Yet another fine blog…. 😅

About:Firefox

Coming soon… To a theater near you. 😆 Meanwhile (do your own research. 😉 ):

• https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+optimize+firefox+ubuntu

• firefox-about-config-edits-manjaro-linux

Go to Edit>Preferences>Network>Connection>Settings, and set to ‘No proxy’

network.dns.disableIPv6
network.dns.disablePrefetch

We’re not using IPv6 (nope, not yet we ain’t), and neither do we wish to broadcast every page we might, or might not want to visit, thank you very much. I.e. Set both booleans to true!

network.http.max-connections.
network.http.max-connections-per-server
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server

Set to the following integers.

48
16
8
4

YMMV though. Dare to experiment, and see what fits your situation best!? I truly, and really don’t want to help you with that. 😆 As they say: “ You’re own your own here. ” But fret not, I have been using these settings (and some more), and have noticed my firefox being much faster, and way more responsive than before I did all those. 😉

network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.ssl

Set to true.

network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set to true.

network.prefetch-next

Set to false. My connection is fast enough, to fetch the page(s) I click on. Those don’t include the ones, containing all those nice advertisements (nobody asked for, but seem to pay the bill for some webmasters 😆 ). If I want to broadcast my likes and preferences, I’ll be sure to grab my own megaphone, and start shouting those off of all the rooftops I can find. ← Pictures not included. 😆

browser.sessionstore.interval

Set to the following integer:

240000

mousewheel.acceleration.factor
mousewheel.acceleration.start

Set to the following integers:

5
3

Create the following keys, either boolean or integer, by rightclicking anywhere in your about:config window:

content.interrupt.parsing
content.max.tokenizing.time
content.max.textrun
content.notify.backoffcount
content.notify.interval
content.notify.ontimer
content.switch.threshold

And set them to:

true
2250000
8191
5
750000
true
750000

general.useragent.enable_overrides
general.useragent.override

Set the first to true, and the second to … For example:

true
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0

While I’d like to believe, that I’m a beautiful, and unique snowflake, and therefore special, I’d rather blend in, and be part of a beautiful snow valley instead.

Anyway!

That’s all folks! 😆
