Refined Question “What are the best ways to optimize Mozilla Firefox for faster browsing, lower memory usage, and improved stability across different devices?” Key Areas of Optimization - Performance Settings - Disable “Use recommended performance settings” in Firefox preferences to manually adjust hardware acceleration and content process limits. - Hardware acceleration lets Firefox use your GPU for smoother video and animation rendering. Extensions and Add-ons - Limit the number of installed extensions; too many can slow down the browser. - Regularly update or remove unused add-ons. Cache and History Management - Clear browsing data periodically to prevent slowdowns. - Use private browsing or set Firefox to clear history automatically on exit. Updates and Tweaks - Always run the latest version of Firefox for security and performance improvements. - Enable hardware acceleration if not already active. System-Level Adjustments - Close unused tabs and applications to free memory. - Ensure your operating system and drivers (especially graphics drivers) are up to date.
