today I'm going to show you three tweaks that can improve the performance or usage of Firefox
there will be time stamps in the video description so you can skip ahead to the tweak that you
want to see so the first tweak is about network settings that improve page load time in Firefox
and what you do is you go up to the address bar and you type about colon config and then
you press enter and here you just click I'll be careful I promise and then in search you
type pipelining and where it says network pipelining under preference name you just
double click it and it says true under value and then for max requests it's already set
to the right number which is thirty two and for SSL you want to toggle it to true by double
clicking it and for network proxy pipelining you only want to toggle that to true if you're
using a proxy in search now we will type max dash connections and here under max connections
two hundred and fifty six is the right number now we have to add an integer to this in order
to make this work properly so to add the integer you right click in a blank area you go down
to new and then integer and then for the preference name you add this network dot http dot max
dash connections dash per dash server and then click ok and then you want to type sixteen
and then click ok after you've done this you'll want to restart Firefox if you're on a slow
internet connection the default settings are probably best or even setting them lower if
you use the search that is built into Firefox here and you type for example we'll just use
test and then you hit enter and right now the current tab were on is Yahoo dot ca and
if you would hit enter after typing test it will navigate away from Yahoo dot ca now what
I'm going to show you is a way to change so that it'll open the search results in a new
tab if you're using Firefox search in the address bar you type about colon config and
then press enter and then click I'll be careful and then in search you type open in tab and
then you just double click the preference name so that the value is true now you'll
have to restart Firefox now we are back at the search box and we'll type test again now
when you press enter a new tab will be created instead of navigating away from the current
tab that is being displayed as you can see now we have the test in Google search and
we have all of three other tabs open and unaffected to use the scroll wheel on your mouse or the
middle button to paste from your clipboard we go to the address bar again and type about
colon config and then press enter and then click I'll be careful and then you type middle
mouse and then where it says middle mouse paste you just double click on that preference
name and toggle the value to true now for example if I wanted to copy middle mouse and
we'll click copy then we'll go to my homepage which is Google now I can click the scroll
wheel or middle button of my mouse to paste and there you go there will be text instructions
in the video description on how to do these tweaks you can also undo them by simply doing
the steps in reverse and if you have added an entry like we did for the network settings
you can delete that entry by just right clicking it and clicking reset and restarting Firefox
