Firefox has always stood out for its customization possibilities. There are thousands of plugins for different purposes, which increase the use of a browser, giving you new features and optimizing some original resources. It is good to remember that the more add-ons are installed, Firefox will be heavier. The first thing you do is a cleaning section add-ons (Tools > Add-ons), disabling or uninstalling extensions that use little, so that the browser is more "loose" to be executed. "Squeeze out" the fullest, to leave active only what is really essential.
