How to make flash videos load faster on Firefox - Don Corleone - 07-10-2011

Here's a cool trick to watch flash videos faster on firefox.
1.Type about:config in the adress bar
2.Use the filter box to find the setting browser.sessionstore.interval
3.Edit the default value 10000 (10 seconds in million seconds)
to 180000 which is 3 min.


How does the tweak work?
Firefox takes snapshots of your browser every 10 sec to restore if firefox crashes but slows flash too so this is a slight compromise for fast videos.

This is pretty clever but if your browser crashes with a load of tabs open you wont be able to restore them I think Tongue

I have never had a problem restore all my tabs. I think it would just depend on how many of those tabs had flash videos.
