There are many things that can slow down your internet browser. If you use Firefox, one of them is the way the browser keeps a track of what you are doing. Firefox automatically takes a snapshot of your browsing session every ten seconds. It does this so that if Firefox crashes, you'll be able to get back to where you were quickly and easily. But when you view Flash content (eg, YouTube videos), this default snapshot feature can make your video pause and buffer, spoiling your viewing experience. To fix this is not difficult, fortunately. All you have to do is adjust how frequently Firefox creates session restore save points. Doing this might mean that if the browser crashes, a recently opened tab may get left behind, but if you watch a lot of Flash video, this tweak may be a good compromise.
1. Type ‘about:config’ in to the browser address bar and press the return key. This will bring up a bewildering array of Firefox’s more detailed settings.
2. In the the filter box at the top of the page, type in the following command (minus quotes): "browser.sessionstore.interval" (or just scroll down till you find it).
3. Once you find the command, edit the value of 10000 (10 seconds in milliseconds) to something more suitable such as 180000, which is 3 minutes.
