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.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes.
