Faster Firefox browsing in Ubuntu
Disabling IPv6 seems to speed up Firefox on Ubuntu significantly. I found this tip at techxplorer.com
Open a new tab by typing Ctrl-t
- (That’s the Ctrl key on your keyboard and the letter t key at the same time)
- Enter about:config in the address bar of Firefox
- Enter ip into the Filter: text box
- Look for the network.dns.disableIPv6 entry in the table below the Filter: text box
- Double click the network.dns.disableIPv6 entry
- Restart Firefox
