  * Notes on how to configure Firefox

====== about:config ======

===== Hardware-specific =====

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

<code>layout.frame_rate</code>

<code>mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount</code>

===== true =====

<code>layers.acceleration.force-enabled</code>

<code>extensions.screenshots.disabled</code>

===== false =====

****

<code>extensions.pocket.enabled</code>

====== Mozilla Firefox ======

===== Settings =====

==== Environment Variables ====

  * 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'

==== Default Profile ====

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

<code>
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=CHANGEME
Default=1</code>

==== user.js ====

  * Last updated: 2021/04/02

  * :!: 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 ((go to Help -> Troubleshooting information (or ''about:support'') and check ''Target Frame Rate''))

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

<code>

/*********
 * 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);</code>

==== Apply Settings ====

  * ''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'
