Navigating on the internet should be a smooth experience, without the expectations or taxes that seem to last forever. Mozilla FirefoxWith its safety mix, adjustment and independence of the Big Tech, it is a browser that deserves to shine. Yet it sometimes seems a bit lazy, especially when it is weighed by non -optimized extensions or configurations. It is not necessary to continue to another browser: with few tricks, Firefox can be converted into a splinter.

UPDATE FIREFOX: The basis to start quickly
An unconscious browser is like a car with the motor with powder form. Firefox Receives regular updates that improve speed and safety. To check the version, simply click on the three lines icon at the top right, select Staff and then Information about Firefox. If there is an update, the browser downloads it automatically. Restarting after the update is essential to apply the news. Mozilla has made major steps by making the pages faster to load and the more smooth interactions, so don’t be left with the versions.
Extensions: the less it is better
The extensions They are the power of Firefox, but also his Achilles heel. Too many active extensions, especially the poorly optimized, can slow the browser to have them arranged. Go up to manage this chaos Extra components and themes From the menu with three lines. Here you can switch off or delete what you do not need.
Optimize the cache: an underrated make -up
The stampache Firefox stores data to load the sites faster, but if it is poorly managed, it can become a weight. Go up to adjust it Institutionssection Privacy and securityand search Web content in cache.
Use automatic management and set a value that is suitable for your PC. If you have a computer with at least 4 GB RAM, a cache of 1024 MB It is a good compromise. However, with an SSD you can reduce it 150 MB Or even zero, benefit from the ram for greater reactivity. This precautionary measure prevents the hard disk to hide, so that Firefox stays spicier.
Hardware -Acceleration: Take advantage of your graphic card
Activate for those with a modern PC deHardware – It can make a difference. This function delegates some heavy operations on the graphic card, such as the management of videos or animations. Go up Institutionssection Generallyand below Performance Make sure the box Use Hardware -Acceleration if available Is relaxed. However, if your computer is dated, this option can delay instead of accelerating, test the result and deactivates if you notice problems. A restart of the browser is needed to apply the change.
Lowering processes: balance speed and memory in balance
Firefox uses more processes To manage open maps, improve stability and safety. But too many processes can consume memory and delay everything. Always in Institutionssection Generallyunder Performancepick Use standard settings and regulates the Maximum number of processes for content. For PC with less than 8 GB RAM, setting 2 or 3 processes is a wise choice. With more ram you can go to 4 or 5, but not to overdo it: the more processes mean the more used memory and it does not always translate into speed.
Open maps: less chaos, more fluidity
Opening a thousand cards is a temptation, but every active card consumes resources. For those who can’t resist it, an extension such as Auto tab thrown away It can be a life -saving: pause the inactive cards, freeing memory without closing them. You can find it on Add-ons in Mozilla. Just set a timer to “freeze” the cards after a few minutes. This trick is a solution for those who, just like me, always end with a beam with tabs that looks like a highway with six countries: it keeps everything under control without comforting.
Fast DNS: a boost for connection
Change the i Server DNS It can reduce access times to sites. The standard DNS of your internet provider is not always the fastest. Services such as Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) O Google Public DNS (8.8.8.8) They are known for their speed.
With windows, vai with Network settings and change the DNS manually; You can find it on macOS System Preferencessection Net. On Android of iOS you can use the Cloudflare app to also configure them under the mobile network. This small change can give an immediate push, especially not really star connections.
Advanced configurations: Enter Firefox’s Hart
For the bravest, type About: Configuration A world of hidden institutions opens in the address bar. Attention: Delicate parameters are treated here and then go carefully.
Fence network.http.pipelining and put it on WHERE Make pipelining possible, which sends more requests to servers at the same time, so that loading is accelerated. Another useful parameter is network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: Set it to 8 To balance speed and compatibility. If something goes wrong, too high value can cause problems on some sites, so go back if necessary. These changes are for those who like to blame, but the results can be surprising.
Content block: Obstacles Gone
Modern sites are full of Tracking script And advertising that slows down navigation. There Advanced anti -treatment protection from Firefox, which can be activated in Institutionssection Privacy and securityBlocks these standard elements. Choose the mode Strict For the maximum advantage, but keep in mind that some sites may not work perfectly.
As an alternative, extensions such as Ublock -Oorsprong O Privacy Badger They do a similar task with a more detailed check. By reducing the load of unnecessary content, the pages become lighter and faster to load.
Regular maintenance: keep the browser clean
Over time, chronology” cookie And temporary files gather that weigh Firefox. Go up Institutionssection Privacy and securityand click on Delete data To remove cookies and cache. You can also set Firefox to automatically remove them when closing.
For deeper cleaning, free programs such as Speedyfox They optimize the internal databases of the browser and reduce Start -T times. Maintenance every few months keeps Firefox in shape, without having to reset it.
Advanced institutions
We can also use the menu About: Configuration To change advanced settings, type the menunaam in the address bar and continue. As you can see, you must click on a message that warns you pay attention to the changes to this section, but I can say that I am calm because it is at most You can reset the settings At any time.
