It looks like there was a mozilla project to figure out the best settings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Dory I have no idea what a "Hasal test framework" is, but their idea of "extreme" doesn't match mine: - The tests are conducted using default values of the prefs along with 2 extreme values in 2 directions (larger and smaller). - network.buffer.cache.size for most test cases, the default (32768) performs similarly with a larger value (65536). One item not on their list that used to make a difference is network.http.request.max-start-delay but with pipelining / spdy / http2 or moz bumping up the default # of connections however long ago it might not make any difference now. In any case, making a list of setting changes that might help is a good idea. Items mentioned so far are: browser.cache.disk.enable = 0 (false) browser.cache.memory.capacity = 4194304 (4 GB) browser.cache.memory.max_entry_size = -1 (no per entry limit) network.buffer.cache.size = 262144 (256 kB) network.buffer.cache.count = 128 network.http.pipelining = true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 64 Did I miss any?
