How to speed up Firefox 4, 5, 6 & 7. Make faster downloads. Works 100%!!! Also enable Google toolbar

Performance tweaks for Firefox 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 to increase the browsing speed. Just follow the instructions and you will make your Firefox browser really fast!

Type "about:config" (without quotes) in the address bar and proceed by pressing the I'll be careful, I promise button. Now in the filter field type in the following values one by one and set its value accordingly. For eg, type network.http.pipelining, you will see the corresponding value appearing below, double clicking it will set the value to true or false and if its some thing which has a value to be set, a popup window appears where you could enter the value for the field.

network.http.pipelining = true
network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 12 (I have mine on 150)
content.notify.backoffcount = 5
nglayout.initialpaint.delay = 0
plugin.expose_full_path = true
ui.submenuDelay = 0
network.dns.disableIPv6 = true
javascript.options.jit.chrome = true
javascript.options.jit.content = true
content.notify.interval = 750000
content.switch.threshold = 750000
content.max.tokenizing.time = 2250000
browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs = 0

If any of the above value doesn't appear, then follow the steps below.

For a setting with true or false value. For eg, if you don't see the value being displayed below while typing content.notify.backoffcount on the filter field just right click on an empty space and select Boolean from New. Type content.notify.ontimer in the box and set its value to true.
The same is applicable if you are setting a integer value, except that you need to select Integer from the right click menu.

Also install FXChrome: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=FXChrome&cat=all&x...

4 Features for Desktop Privacy

The Web is pretty happy place full of puppies, clouds and rainbows (and cats, of course). Unfortunately, there are also some big meanies out there who don't play nice with people's private information. Here, then, are some tools to help you keep your info your own.

Do Not Track
Many sites track what you do online and then sell that data to advertisers; Firefox lets you tell them you want to opt out. This doesn't yet make you invisible to all advertisers, however, and while not everyone is on board yet, we've seen a lot of interest and progress. If you haven't already, show your support by enabling Do Not Track on your desktop or mobile today.

Private Browsing
This feature does exactly what it says. Turn it on to keep your browsing history private from others who use the same computer. Sometimes it's nice to go undercover.

Clear Recent History
Forgot to turn on Private Browsing? No problem. You can delete the most recent sites you visited with just a few clicks.

Forget This Site
If you're having second thoughts about visiting a specific site, but don't want to lose your whole history, you can remove any trace of it from your browser. It's like it never existed in the first place.

Hi, type "about:config"... after that type the name of the integer, boolean what you want to change. Is very simple, you can modify or delete it. Just delete the wrong value after that just right click and you can make a new boolean or integer... Good luck and tumbs up if it helps!

I accidentally made it integer. I reset it and it became string. Help!
