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.
