Being on the receiving end as the listener may seem boring, but itвЂ™s essential. Quality conversation is about вЂњgive and take.вЂќ Most people, however, want to just give-their words, that is. The thing is, true listening requires work-more work than people are willing to invest. Unfortunately, that is the case for many people. How would you feel if you were sharing a personal story and noticed that the person to whom you were speaking wasnвЂ™t really listening? You probably wouldnвЂ™t be too thrilled. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect. Name it вЂњim_on_minimizeвЂќ and set it to TRUE. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so itвЂ™s definitely worth a go. This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.ДЎ4) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized. ItвЂ™s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Again, go to about:config, filter вЂњbrowser.cacheвЂќ and select вЂњвЂќ. If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.ДЎ3) Limit RAM usage. Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.This will allow it to make 30 requests at once. Type вЂњnetwork.httpвЂќ in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them): Type вЂњabout:configвЂќ into the address bar and hit return.This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, itвЂ™s optimized for dialup connections). If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you want to delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear.ДЎ2) Speed up Firefox. Go to the address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the drop-down menu will appear with the URLs of pages youвЂ™ve visited with those letters in them. But sometimes you just donвЂ™t want those URLs to show up (I wonвЂ™t ask why). FirefoxвЂ™s ability to automatically show previous URLs youвЂ™ve visited, as you type, in the address barвЂ™s drop-down history menu is very cool. Middle click on link (opens in new tab)Д§) Delete items from address bar history.Sometimes youвЂ™re already using your mouse and itвЂ™s easier to use a mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard. Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)Д¦) Mouse shortcuts.Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab).Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard.
