Firefox
From Wiki
I like Firefox overall, but am annoyed by its "Not responding" delays when loading certain pages, and by its locking up when I download something.
Googling for solutions, I am trying various things:

Advice from Mozilla/Firefox themselves

Check that extensions are causing a problem
Start> Mozilla Firefox> Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
about:config settings
- browse to "about:config"
- Set network.http.max-connections higher e.g. to 48
- Set network.http.max-connections-per-server higher e.g. 24
- Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy higher e.g. 12
- Set network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server higher e.g. 6
- Set network.http.pipelining to “true”
- Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.
- Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to “true”
- Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” ( without qoutes ) and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives
Alternative browsers
If I give up, maybe I'll try some other browsers.
