Can everyone please list there favorite firefox tweaks? These are my favorite tweaks.

Config.trim_on_minimize

true Allow Windows to swap out memory when the program is minimized.

false Prevent Windows from swapping out memory when the program is minimized. (Default)

Enter browser.cache.memory.capacity in the New integer value pop-up box

browser.cache.memory.capacity

in kb

browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers

)In the 'Enter Integer Value' text box, type in:

"0" to disable the firefox cache, change "1" through "8" to set the maximum cache; to "1" through "8" previously viewed pages, enter "-1" to return the cache to default. Enter value without quotation marks.

network.http.pipelining,

True

network.http.proxy.pipelining,

true

network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

8 max, but higher stops at 8

nglayout.initialpaint.delay

Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

I also put all of this in my userChrome.css

/*

/*
 * This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
 * You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
 * override default settings.
 */

/*
 * Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning
 */
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */


/*
 * Some possible accessibility enhancements:
 */
/*
 * Make all the default font sizes 20 pt:
 *
 * * {
 *   font-size: 20pt !important
 * }
 */
/*
 * Make menu items in particular 15 pt instead of the default size:
 *
 * menupopup > * {
 *   font-size: 15pt !important
 * }
 */
/*
 * Give the Location (URL) Bar a fixed-width font
 *
 * #urlbar {
 *    font-family: monospace !important;
 * }
 */

 */
 
/*
 * Remove New Tab Button
 */
 .tabs-newtab-button {display: none;}

/*
 * Show Close Button On Last Tab
 */
.tabbrowser-tabs[closebuttons="alltabs"] > .tabbrowser-tab > .tab-close-button {
 display: -moz-box !important;
 }
 .tabbrowser-tabs:not([closebuttons="noclose"]):not([closebuttons="closeatend"]) >
