3 ways to speed up Firefox

3 ways to speed up Firefox

It is known that one of the major flaws of Firefox is its controversy. Each open Tab takes up one piece of RAM, which is normal but can sometimes be a big problem. You can solve the problem by buying more RAM, but I believe most would change the browser itself. If you still use this web browser, here are a few tricks to speed up the browser itself.

1. Reduce the amount of RAM that Firefox uses.

  • In the address bar type:about:config
  • Pronadjite: browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewer
  • Podesite vrednost na: 0 (zero)

2. Increase the loading speed of the page

- In the address bar type: about: config

- Set:

network.http.pipelining - true

network.http.proxy.pipelining - true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests - 10

- Right-click somewhere in the blank and select "New -> Integer", in the name field put: nglayout.initialpaint.delay

in the field "value" put 0 (zero)

3. Reduce RAM consumption while Firefox is minimized

  • Type in the address bar: about: config
  • Right-click on the blank and select "New -> Boolean"
  • In the field, you see the type "config.trim_on_minimize"
  • Select "True" and press Enter

After all the settings, restart Firefox.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
