● Preference Name : browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers
Default value is "-1", change it to "1".
Double click on the number field and insert the new number.

Limits the maximum number of pages stored in memory in such a way that they don’t have to be re-parsed when pressing Back and Forward. If you, like me, are not using the Back and Forward buttons that much but rather tabs then I see no reason for FireFox to keep a lot of memory with this.

● Preference Name : network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
Default value is "6", change it to "8".
Double click on the number field and insert the new number.

This preference takes values between 1 and 255 inclusive, directly corresponding to the maximum number of HTTP keep-alive connections the application can have open at once to a single server.
It is, however, considered poor etiquette to make too many connections to a server and may lead to you being banned from that server. Anything above 10 is excessive.
