Firefox Speed Tweaks

I've always been skeptical of tips for speeding up your software. So when The Boy Genius Report put out this set of set of tips for speeding up Firefox, I wasn't expecting much. Still I did try them and was pleasantly surprised to see that Firefox did perform a little better on my two laptops. As with all such tips, they require you to mess with files that are best left alone, in this case, Firefox's about:config settings. Anyway, the tips worked for me and if you know what you're doing, they are worth trying.
