Hey,

to improve / enhance the network settings, you can try the Fasterfox add-on.

Install it from https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox.../9148/

If you have any questions about add-on installation, please read the Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox article.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Mozilla browsers

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Be careful with extensions like Fasterfox that make significant changes to network prefs. Not all sites may work well with such tweaks and by making too many connections to a server you may annoy administrators and get banned.
