To know which one you need to choose it goes like this. Choose integer if the value you are going to add is a number and choose boolean if the value you are adding is "true" or "false" statement.

* network.http.proxy.pipelining=true
* network.http.pipelining.maxrequests=8
* content.notify.backoffcount=5
* plugin.expose_full_path=true
* ui.submenuDelay=0
* content.interrupt.parsing=true
* content.max.tokenizing.time=2250000
* content.notify.interval=750000

* network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy=16

Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

While there are some extensions and improvements that have been made with Firefox since some of these tweaks were first posted on the net I have found that they really do speed up Firefox noticeably
