In my quest finding ways to increase the speed of mozilla firefox browser, I found that there are many ways to tweak firefox browser. It begins when I got frustrated because of the disappointing service of my ISP (In Indonesia I use IM2) produce slow internet connections when I use it. I use Opera Mini 5 Beta for my phone and MF for my PC. So I search for firefox hacks as one alternative to increase the speed when I browse the internet when using my PC, because I love to browse and read blogs / websites.

As I mentioned before, I found there are many ways to speed up mozilla firefox. I don’t know which one works best, I just choose the simple one. I got this hack from Awangjivi’s blog. The hack works on my browser, it can increase the browsing and download speed.
