Re: [FireFox] Tweaking Firefox for Fun & Speed

Thanks, for this and all of your (and Sir Raleigh's) help and support of this forum.

One question, should we uninstall FasterFox before making these tweaks? It sounds like it won't be needed.

Re: [FireFox] Tweaking Firefox for Fun & Speed

Yes, I would uninstall FasterFox.

Each time Firefox loads it reads, if it's there, the three files; user.js, userChrome,css, and userContent.css and adds the contents to whatever area within Firefox it's designed for. If you have FasterFox installed it could then overwrite the changes you made in user.js/about:config negating your changes.

For changes to about:config, I've always used user.js and then save a copy elsewhere. That way you will always have a record of what changes you've made to about:config without having to remember these changes. Also, if the "perfs.js" file (which is the about:config entries) ever gets corrupted and you reinstall Firefox or have to create a new Profile again you can just place a copy of your user.js file back in your Profiles root directory and when you start Firefox everything's back the way it was.

I finally decided to remove it as well. Plus one of the settings is incorrect in the extension. Probably best to set it yourself just like above.

Oh thanks Grail Knight See Profile feel better.

You do not need Fasterfox using the tweaks I posted.
