As an attempt to defeat <\/span>Google Chrome<\/b>, which is often termed as the best one when it comes to the browser niche, <\/span>Mozilla<\/b> launched a new browser named <\/span>Firefox Quantum<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Quantum<\/b>, which was released less than a year ago, left people astounded with its great performance. The new browser gives an eminent performance in terms of browsing experience, mainly because of its latest features and advancements.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the easiest ways to keep your browser\u2019s performance smooth is to regularly clean its cache. Doing so will ensure that any corrupt temporary files that may have formed as cache are removed from the system. This applies to all browsers, including <\/span>Quantum<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although <\/span>Quantum<\/b> is widely applauded for its performance, a few users complained that its speed (determined by factors such as page loading times) was often lower than the levels set by various other parameters of its valuable performance. We all know how frustrating it is when a page takes a little more time than usual to load completely. However, we do have solutions for that!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Solutions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Increasing the Content Process Limit<\/b><\/h3>\n

The multiple process technology present in <\/span>Firefox Quantum<\/b> enables a browser to use multiple content processes simultaneously. While the default number of content processes is set at <\/span>4<\/b>, you can manually alter this number and increase it up to <\/span>7<\/b>. In order to do so, first click on the <\/span>Options<\/b> section. Then, go to <\/span>Performance<\/b>. Next, deselect the <\/span>Use recommended performance settings<\/b> option.<\/span> Now, take a look at the <\/span>Content Process Limit <\/b>drop-down box and you will be able to select the number <\/span>7<\/b> instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, depending on the features of a computer system, the effects of increasing this limit might vary. Your browser might show unexpected behavior or might even crash. If anything similar happens, you are suggested to decrease the content process limit till the point you feel that your system is now stable.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Using a Better Ad-blocker<\/b><\/h3>\n

The fact that <\/span>AdBlock<\/b> is the most commonly used ad-blocker these days certainly does not prove that it is the best option available in the market. <\/span>Quantum<\/b> users are suggested to try <\/span>uBlock<\/b>. According to experts, <\/span>uBlock<\/b> enables the browser to run faster while putting less strain on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disabling Add-Ons and Flash<\/b><\/h3>\n

Even today, most of the videos on different websites require <\/span>Adobe Flash Player<\/b> to run. Due to this, a page that has a video content on it takes more time to load, even if you are not interested in watching that specific content. This applies to online advertisements as well. To have a complete control over what content you wish to watch, you can alter the <\/span>Flash<\/b> settings by selecting <\/span>Click to Play<\/b>. To enable this setting, first go to the <\/span>Plug-ins <\/b>menu. Next, select <\/span>Ask to Activate<\/b> using the drop-down menu available for <\/span>Flash<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Add-ons also increase page loading times. To avoid this, head to <\/span>Add-ons<\/b> in the <\/span>Add-ons Manager<\/b> section and remove all unnecessary ones.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disabling Animations<\/b><\/h3>\n

Since animations are usually highly graphic, they are considered to have a larger file size. Due to this, a page with animations present on it is likely to have a longer loading time. Experts suggest that if animations are disabled, a browser\u2019s speed can be enhanced. This can be done by first having a look at the <\/span>about:config<\/b> page. Here, you have to look for the <\/span>browser.tabs.animate<\/b> option. Doing so will allow you to browse the internet smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n
