Solve the problem of slow Firefox access speed in Ubuntu

Solve the problem of slow Firefox access speed in Ubuntu + 3

Category: Software tags: Firefox, optimization, acceleration, Firefox 3,642

I just installed my home computerUbuntuBut found to useFirefox is very slow. At first, I thought it was the reason for the low performance of ubuntu installed with wubi, but after switching to chrome, I found that the Internet access speed was very fast. So I thought it was ff.

When FF is used to open the webpage, the status bar below shows that a lot of things are being loaded, and it may be caused by DNS problems. So I checked the information online and found that there was a problem with the domain name resolution (not a problem in fact ). Therefore, you need to set DNS cache for FF to increase the speed. (This is automatically set in win, and we need to manually set it in Ubuntu)

The software we need isDnsmasq,The installation and configuration tutorial is as follows:

1. Install dnsmasq

Sudo apt-Get install dnsmasq

2. Configure dnsmasq

Sudo gedit/etc/dnsmasq. conf

Find

# Resolv-file =

Remove # And add/etc/resolv. dnsmasq. conf after the equal sign

3. Application configuration

Sudo CP/etc/resolv. CONF/etc/resolv. dnsmasq. conf

4. Edit resolv. conf

Sudo gedit/etc/resolv. conf

Remove all domain name servers and add the following lines
Nameserver 127.0.0.1

Save and exit.

5. Configure wvdial

Sudo gedit/etc/PPP/peers/wvdial

Add # Before usepeerdns, that is, overwrite this statement.

In case, the resolv. conf setting is overwritten by pppoe.

Restart your computer. If you do not restart, you will find that the domain name cannot be resolved.
