2.Scroll down and look for the following entries:
Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

Set network.http.max-connections: 48

Set network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24

Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12

Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6

Set network.http.pipelining: true

Set network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

3. 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.

4. Lastly open Properties shortcut firefox and add word "/prefetch:1 " at the end of the target url
example:
Target .. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /prefetch:1
