There are several other tips for speeding up firefox 4 like lowering cache memory for system with low RAM if firefox operates slow. Furthermore, using less addons and default firefox theme/persona enhance its operating speed overall.
I hope the above approach and steps help you surf the web in lightning fast speed!
I do not understand above things can one explain in detail and tell how to lower the cache memory
To lower the cache memory, just go to tools if you have menu bar otherwise click on firefox menu in the leftmost top position, then options, then advanced, then network, then edit the cache memory there, then click on ok button.. I hope this helps u!
What you replied there is the DISK CACHE, not the MEMORY CACHE 😛
Thanks for pointing but that is what we refer to when we speak of memory cache in lay terms.. The technology behind memory cache and disk cache is absolutely different but “Memory cache” term is more popular for what I mentioned above..
i love firefox becoz it is simple to use n it is fast
I am using a dial-up connection.
How can I do to speed up my dial-up connection with Firefox?
Please reply me some effective suggestion.
Thank you
Since you’re on slow dialup connection.. I’ll suggest you to use mozilla firefox as it works best on slow internet connection. You can’t do anything more to make things faster as firefox is already optimised for slower connections.
I find that some servers slowdown with many requests from many ports, especially if with many persistant connections. so first time fast next times progressivly slower.
I don’t think NatMans like it.
Yeah, few web servers restrict persistent connection from the same ip address but the settings mentioned above is not going to affect as you’re not going to make it that much
Tried the above suggestions and did as suggested but do not notice that Firefox 5.0 starts any faster.
