A firefox trick and tweak to improve the browser speed more, though firefox is already one of the fastest browser. after trying this trick I experienced amazing speed with firefox. it realy made the differance.you people will also enjoy it. but these setting will make more difference if you have broadband connection. so don't blame if you are not using broadband connection and struggling with same old speed :( .

follow this:

• in address bar type "about:config" and press enter. this will bring you the configuration list with different parameters.
• Double click the following settings and put up the numbers as described bellow. for booleans - it will change to true/false with double clicking on it. if you can't find any value just right click anywhere on the screen and add a New variable.
• Change following settings:

browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300

Add new parameter "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set it's value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now enjoy loading of webpages much faster than before.

Session Manager is a firefox add-ons that helps you to manage your opened websites in tabs. the older add-on was there called SessionSaver was doing the same thing. it will replace that add-on and also the Tab Mix Plus if you have installed already. and it is more reliable in compare to both of them. It stores more data than both of them.




the most usefull & needed duty of Session Manager is when you close the firefox window with closing all the tabs at the same time and leave for the day. and then the next day you will login in your terminal again, it will ask you to restore the previously closed all tabs or open a new window.

New fetures:

• Encryption of session data stored for advanced settings that require to handle the master password.
• The last saved session will be colored blue.
• Middle clicking the tab bar will reopen the last closed tab. This is disabled if Tab Mix Plus or Tab Clicking Options is installed since they allow middle click functionality to be customized.
• CTRL/Command right clicking on an entry in the closed tab/window list will remove that item from the list.
