Hello everyone,
I thought it might be useful if we all put together the various tweaks
in firefox that would help an LTSP system. I know there is a list
online here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Firefox3Optimize
but I thought since that document was last edited in 2009 that some
people may have additional items not listed. Here is what I was able
to find from looking around online:
All modifications go into: /etc/firefox/syspref.js
// This file can be used to configure global preferences for Firefox
// Example: Homepage
//pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.weebls-stuff.com/wab/";);
// Disable "safe browsing" feature that hogs CPU, HDD, etc. etc. in LTSP
pref("browser.safebrowsing.enabled", false);
pref("browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled", false);
// Disable "location-bar suggestion" feature that is sludgy with thin-clients
pref("browser.urlbar.maxRichResults", 0);
// Disable offline/disk caching of web pages - good if you have a central proxy
pref("browser.cache.offline.enable", false);
pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false);
// Disable session restore - useful when users log out without closing
Firefox first - saves server
// CPU, memory and bandwidth when they restart Firefox and open up
lots of tabs from previous session
pref("browser.sessionrestore.enabled", false);
// Open search results in new tab
pref("browser.search.openintab", true);
// Reduce number of bookmark backups from 10 to 5
pref("browser.bookmarks.max_backups", 5);
// Reduce number of tabs you an undo after closing from 10 to 3
pref("browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo", 3);
//Reduce maximum number of simultaneous popups from 20 to 3
pref("dom.popup_maximum", 3);
// Increased number of connections from 15 to 24
pref("network.http.max-connections", 24);
If people respond with their recommendations perhaps they can all be
added to a newer wiki page.
Thanks,
Joseph
