Is it normal for firefox to have super high cpu utilization?
Dave Yeo:
Dariusz, I'm away right now. You should be able to go to about:support and see the preferences you have changed and I think export then.
Eugene, many of these tricks, no script, ublock_origin and such have been talked about for years. Along with changing user agent, turning off CSS and such. They have become less helpful as our browser simply doesn't support so much stuff. I still do quite a bit with SM, which is basically the same as FF for rendering. But yes, less and less works

Hey Eugene!

Why this information was not distributed among OS/2 users?
We suffer all this time.. during the last 8 years.

Well, I would say this information has been out there in one form or another for quite some time now. Heck, I'm sure a lot of it can be found on this very forum...but I will agree with you, we always lacked a uniform "one source of recommendations" that would touch on all of these.
For me it's been a story of changing things little-by-little, testing over a few days (sometimes), and either keeping the profile settings, or reverting back to default.
Dave's hint is good but unfortunately the "about:support" does not provide the full listing that "about:config" does...so instead I've pulled the stuff from prefs.js file and removed the private stuff.
Given how old our FF is, it is becoming difficult to even find the correct Mozilla Dev references to all of these preferences...still, worth a shot.
