1. Fetch only pages that you click
Firefox has a built-in feature (enabled by default) that will pre-download the pages behind the links it thinks you MIGHT click, which means you’re downloading and storing pages you are not viewing. To disable it, open about:config list, go to network.prefetch-next and change value from TRUE to False.
2. Limit the RAM usage
In about:config go to browser.cache.memory.capacity and test different values. For RAM sizes between 512MB and 1GB, start with 15000; for RAM sizes between 128MB and 512M, try 5000.
3. Reduce RAM usage even more when Firefox gets minimized
Richt-click on the about:config page, select New and click Boolean. A box will appear; enter config.trim_on_minimize. Set the boolean value to TRUE. Test after restarting Firefox.
4. Make pages load faster
Most browsers are configured for dial-up users. Tweak the settings for your optimal use. On about:config go to network.http.pipelining and set value to TRUE. You may alter the key below (network.http.pipelining.maxrequests) and change it to a higher value - 10 for example.
