Speed up Firefox and its Video Performance
Firefox is
one of the very popular browsers.
Unfortunately, it has set its
browser performance for common notebook and PCs that usually have lower end CPU and
limited RAM capacity. Nowadays,
many users have upgraded their notebook and PCs. Faster notebook and PCs with bigger RAM capacity
is now a norm rather than an exception.
There is a need to release the power of Firefox for better
performance. This article will cover 2 improvements
that will make Firefox run faster with better video performance.
What are these 2 Improvements ?
1. Making use of excessive RAMs to improve the
speed and response;
2. Making Firefox spending lesser time saving and storing
its WebPages; thus, improving the response and video performance.
