Each new Firefox update brings small improvements in performance, which can
together do much to the browser for better performance. So do not ignore the
updates. By default, Firefox will automatically download and install the minor
updates, the point that even if he has to go for updates on important points
for you. Keep checking to take control of high-Firefox-Update for new updates
from time to while.By the way, if you do not mind a few bugs here and there I
will recommend to download the latest version of Firefox Beta 4 from here . It
is still nowhere as fast as Chrome or Opera, but works much better than Firefox
3.6 (0.8) on my netbook. The obvious compromise sometimes contain bugs and
incompatibilities with most add-ons (the release of both are determined
depending on the version of the main axes).
2. Put your profile or Start Over
Have you noticed how Firefox very quickly at first, and begins to decrease
with time? This is no different than what happened with Windows and is
characterized by the constant accumulation of information in your Firefox
profile.
If Firefox be easy to become too slow, can be a good idea to start from
scratch to restore your existing profile or create a new profile.
3. Judgement of the people or topics that you use
Since 3.6, Firefox supports two types of "Skins" - indigenous
issues in all rules, and arms. If you, the better and used instead the question
of values. It is simply the default settings "Strata" is the theme
"Issues" tab in Tools -> Plugins. The switch immediately if you
are a person uses and requires a reboot if you use a complete title.
4. Set a higher priority for firefox.exe
He is a murderer, and uncomfortable at the same time. Recently, one of the
Firefox browser memory efficiently been there, but in netbooks like the browser
feels almost sacrifice in the performance of memory, to keep it under control.
You can make your way, of course with the Windows Task Manager. Make sure
Firefox is running, then right-click the taskbar and select Start Task Manager.
" Jump on the Processes tab and look for firefox.exe process. Right-click
it and select "Priority" to "above normal." With a choice
between "real time" "high" or is not recommended because it
can run much tax system and cripple the performance of other programs.
This will ensure that Firefox has a higher priority for CPU cycles than
other services that are not Windows (usually set to normal priority) hold, and
thus the browser is running much smoother. The problem is that you repeat this
process every time you open Firefox, but it is a very unfortunate not to avoid:
* You learn not to close Firefox. If you minimize surf the Web instead of
closing Firefox. The loss of memory that Firefox uses for days before either
were connected, do not worry.
* Instead of closing the plant through the winter. Hibernate mode, all
settings and windows before turning the system off and returns it as after the
passage of the netbook. This ensures that Firefox is still floating in the
computer's memory (as it is not closing) with an "above normal"
priority.
This is obviously not a foolproof method, and needs to close and restart
Firefox often than other browsers.
In addition, as you can imagine, the performance of other applications can
run simultaneously suffer a bit more like Firefox is the love of your
processor.
5. Hardware acceleration enabled (Firefox 4 Beta only)
Firefox 4 is ready hardware acceleration in Windows Vista Direct2D / 7
support. This allows Firefox to use your unit (GPU) instead of the CPU for
intensive research, with the last hurdle and happy.
Of course, the Intel GPU is terrible in most Netbooks, but still strong
enough to handle Web browsing. This feature is standard in the current beta of
Firefox 4 disabled, but can be activated in a few easy steps
* In a new tab, type about: config. Click on "I'll be careful, I
promise" to overcome the warning.
* In the "Filter" box (below the tabs), type "make" to
show only the values that have the floor.
* From entries 7 or less, and gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled
double-click it to find its value to "true" (which is false by
default) change.
* Fashion mozilla.widget.render Below you double-click it and change the
value of -1 to 6 in the box. Click OK.
* This is it! Close the file, restart Firefox and re-focus on their work.
6. Unwanted flash and scripts
This noscript direct conflict with the next point, but for some reason.
Some sites have tons of garbage and Flash content, you need Javascript kill, so
here is the Atom processor. So, I fully expect to be installed NoScript add-on
for Firefox, which blocks scripts and flash content by default on all sides.
Sure, you can choose to whitelist websites that can not operate without
these elements (such as YouTube or miniclip) and maintain intimidating to white
lists of new websites that you have from your visit, but the final reward is -
response time for Firefox and a fast processor.
7. Use as few accessories as possible
NoScript Firefox keeps your lower processor. However, most dietary
supplements really can help. If you need an extension, are not install it on
your netbook Firefox. Sync Firefox is my only much needed add-on for you, it
might be different. In any case, try to keep the number of shims under 3 years.
8. Say NO to HD video streaming
HD Video
Shit graphics Atom netbook and Intel were not designed to consume media in
high definition. Keep this in mind while a video streaming (from YouTube or
other sites). Always use the lowest quality - and forget about everything that
is above 360P. Obviously not the fault of Firefox - it's just that netbooks can
not handle HD streaming.
