Firefox almost as fast as Google Chrome
This week I formatted my PC (Debian obviously xD) and one of the things I like to do is put the point system.
Firefox, Firefox, Firefox ... urgently needed to optimize it, was slow as a pig and even though Google Chrome was dipping some ground (because it is very fast), I am faithful to my obese friend. I decided then to investigate and try to put on a diet. Results: Excellent! Almost as fast as Chrome. Here I give you the recipe.
try to explain only the most salient to not dwell much. To begin go to the address bar and
write about: config , after accepting the warning edit the keys that will indicate below. If the key does not exist, we create it. We can help with

How To Retie Moccasins Laces
filter to locate the keys faster. 
Begin! 1 .- Optimizing TCP connections:
If you have a broadband connection it will make Firefox the advantage to improve their performance when loading pages.
network.http.max-connections = 48 network.http.max-connections-per-server = 16 network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy = 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 4
network.http.pipelining = true network.http.pipelining. maxrequests = 8
- network.http.pipelining.ssl = true = true
- network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.request.timeout = 300
- network.dns.disableIPv6 = true (if you live in a country where they do not use IPv6)
- network.prefetch-next = false (prevents Firefox download pages before you give them click)
- content.notify.ontimer = true = true
- content.interrupt.parsing content . max.tokenizing.time = 2250000
- content.maxtextrun = 8191
- content.notify.interval = 750000 = 750000 content.switch.threshold
- 2 .- Optimize memory consumption: all know that Firefox uses a lot of RAM, well this is the part where we put on a diet.
- browser.cache.disk.capacity = 20000 (sets the amount of disk space in KB to use for the cache. Use 20000 if you have more than 1GB of RAM, 15000 if you have between 1GB - 512MB and 5000 if you are under 512MB of RAM)
- browser.cache.memory.capacity = 32768 (indicates the amount of RAM in KB using Firefox for the cache. If the key does not exist create of type Integer. We recommend 32768 if you have 2GB of RAM , 16384 if you have between 1GB - 512MB and 8192 to less than 512MB)
- 3 .- Use the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine:
- javascript.options.jit.chrome = true = true
- javascript.options.jit.content
- 4 .- Improved behavior:
toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement = 75 (speeds up the scrolling between tabs)
- browser.sessionstore.interval = 30000 (saves the session every 30 seconds instead of every 10)
- browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo = 5 (indicating the number of tabs you can restore after closing)
- browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers = 4 (indicating the number of pages that are stored in RAM so that should not be reprocessed for Firefox. You can visit this site
for more information)
There, with that we will have a slightly faster Firefox. And you, what has worked for you the recipe? Leave a comment
