Old computer, Windows XP, 512 MB RAM, Firefox and Internet
Despite the elapsed time, many still use Windows XP. Someone has to work on this OS or maintain such computers, someone may have a hobby of restoring old PCs, some are completely satisfied with Windows XP or, because of their financial or other beliefs, they don’t want to change their old true friend to a new one .
This article may help many owners of old computers to open the "second wind" to their museum exhibits.
Since the optimization of such old equipment is complex, the article will consist of several chapters:
- Firefox
- Browser addons
- Drivers
- WindowsXP
- BIOS
- Hardware Tips
The choice of the browser for XP, as well as its version is difficult to advise if you have, since everyone has different preferences. However, it is advisable to install the latest browser versions supported by your PC, since they will be more compatible with the new web standards being implemented.
')
For example, the HTTP / 2 protocol is supported by browsers based on the Firefox version 36 engine and above. The K-Meleon browser periodically goes out of sleep and the developer (s) recently made a 76 version on the Gecko 38.8.0 ESR engine. Browser PaleMoon 26.5.0 last for XP was released 2016-09-28, its browser has its own engine, but it is also based on the Firefox engine of about that time. Chrome browsers are too heavy for older PCs. Browser Opera 12 is praised by many, but it was released in 2012 and much of the new is no longer able.
The latest ESR versions of Firefox that can be installed on Windows XP are 45.9 (for processors without SSE2) and 52.9 (with SSE2). Also, a sufficiently large number of users have a 38.8ESR version of Firefox installed, from 45 it is not much different, but according to many users it works a little faster than 45. However, starting from version 45, you can add a plug-in to Firefox that allows you to view videos in the browser h .264 / MP4.
48.0.2 is the latest version of the browser from a non-ESR branch, for which you do not need SSE2. In 48.0.2 added partial support for WebExtensions (the ability to install some new extensions in the browser).
52.9 introduced various fixes and performance improvements, improved support for WebExtensions.
Check whether your processor supports SSE2, you can download the program CPU-Z . With this program you can view other parameters of your computer.
At the beginning of the installation of Firefox, select Custom , rather than the usual installation. Then in the subsequent window, uncheck Install Support Service . This service is no longer relevant for Windows XP.
Here are the most understandable settings from about: config

In many cases, setting the correct BIOS can give a small overall performance boost to the computer. This is due, as a rule, to the peculiarities of BIOS firmware for different motherboards. For example, by default, the default BIOS settings may prescribe the values ​​of lowered operating frequencies, modes that are not supported or disabled by Windows XP.
Do not be lazy to rewrite all your BIOS settings to a paper sheet. Then look in Google or Yandex for what they are intended and what values ​​can take. It is advisable to disable in the BIOS those ports and interfaces to which nothing is connected or which you do not use, for example, Floppy, IDE, SATA drives, as well as COM and other ports. If any settings are not clear to you, do not change them.
Finally.
The article is written as an instruction manual for users who do not have extensive computer knowledge. The text describing the settings deliberately simplified to understand them. "Wow" effect after all the above recommendations are possible only under the condition that the PC was in a severely neglected state.
I express my gratitude to users with forum.mozilla-russia.org and forum.ru-board.com , as well as to the site http://www.our-firefox.ru/ who helped me on many incomprehensible issues when writing an article.
Well, an interesting video that I accidentally found in the vast YouTube :)

If you do not use the Search Panel (removed from the address bar)
And when you start the browser, the home page is not " Mozilla Firefox Start Page "
can remove from the list all (except one) search engines
If the Search Bar or the search field on the " Mozilla Firefox Start Page " is used, but you do not need hints when entering words, you can uncheck the "Show search suggestions" box.
You can also disable and attempts to update these search engines (plug-ins) after launching Firefox. In the settings menu Advanced -> Updates in Automatically update, clear the checkbox with " Plugins for search engines ". If the search through the Search Panel or in the “Mozilla Firefox Start Page” ever disappears, you can then update them by turning this option back on. However, these plugins need to be updated very rarely.

Additional
Are common
Use auto scroll
When the scroll button is pressed, moving the mouse scrolls the page.
Use smooth scrolling
On most PC configurations of the P4 level, this setting does not greatly affect performance. On a weaker gland, when turned on, twitching pictures while scrolling can be seen.
Where possible use hardware acceleration
This is a very important browser performance setting. If the video card (even the built-in one) supports DirectX9, I recommend leaving this setting turned on. Sometimes, due to driver errors or for some other reason, Firefox can block the inclusion of hardware acceleration. You can fix this problem by updating the video card driver to the latest version, installing the latest DirectX9.0c and in some cases, if this does not help, you have to force the hardware acceleration in the hidden browser settings. Below I will explain how to do this.
If your video card does not support DirectX9.0c, uncheck this setting.
Check spelling while typing
If you or the person who will use this PC only as a reader, not a writer, you can safely turn off this feature.

Cached Web Content
Settings with which you can set the amount of temporary data downloaded from the Internet, which will then be stored on the hard disk of the computer and which can later be used when re-visiting previously visited sites.
If the Internet is very slow, then it is easier and faster for the browser to get some information from the saved cache than to reload it. However, old mechanical hard drives may run slowly. If you set a large disk cache on such a hard disk, reading and writing data from the cache can be very slow, due to the fact that the recorded small pieces of files will be scattered throughout the disk and the mechanical part of it simply will not have time to rebuild for quick reading. What will ultimately lead to a slow browser and rapid wear of the hard drive.
If you have a mechanical hard drive, check the Disable automatic cache management checkbox and lower in Use for cache no more, set a value of about 50-100 MB.
The faster the speed of the Internet, the less you can select the cache value.
If you have a fairly large amount of RAM installed in the computer, from 1GB, you can switch cache storage from disk to RAM (see the option browser.cache.disk.enable below).

45.9esr, 48.0.2 and 52.9esr
accessibility.force_disabled
Accessibility support . This service may provide certain browser-specific tools to individual add-ons installed in Firefox. If you have never displayed this icon on the tab bar
, it means this service is not used and it can be disabled 1
alerts.disableSlidingEffect
Animation notifications.
Disable true
app.update.checkInstallTime
Responsible for counting days after update.
Disable false
app.update.service.enabled
app.update.staging.enabled

If you have the Mozilla Firefox Start Page homepage. Various searchable information from Mozilla servers can be displayed under the search query field. Removing the link will not load this information.
browser.cache.disk.enable
Parameter responsible for the use of disk cache.
When false is disabled, all temporary files and page elements downloaded from the Internet will be recorded and stored in RAM, and not on the hard disk. Access to RAM is faster, respectively, and the display of web pages can also occur faster.
If you have a slow hard drive, fast unlimited internet and more than 1 - 2 GB RAM, you can try to disable this option. However, after this, be sure to follow up in Task Manager (Alt + Ctrl + Delete) the process of filling the memory while using the browser and other running programs on the computer. Even in the most difficult situations (a large number of simultaneously open tabs in the browser, watching videos, running antivirus, etc.), the amount of free memory should always remain a few hundred megabytes. If you do not, turn back this parameter true
browser.cache.disk.max_chunks_memory_usage
browser.cache.disk.max_priority_chunks_memory_usage * *
Initially, the default was set to cause some problems with the cache. In new versions of Firefox, the value was changed to 40960 . Change 10240 to 40960 in both of these settings.
browser.download.animateNotifications
Turning false off will not display a big blue arrow animation when the file is being uploaded.

services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.safebrowsing.phishing.enabled
Browser protection features against malicious content sites. At the time of official support for Firefox versions 45 - 52.9 worked. The name (URL) of the site that the user visited was checked against the current phishing lists and distributors of various viruses. What helped to protect the computer. However, in the new Firefox links on which the browser accesses special servers have changed, so have the “keys” with which the “dialogue” took place between the browser and these servers. Most likely, if not all, then most of the safebrowsing functions do not work in older versions of Firefox.
Disable them all false , most likely they are already useless.
It is highly recommended to install an alternative to these functions in the browser - an extension, for example uBlock, and in its settings do not turn off the main filter lists (Malware domains, EasyList and RUS: RU AdList).
browser.safebrowsing.downloads.remote.timeout_ms * *
The new versions of Firefox increased the pause time between requests to a special Google server from 10 to 15 seconds. Change the value of 10,000 to 15,000

browser.selfsupport.url
Opinion Firefox users about the browser. Disable removing the link completely
browser.sessionstore.interval
The parameter is responsible for the frequency of saving the session to disk while Firefox is running. The goal is to restore open tabs and typed text in messages that have not yet been sent after the emergency closure of the browser and its restart. This is useful if you often write long text in the browser, and before sending it, Firefox with frequent periodicity spontaneously closes with an error. By default, Firefox saves session data every 15 seconds (value 15000 milliseconds). If your Firefox is okay in terms of stability, you can change the value to 1,800,000 (30 minutes). In some cases, after changing this parameter upwards, the browser works a little faster and less often.
browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser
Check whether Firefox is the default browser.
Disable checking false

browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2
Immediately after launching, Firefox checks the version of Windows (XP in the block list) and extensions for compatibility with the multiprocess mode of the browser. In 48.0.2 and 52esr, multiprocess mode is disabled by default. Disable this false compatibility check.
browser.tabs.remote.force-enable (this parameter is created as a boolean )
Forced inclusion of multiprocess mode in Firefox. The browser and displayed pages generally work faster. However, the memory consumption will increase and the processor will be loaded a little more than usual. Also, when multiprocessing is enabled, some installed add-ons in the browser may work poorly or not at all.
You can read more about what multiprocessing is and how to enable it here https://habr.com/post/355142/
After you turn on true and restart your browser, see if Firefox can handle most of the sites you visit. If something does not suit you in a multiprocess mode of the browser, disable it false

If you do not, turn back this parameter true
browser.cache.disk.max_chunks_memory_usage

Browser protection features against malicious content sites. At the time of official support for Firefox versions 45 - 52.9 worked. The name (URL) of the site that the user visited was checked against the current phishing lists and distributors of various viruses. What helped to protect the computer. However, in the new Firefox links on which the browser accesses special servers have changed, so have the “keys” with which the “dialogue” took place between the browser and these servers. Most likely, if not all, then most of the safebrowsing functions do not work in older versions of Firefox.
Disable them all false , most likely they are already useless.
It is highly recommended to install an alternative to these functions in the browser - an extension, for example uBlock, and in its settings do not turn off the main filter lists (Malware domains, EasyList and RUS: RU AdList).

The goal is to restore open tabs and typed text in messages that have not yet been sent after the emergency closure of the browser and its restart. This is useful if you often write long text in the browser, and before sending it, Firefox with frequent periodicity spontaneously closes with an error. By default, Firefox saves session data every 15 seconds (value 15000 milliseconds). If your Firefox is okay in terms of stability, you can change the value to 1,800,000 (30 minutes). In some cases, after changing this parameter upwards, the browser works a little faster and less often.

browser.tabs.remote.force-enable (this parameter is created as a boolean )
Forced inclusion of multiprocess mode in Firefox. The browser and displayed pages generally work faster. However, the memory consumption will increase and the processor will be loaded a little more than usual.

You can read more about what multiprocessing is and how to enable it here https://habr.com/post/355142/

BIOS setup
In many cases, setting the correct BIOS can give a small overall performance boost to the computer. This is due, as a rule, to the peculiarities of BIOS firmware for different motherboards. For example, by default, the default BIOS settings may prescribe the values ​​of lowered operating frequencies, modes that are not supported or disabled by Windows XP.
Do not be lazy to rewrite all your BIOS settings to a paper sheet. Then look in Google or Yandex for what they are intended and what values ​​can take. It is advisable to disable in the BIOS those ports and interfaces to which nothing is connected or which you do not use, for example, Floppy, IDE, SATA drives, as well as COM and other ports. If any settings are not clear to you, do not change them.
Hardware Tips
Power Supply
The most important detail in the computer. A bad power supply can kill the motherboard and all that is inserted into it. Since your computer and the power supply installed in it are probably not new, I recommend getting the power supply unit out of the case and look at the electrolytic capacitors for swelling. If there are such, it is necessary to replace them with similar ones with the same capacity and the same voltage . New capacitors must necessarily be a series of Low ESR (sometimes on the radio market they are called “low impedance” or “computerized”).
Motherboard
As with the power supply, an initial visual inspection is required. Found swollen capacitors change to the same (capacity, voltage, Low ESR). A battery tablet, provided you do not have a voltmeter to measure its voltage, changes to a new one. Remove from the PCI slots dial-up modem and other devices that you have not used for a long time and will not use.
On some old motherboards, depending on the installed components, it is necessary to install jumpers in certain positions. For this, download the instructions for your motherboard and carefully study it.
If the motherboard supports dual-channel RAM, if possible, install memory bars in the slots so that this mode works.

Finally.
The article is written as an instruction manual for users who do not have extensive computer knowledge. The text describing the settings deliberately simplified to understand them. "Wow" effect after all the above recommendations are possible only under the condition that the PC was in a severely neglected state.
I express my gratitude to users with forum.mozilla-russia.org and forum.ru-board.com , as well as to the site http://www.our-firefox.ru/ who helped me on many incomprehensible issues when writing an article.
Well, an interesting video that I accidentally found in the vast YouTube :)
