1.Type about:config in the adress bar
2.Use the filter box to find the setting browser.sessionstore.interval
3.Edit the default value 10000 (10 seconds in million seconds)
to 180000 which is 3 min.
How does the tweak work?
Firefox takes snapshots of your browser every 10 sec to restore if firefox crashes but slows flash too so this is a slight compromise for fast videos.

I tried some of the changes listed here (not FasterFox, of course) and my made FF run MUCH faster. I only have 512 MB of RAM on my Mac (OS X Tiger) and a slower broadband connection (to save money). The Web suffers from Wirth’s Law. Web pages are now usually 10 times as big as they need to be. Mostly because of Javascript (which is often 90% of a web page), so if you disable Javascript for most sites by using NoScript, they’ll load much faster. You can also use FlashBlock, so that Flash videos will not be downloaded and run unless you explicitly ask for them by clicking on a button that replaces the Flash object.
Or you can just uninstall Flash entirely.

Thanks for the info.
