll have to physically count them. 9.Use live bookmarksGet the latest headlines from your favourite RSS news sites and blogs. Just click the square, bright-orange icon in the bottom right corner of your browser and click "OK to save as bookmark." The Live Bookmark will now function as your RSS aggregator.

Clean up firefox menus
Anyone who uses firefox installs extensions. The trouble with extension developers is that each one thinks his/her addon is the most important and needs to have a right click option. Eventually you have so many items in your right click it’s near impossible to find a copy or paste option. Also a lot of menu items like the “send this page”, etc, are often not required. Fortunately, there is an easy way to clean things up.As with everything else in firefox, this is accomplished by installing an extension. In this case, it’s the Menu Editor extension.All the context menus are shown, and are selectable with the dropdown menu. Then you can show or hide any of the menu items or even add separators to make more sense.Why edit your menus? Usability, primarily. If you want to copy the path of an image, and you right click on it, you’re given hundreds of options to stumble or digg or adblock it, when there are other methods to do those actions, and you seldom use the right click one.Spend a few minutes cleaning your menus out, and you’ll see a huge difference.

Mozilla Firefox, Speed it up!!!!
First of all open Firefox program and then in the URL barType “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connectionsDouble Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.Code:browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – truenetwork.http.max-connections – 48network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4network.http.pipelining – truenetwork.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100network.http.proxy.pipelining – truenetwork.http.request.timeout – 300One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
