firetune 1.2 basically does the same thing that fullspeed 3.3 and all the other firefox optimizers do
OPTIMIZE YOUR CONNECTION
but personally i think this is the best optimizer by far for firefox version 3.X

By default, Firefox has got a little feature known as TraceMonkey (which by default is disabled). But what the heck is it? TraceMonkey is a compiler whose goal is to improve JavaScript performance by up to a factor of seven. As a result, the user should experience a faster “Red Fox” as far as surfing is concerned . Here is the trick to turn TraceMonkey on.
Type about:config in the Address bar and press Enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
In the filter textbox, add bollean javascript.options.jit.chrome
Double-click on the value javascript.options.jit.chrome to turn it on (true)If you don’t like the way your Firefox download manager acts, here are some useful tricks to make it smarter, lighter and behave the way YOU want. By default, all the stuff you download from the Internet is automatically added to Recent Items folder on Windows’ Start menu (did you know that?). If you don’t like the idea that people, using your computer, can find out what you just downloaded, here is how to block this dangerous Firefox download manager behaviour.
In your Firefox address bar, type: about:config and press enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
Type browser.download.manager.addToRecentDocs in the Filter.
Double-click on it to set it to false.
When you shut Firefox down, all active downloads are paused and resumed automatically next time you turn the browser on. To prevent this behaviour:
In your Firefox address bar, type: about:config and press enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
Type browser.download.manager.quitBehavior in the Filter.
Double-click on it and set the value to: 1 if you don’t want Firefox to resume download automatically, 2 if you wish to delete all active download once you close Firefox.
After a download is over, the download manager logs it until you decide to clear the download history. To delete such entries once the download is over or as soon as you quit Firefox follow these steps:
In your Firefox address bar, type: about:config and press enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
Type browser.download.manager.retention in the Filter.
Double-click on it and set the value to 0 to delete download entries as soon as they are completed, 1 as soon as you quit the browser.Reduce the amount of the storage memory. Firefox is a greedy Fox. It likes to use a lot of memory to store the stuff it gets from the Internet. The more stuff it keeps, the more it becomes sluggish. If you want to reduce the size of its storage memory, in the address bar type: about:config and press Enter. Now click the button I’ll be careful I promise. In the filter bar type browser.cache.disk.capacity and press Enter. Double click on the value and change the capacity of the disk cache.
Firefox has got a nice feature which downloads all of those pages which thinks may be useful to its users in order to open them quickly upon request. Of course, this is one of those features which is well appreciated, since it is supposed to help people improve their Internet experience. But in an Internet world where almost everybody has got a cheap ADSL connection, well, this prefetching thing doesn’t make a lot of sense. Furthermore, Prefetching uses a lot, really a lot of resources from your computer, and this may result in a poor PC performance. If you want to disable it, here is a simple trick to follow.
Type about:config in the Address bar and press Enter.
A message saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click onthe button to confirm.
Type network.prefetch-next in the Filter field.
Double click on the item to change it into false.If you have Firefox you should know what happens right after you download a file. Right before the download window disappears, a new message shows up saying “Scanning for viruses”. Don’t get me wrong, this is OK, extremely OK. Firefox cares for your computer and doesn’t want it to take any nasty virus. Anyway this procedure is fine if you download small files. But what happen if you download a file as heavy as 300 MB? Simple, the “Scanning for viruses” will hang on for some minutes before allowing you to use the file. If you don’t want this nagging feature anymore, here is a simple trick to turn it off once for good.
In the address bar type about:config and press Enter
Right after that you should see the following message: “This might void your warranty! Changing these advanced settings can be harmful to the stability, security, and performance of this application. You should only continue if you are sure of what you are doing.”
Click the “I’ll be careful, I promise” button.
In the filter bar now type: browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone and hit Enter.
Double click on the value to change it to False.If you are a web writer, of if you happen to write a lot while in the Internet, then you may find this trick quite interesting. As a matter of fact, Firefox 3 (and Firefox 2 also) has got a nice Spellchecker among its features. To enable it, just follow this simple procedure.
Type about:config in the Address bar and press Enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
Type layout.spellcheckDefault in the Filter field.
Under the Filter field the preference layout.spellcheckDefault should appear. Click on it.
Set the value equal to 2 to enable spell checking in single-line line controls.There are really no limits to the way you can tweak, hack and improve Firefox 3. That’s why I really like it and prefer, without a second thought, to the slower and buggy Microsoft Internet Explorer. Today I want to speak of a little trick which lets you surf faster by loading web-pages quickly. Before start writing the procedure down, I want to remind you that, if you want to surf faster, there is also a trick for Windows Vista which, if combined to this add-on and the trick this post talks about, should give you good results. [Here is the article for improving your Internet experience in Vista. Ok, back on track with this post. Here is the procedure to follow to download websites faster in Firefox.
Type about:config in the Address bar and press Enter.
A message followed by a button saying “I’ll be carefull. I promise!” should appear. Click on it.
Type network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining in the Filter field.
Under the Filter field the preferences should appear . Click on them and set them to true
Type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests in the Filter field. Under the Filter field the preference should appear. Click on it and set the value to 10 or to whatever value to wish (anyway no more than 30). This means it will make 10 requests at once to the responding server.
At this point right-click anywhere on the Firefox blank window and select New followed by Integer . Set the value to 0. This value determines the time that the browser waits before it acts on the information it gets.One of the most exciting new features in Firefox 3 is, without any doubt, the new Location Bar also known as Smart Location Bar (address bar), used to type and display the complete URL of websites. As a matter of fact, this new bar not only shows in its drop-down list the URL of the page you are visiting, but it also displays recently visited sites, typed URL, your bookmarks, page titles and tags. By default, the Smart location Bar gives you a maximum of 12 entries. If you want to change this figure to display as many results as you like, here is a simple trick to apply.
Type about:config in the Address Bar.
Click I’ll be careful, I promise! button to gain access to Firefox configuration page.
Look for browser.urlbar.maxRichResults in the list.
When you get it, double click on the browser.urlbar.maxRichResults.
Now change the number (the default number should be 12) to whatever number you like.
Click OK.So, the new Firefox 3 is out with all its nice and wonderful features and improvements, but not all of us appreciate its sytle and novelties. For example the back button. OK, it is is quite handy, easy to spot and well, it is really impossible to miss it, right? But what if we want it to be just a little smaller? Here is the free trick to adjust its size.
Right-click on Firefox’s toolbar.
Click on Customize.
In the Customize Toolbar window, tick Use small icons.
Done!
