Well here is my first edition of TechnoTips

If you guyz use firefix and loads of extentions , here are tips to reduce emmory hogging and increase speed. Well u will see considerable speed if u r in DSL and it depends on the site u r connecting

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 50. This means it will make 50 requests at once.

Create a new boolean entry config.trim_on_minimize and set it to true
Set browser.cache.memory.capacity to a fixed size (the default values are: for 256 MB RAM - 14336, 512 MB RAM - 22528, 1 GB RAM - 32768). A good value to try is 16384.
Set browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers to 0
Change image.animation_mode to none

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

4.
Go to Tools/Options.

Set the disk cache memory to a low value (less than 50 MB)
Turn off Java
Try to avoid these extensions: Adblock, Fasterfox, IE Tab, Session Saver. Use Adblock Plus instead of Adblock.
Don't use more than 5 extension

Ohoo... come on man whats that... are you kidding... let's see what i have here... there are 35 Enabled Extensions... and oh you are just trying to configure that manully... but the simple way to make all those settings is using Fasterfox (http://fasterfox.mozdev.org)... and heres my settings
Custom... memory cache capacity 32000, Disk cache 0, DNS expiration 9999 , DNS Entries 1024. Connection tab... Max Con. 48, Max Con. per server 24, persistant per server 22, persistant per proxy 16, pipelining tab... max pipelining 8... rendering tab... fastback 3... initial delay 1, submenu delay 1.
and its working like hell
