Has the fire in your fox turned into an ember? If so, here are three tips to optimize Firefox for your high speed connection:

In the Firefox address bar, type “about:config”. Don’t be overwhelmed, follow the steps below and you’ll be fine...

• Right-click (Ctrl+click for Mac users) anywhere in the list and select “new” then “Integer”. In the pop-up box, type “nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and click OK. Set it to “0”

• Again, make a new integer value. This time name it “ui.submenuDelay” and set it to “0”

• Place your cursor in the “Filter” bar at the top of the screen and type ”pipelining”

• Four results should appear. Double click on “network.http.pipelining”; this will set the value to true

• The next entry should be “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests”. Double-click it and Set this value to 64

• Find "network.http.proxy.pipelining" and again, double-click it to set the Boolean value to “true”

That’s it! Not so bad right? Restart Firefox and enjoy your faster web browsing experience!
