Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular web-browser; despite its popularity, Firefox has some speed issues. The speed of Firefox is slower than other web browsers in Windows 10, 8.1 and 7.
Here are some ways to speed up your Firefox:
- Disable Multi-Process Windows: Firefox Quantum was designed to increase browsing speed by turning Firefox into a multi-process browser. But after this upgrade, people found that this actually decreases the speed. For disabling multi-process windows go to “about:config” , search for preference (browser.tabs.remote.autostart), right-click on it and mark it to false.
- Increase and decrease page limit: The default number of content processes used by Firefox is four, but you can increase it to seven. It also provides you the facility to decrease it. These are the steps to change content preferences:
- Open settings
- Scroll to Performance
- Disable the use recommended performance settings box. Then use the dropdown to increase or decrease the content processes.
- Auto tab discard: Lots of add-ons become useless since Firefox become Quantum. But auto tab discard add-on quickly made a jump to the new browser. Auto tab discard add-on lets you set rules to automatically discard browser tab that you leave open. It doesn’t close the tab but suspends them so they will not occupy memory when not in use. It there are some tabs you want to open always, you can just whitelist them.
- Run Firefox into a low-resolution mode (Mac): This service is only provided for Mac users because it turns out that the super-crisp high-resolution image of the Apple retina doesn’t always go right with Firefox which causes speed issues. The temporary solution to this problem is to use Firefox in low resolution.
- Toggle Hardware Problem: Depending on your assets, you can enable and disable the hardware acceleration, which will tell you whether Firefox uses your GPU to accelerate browsing. If you have a new PC, it will be good to switch hardware acceleration on. If you are working in an old PC without a dedicated GPU, then leaving it on will slow down your computer because the GPU is too weak to carry hardware properly.

- Toggle tracking protection: Tracking protection is supposed to increase the browser speed. The idea is to prevent sites that rely heavily on tracking scripts. Depending on how much the site relies on content, you can load twenty to ninety percent faster with tracking protection. But with Firefox, some users experienced opposite effect, switching tracking protection to “Off” have increased their speed. If you are also facing issues with tracking protection you can change it by these following steps:
