I think the Mozilla Firefox is a very excellent browser. It is not only fast but also safe. However, some of computer users complain that the Firefox sometimes runs or loads pretty slowly. So, how to speed it up and enhance the browsing experience effectively? You just need to make some changes to the browser settings.

Separately copy network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to the search box, and then double click then. Change to their Boonlean values from false to true.
