Make firefox fastest in all

Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);
Fast Computer Fast Connection

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);

user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.
Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
Fast Computer, Slow Connection

user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
Slow Computer, Fast Connection

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.
Slow Computer, Slow Connection

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);

Building your own Personal Computer

Computers started life as a huge room full of long vacuum tubes. The computer today has changed the way the world lives, earns, learns, communicates and processes information. Indeed the computer has become a personal device befitting the title the personal computer. With new technologies flowing into the market almost every eighteen months the prices of computer parts and peripherals never stay stagnant. Prices rocket downwards and crash land until the part is one day totally worthless and fit for only scrap. In this scenario there is no necessity that the consumer needs to buy only factory assembled computers. The consumer can buy parts off the shelf as per his requirements and budget and assemble them at home. The simplicity in design and construction of computer components stands in favor of assembly at home. A certain basic knowledge of parts like the motherboard, processor and RAM is sufficient for anyone to assemble a personal computer.

To start off the basic component required is a Motherboard. The motherboard will house all the other essential components acting as a central transfer path for information flow. For the budget conscious there are a variety of cheap motherboards available but the most common one sold is the Intel motherboard. It comes in several variants with regard to slot capacity, LAN connectivity etc. The ardent gamer would prefer the Asus brand motherboard as they provide better processing for memory intensive gaming applications though they are a tad more expensive.Next is the Processor. The processor is the core or rather the heart of your computer. The speed of the processor determines the flow rate of information within your computer. The most common processor brands are Intel and AMD. Motorola is also known to make good processors thought they are not in use in personal computers. After the processor, the next most important component is the RAM or Random Access Memory. RAM comes in cards with various memory capacities. With greater memory capacity in your RAM, the Sound and Video processing capabilities of the computer will be better. The next important accessory will be the Hard Disk. The hard disk will act as your permanent storage facility for all your information and hence a good quality hard disk from a well known brand with good storage space of around at least 120 GB is recommended.

With the most important components complete we come to the parts that are of most interest to the avid gamer, the Sound Card and Video Card. All motherboards come with basic built in sound and video processing capabilities, but for people who prefer high quality audio there are provisions for additional cards through the PCI and AGP slots. The AGP slots are use for video cards. The Video cards come with additional RAM which is used purely for Video processing hence giving additional picture clarity. The PCI slots are used for sound cards. Sound cards perform the basic function of synthesizing sound for better clarity. Higher end cards also perform audio splitting to various channels in the case of a 5.1 or 7.1 or higher speaker set up. One can shop around a bit and find components that suit your budget to set up your own personal computer.

Increasing The Life Of Hard Disk

Taking care of your hard disk is important because this is the place where all the data is stored and once the hard disk crashes, data in most cases is not recoverable. There are data recovery softwares and programs which recover data from crashed hard disks but that is not for normal computer users.

But why do hard disks crash and what can be done to prevent them from crashing?. At the same time how can a hard disk be made more efficient? Here are the answers.

Hard disks crash due to many reasons. Voltage fluctuations, physical impact, improper alignment and of course mechanical failure due to wear and tear of internal parts. Let us start one by one and get the answers to the above problems.

1. Voltage fluctuations or spikes as they are called can be prevented by using voltage stabilizers or spike guards. This will limit the damage to the hard disk to a great extent.2. Physical impact can be prevented by handling the hard disk carefully when installing/ re-installing. When installing the hard disk care should be taken to see that it sits perfectly horizontal and that it does not vibrate or shake once the computer is started.3. The natural wear and tear of parts can be limited by defragmenting your hard disk from time to time.But what is defragmentation?

All newly created files are stored in various places on the hard disk in a single cluster ( contiguous file ). But, as the number of files and programs increase, these files are not stored as one contiguous file but broken down and scattered in various places on the hard disk. In short files get fragmented. When these files are accessed by the user, the head on the hard disk moves to and fro to locate these fragments. These fragmented files puts lot of mechanical pressure on the internal parts of the hard disk. This leads to crashes.

To start disk defragmenter from the start menu, click the start button and follow this path (All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Disk Defragmenter). A minimum of 15 percent free space on your disk is needed for disk defragmenter to run. The disk can also be defragmented automatically by using schedule task. This program can can be accessed via system tools.

4. Power management tool can also be used to enhance the life of hard disk. To access this program go to start / control panel / power options and set the parameters for various hardware devices.

5. Disk cleanup increases the efficiency of the hard disk. So delete unwanted files and programs regularly.

Follow the above rules to increase the life of you hard disk.


How to Recover Deleted Files ?

Have You Ever imagined the situation of deleting important documents, mp3, images from your windows recycle bin and not even able to find out a solution to recover those important documents . IF YES, then you might be aware about the Data Loss Situation. This situation used to create panic in the organization and the first question to arise was – Now what to do?

In this article we will throw light when you had faced that slap your head moments on how to Recover Deleted Files when you have emptied the recycle bin OR pressed (shift+del) to permanently delete the file. Fortunately, the data is not completely lost and it will remain on your hard disk until something overwrites it. You may be concerned that you won’t be able to retrieve those important data but there is an answer for you, stop what you are doing and call in the data recovery experts.



Data Recovery Experts are able to recover lost data on almost any type or format of modern technology, media and memory storage devices. The definition of Data Recovery is “…Making previously lost or damaged data available again…”. Fortunately, there are lots of Data Recovery Methods and Data recovery Software available in the IT market to help you to get back your lost data and files.

Some major possible reasons for the loss of data:

1. The first and one of the most common reasons of data loss is hardware failure. When powering on your computer you might abruptly hear clicking, buzzing, scrapping and ratting sounds. These are the noises that come when the motor, electronic boards or magnetic platters get damaged due to any electric failure or a head crash. Alternately, the drive might also refuse to spin and results in inaccessible data.

2. Accidental deletion and overwriting is one of the main reason of data loss that more often happens. This event occurs when you overwrite any existing data or emptied the recycle bin. This is the data loss event of human error category.

3. Data loss may also occur due to Operating System failure. Operating system is system software that manages the hardware and enables its communication with software.The operating system corruption may results in cross linked files, lost clusters, file system corruption or invalid file directories. In this situation, strange error messages get generated or many files may get corrupted.

4. Virus attack can be another reason of data loss.

5. Data can also be lost due to some technical defect of failure of some software running on the computer.

These are the main five reasons of data loss, from which you should be aware of to avoid your valuable data from loss. If you have experienced data loss due to any of the reason, you need for data recovery to recover your valuable data.

With Recover Data for FAT & NTFS you are just four steps away from your vital, crucial and confidential data. No need to take your system anywhere for data recovery in case of data loss. Just install Recover Deleted Files and enjoy the retrieval of lost files and folders.
Recover Deleted Files is available at http://www.recoverdatatools.com/recover-deleted-files.html for free evaluation. The Evaluation or Demo version of Recover Deleted Files recover files but restricts the File saving option.
