Firefox – Speed up FireFox when using TOR

firefoxprivacyspeedtor

After reading this question about surfing the web anonymously, I tried TOR with Firefox and it seems to be changing the original IP, but Firefox is really slow!

I have a good network speed, and I've never waited more than 3 seconds for a page to load, but with TOR activated I feel that for Google to load it's like eternity.

So, is there any configuration or workaround concerned TOR to speed up things a little?

[EDIT]

since it has to be like that, are there any alternatives to TOR out there?

Unfortunately because of the way tor works by routing your traffic through multiple nodes in the tor network your speed is dependant on the slowest point in its journey.
