• Notes on how to configure Firefox

• 40 is a good starting point for mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount; make sure smooth scrolling is enabled

layout.frame_rate

mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount

layers.acceleration.force-enabled

extensions.screenshots.disabled

extensions.pocket.enabled

• Enables hardware acceleration, smooth-scrolling, and EGL
• WebRenderer requires the previous MOZ_ACCELERATED variable as well

echo -e 'export MOZ_ACCELERATED=1\nexport MOZ_WEBRENDER=1\nexport MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1\nexport MOZ_X11_EGL=1' | sudo tee '/etc/profile.d/firefox-hwaccel.sh' > '/dev/null' && cat '/etc/profile.d/firefox-hwaccel.sh'

sudo -e '/etc/profile.d/firefox-hwaccel.sh'

rm -fv '/tmp/profiles.ini' && nano '/tmp/profiles.ini' && sed -i 's/'CHANGEME'/'$USER'/g' '/tmp/profiles.ini'

[General]

• IPv6 is disabled in order to prevent WebRTC from grabbing an IPv6 address even though NetworkManager has it disabled
• media.peerconnection.enabled disables WebRTC
• layout.frame_rate needs adjusted for displays with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz ¹⁾

rm -fv '/tmp/user.js' && nano '/tmp/user.js'

/*********
 * Video *
 *********/

user_pref("media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled", true);
user_pref("media.ffvpx.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.rdd-vpx.enabled", false);
user_pref("media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled", true);

• Path should report the current user's username, and the text Custom Stuff should be visible
• If Firefox doesn't open automatically, firefox -p default must be ran the first time Firefox is started after this command

ls '/tmp/profiles.ini' '/tmp/user.js' && pkill -f 'firefox' && rm -Rfv ~/'.mozilla' && sync && mkdir -p ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER && mv '/tmp/profiles.ini' ~/'.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini' && mv '/tmp/user.js' ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER'/user.js' && sync && cat ~/'.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini' | grep $USER && cat ~/'.mozilla/firefox/'$USER'/user.js' | grep 'Custom Stuff' && sleep '1' && sync || firefox -p 'default'
