2nd step :
1. Limiting memory usage of Firefox cache:
network.http.pipelining
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.proxy.pipelining
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Default value : 4
New value : 8
network.http.pipelining.ssl
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.max-connections
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value : 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :16
network.http.keep-alive.timeout
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :30
plugin.expose_full_path
Default value : False
New value : True
Now create those values :
Name : content.notify.backoffcount
Name : content.interrupt.parsing
Name : content.notify.ontimer
Value : True
Name : network.dns.disablePrefetch
Value : True
5. Set Firefox's default theme:
That makes sense, themes use resources more, so they take more memory !!
6. Disable or remove all useless extensions:
Some extensions are sometimes chasms memory.
7. Clear periodically Firefox's history:
Setting the browser history a too broadly value increases memory usage.
8. Clear recent downloads' lists:
Cleaning regularly the list of downloaded files reduces also the memory usage:
To access to the configuration page of Firefox, type into the Firefox address bar the following words: about:config
Now, you have to add a few options. For each option, you will need to right click on the mouse, choose New and select which type do you want String, Numeric or Boolean Values.
1. Limiting memory usage of Firefox cache:
By default, Firefox cache uses a percentage of the computer's memory system. We will give him a fixed value: 8 MB is sufficient in most cases
Choose "New" then "Numeric Value" :
Name : browser.cache.memory.capacity
Value : 8192
Name : browser.cache.memory.capacity
Value : 8192
2. Limiting the use of memory when Firefox is minimized:
This option works only with Windows. It reduces memory usage when minimizing Firefox:
This option works only with Windows. It reduces memory usage when minimizing Firefox:
Choose "New" then "Boolean Value" :
Name : config.trim_on_minimize
Value : True
Name : config.trim_on_minimize
Value : True
3. Adding a turbo to Firefox :
Another value that aims to create free memory to load instantaneously by emptying the cache :
Choose "New" then "Boolean Value" :
Name : browser.turbo.enabled
Name : browser.turbo.enabled
Value : True
4. Now create or modify those values to boost Firefox :
In the research box type these words :
network.http.pipelining
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.proxy.pipelining
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Default value : 4
New value : 8
network.http.pipelining.ssl
Default value : False
New value : True
network.http.max-connections
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value : 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :16
network.http.keep-alive.timeout
Default value :(Every version has its own value)
New value :30
plugin.expose_full_path
Default value : False
Now create those values :
Choose "New" then "Numeric" or "Integer" and type:
Name : content.notify.backoffcount
Value : 5
Name : nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Value : 2000
Name : content.notify.interval
Value : 750000
Name : content.switch.threshold
Value : 750000
Name : content.max.tokenizing.time
Value : 2250000
Name : nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Value : 2000
Name : content.notify.interval
Value : 750000
Name : content.switch.threshold
Value : 750000
Name : content.max.tokenizing.time
Value : 2250000
Choose "New" then "Boolean" and types:
Name : content.interrupt.parsing
Value : True
Name : content.notify.ontimer
Value : True
Name : network.dns.disablePrefetch
Value : True
That makes sense, themes use resources more, so they take more memory !!

7. Clear periodically Firefox's history:
Setting the browser history a too broadly value increases memory usage.
8. Clear recent downloads' lists:
Cleaning regularly the list of downloaded files reduces also the memory usage:
9. SpeedyFox 2.0.12 :
SpeedyFox offers Firefox users a tool to restore some strength to the red panda browser. Over time, it has the unfortunate tendency to lose responsiveness, this, due to the fragmentation of the database profile. SpeedyFox solves this problem without affecting the proper functioning and the saved data, including bookmarks, passwords, downloads, etc.. Finally, the software can act on user profiles independently.
