Have you, at one point, experienced a slow connection? Want to know how to speed up Firefox? Below are some Firefox speed tweaks to help improve the browser's performance:

1. Clear the cache. Manually clear your cache by clicking Tools on the upper portion of your screen. From the Tools menu, select Clear Private Data. Go to Settings afterwards and reduce the size of your cache to around 50 MB.
2. Get rid of toolbars and plugins. Surely, they make your web surfing easier but if Firefox gets overloaded with these add-ons, it will run slower. It's best to cut down on these features especially if you rarely use them.
3. Clean the registry. The registry is the central database of your computer. It includes all necessary information for the computer to run including that of your web browser. Certainly, it contains loads of Firefox related files and processes. Over time, these files become corrupted because of redundant and obsolete registry entries. This in turn make the registry congested thus slowing your Firefox browser. It helps then to have a registry cleaner installed in order to clean those junk taking up the space in your registry.

If you want to speed up your Firefox, follow these three steps. Unfortunately whole the first two are rather easy, the third step will require help. It is nearly impossible to clean the registry on your own unless you are a computer expert. But with the right software, you can scan your system and make Firefox faster in minutes!
