So, for all those people that suffer from poor Firefox performance on #OpenBSD.

Here is my recipe. I did not do any professional comparisons. It's just my personal feeling that FF feels much more snappy:

1. Increase OS resource limits -----> https://www.c0ffee.net/blog/openbsd-on-a-laptop/.

2. Go to Betterfox site -----> https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox.

3. Copy user.js content from above repo and create user.js file in your profile directory (/home/$username/.config/mozilla/firefox/profile.$name).

4. Paste below if your GPU is supported in "My overrides" section:

user_pref("identity.fxaccounts.enabled", false);
user_pref("layers.acceleration.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webgpu.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.compositor.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled", true);
user_pref("gfx.webrender.all", true);

Profit ! Doing above increased speed of my Firefox install at least twice. YMMV.

Please don't kill me

EDIT: No need to install any SomethingFox

@as400 I guess I should try this on #Librewolf on #Freebsd even if I don't feel any performance issue...!
