Good tips. However browser.history_expire_days_min didn’t show up. Instead I had browser.history_expire_days.mirror Is this the same? I left it alone.

I have the latest version of firefox (4 I think) and when I copied and pasted these:
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth
nglayout.initialpaint.delay

nothing showed up… why is it that it doesn’t show for mine?

Good guide, there is more that you can change in about:config though.
Here is a good tutorial for speeding up Firefox, http://www.techhelpcentre.com/showthread.php?t=118553.

I’ve recently given up on Firefox. It is so bloated almost as bad as IE. I’m now a happy Chrome user. Only reason to go back to Firefox is for Firebug. I’ll try your recommendations though and see if it helps.

thanks,

Scott.

Just noticed that since I upgraded Firefox I felt it was very slow and sure enough the config settings had been reset and I just did the above again and now it is fast again
