How to Make Firefox Load Pages Faster

Edited by Tom Viren, Sean Hickey, Travis Derouin, Justin A. and 43 others

If you have a fast connection, you can make webpages load even faster in Firefox by enabling pipelining. But if you have a slow connection, do not do this because slow connections can not handle many requests. Normally, the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining, it will make several requests at once, which can make page loading faster.

Edit Steps

1. 1
   Enable pipelining.
   • Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit Enter.
     
   • Look for “network.http.pipelining”. If it’s false (it's false by default), double-click that line and change it to true.
     
   • Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" (enabling pipelining in proxy) to true by double-clicking it.
     
   • Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to 8 by double-clicking it. This means it will make 8 requests at once. There is no point setting it higher than 8 as it will make Firefox load pages slower instead. The default value is 32.
     
2. 2
   Clear browsing history. Go to Firefox menu > History > Clear Recent History... then click "Clear Now".
3. 3
   Use extensions that make Firefox load pages faster. Fasterfox and FastestFox are two extensions that make Firefox load pages faster.
4. 4
   Disable/remove add-ons you don't need. Go to Firefox menu > Add-ons then click "Disable" on each add-on you don't need.
5. 5
   Set Firefox not to remember history. Go to Firefox menu > Options then click "Privacy" then change "Remember history" to "Never remember history".
6. 6
   Remove toolbars you do not need. Right-click at the tab bar and uncheck all toolbars you do not need.
7. 7
   Disable Firefox auto-update (security risk). Go to Firefox menu > Options > Advanced > Update then choose "Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)".
