Speed Up your Firefox

Here's how to tweak Firefox:

1. Open your Firefox browser.

2. In the address bar, replace the web address with about:config as shown in the screenie.

3. Input the following by:

- double clicking the preference if it is present by default

- right clicking anywhere in the browser then go to New then Integer or Boolean if the preference is absent by default

Remember: if the value is a number, it’s an “Integer”. If it is either True or False, it’s “Boolean”. (Please click the word for the complete definition.)

Input without the comma.
