Answer 1

download the tweak network ,fasterfox lite,and extra faster fox addon for firefox



installing addons are ridiculously easy.(In case you don't use them.)



Upgrade to the final release of firefox by going to

Fastest fox helps you find info faster but it will not speed up firefox.

Answer 2

Run a virus scan on your computer. If your virus and spyware protection are up-to-date, the scan will detect any offenders and remove them from your computer.



Unplug your modem and wait a minute. Many times resetting a modem will fix the slow Internet connection.



Perform a system restore on your computer. This allows you to undo any harmful changes that you have made to your computer that could be causing the slower Internet.



Free up space on your hard drive. Routinely removing temporary Internet files and programs that you no longer use will help keep your computer running efficiently.



Test your connection. Many Internet providers will allow you to use their site to check to make sure that there is not a problem with your connection.
