For my first post here I'm gonna show you some of my tried and proven methods on speeding up firefox, while some of you may already know this I just wanted to show it anyway for the internet newbies who wants to gain an extra boost in their mozilla firefox and make their internet faster, here it is...
Before we do this I highly recommend that you make a restore point or that you backup the preferences of firefox.
To make a backup of firefox's settings just make a copy of the file prefs.js. This file is stored in your Firefox default directory. The reason for this is if you make a mistake you can always return to the default state of firefox but don't worry, your in good hands with me so its ok if you don't backup.
now let us get to the fun part!
STEP 1
Open Firefox and In the address bar put about:config then hit enter

Copy and Paste the names below at the filter, for example.. browser.cache.disk.capacity after you hit enter and it shows up enter the following values 15000
To enter the following values:
-- double click the preference if it is present by default;
-- right clicking anywhere in the browser then go to New then Integer or Boolean if the preference is not present by default;
>BE PREPARED BECAUSE THIS SETTINGS CAN MAKE YOUR INTERNET FASTER!< ^_^

browser.cache.disk.enable, true
browser.cache.memory.capacity, 65536
browser.cache.memory.enable, true
browser.search.openintab, true
browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace, false
browser.urlbar.hideGoButton, true
config.trim_on_minimize, true
