Tips for Fast Access Internet on Mozilla Firefox

    History Settings

  1. By default, Mozilla Firefox stores your web page history for 90 days. Setting this option to something smaller, such as 60, 30, 15, or even 0 days can have a tremendous impact on the speed of Firefox. This can be adjusted in the "Tools" menu by clicking on "Options" and then the "Privacy" tab. You will need to restart Firefox after changing the setting in order for it to take effect.
  2. Home Page Settings

  3. Your default home page will be set to a specialized version of Google for Mozilla Firefox. Of course you can set your home page to any site you wish, but using a blank home page will help Firefox load up quicker. To do this, click on the "Tools" menu, select "Options" and then the "Main" tab. Type "about:blank" into box next to "Home Page" and you're all set. You will have to restart Firefox in order for your new settings to take effect.
  4. Extensions

  5. There are many extensions available that can be installed and added on to Mozilla Firefox. In order to get the best performance out of Firefox, use only the extensions that are absolutely necessary.
  6. Bookmarks

  7. For some this may sound like tedious work, but making sure your "Bookmarks" menu is clean and organized will not only speed up Firefox, but it will help you find your favorite sites even quicker. You can even create and use your own folders to organize similar sites.
  8. Toolbars

  9. Web browser toolbars can be used for almost anything; weather reports, stock market tickers, and search engines just to name a few. Use only the toolbars that are necessary to your everyday web browsing and minimize the number of toolbars you use, in order to maximize the performance of Mozilla Firefox in general.
