// introduction of Fission [2], the number of website processes is controlled
// by processCount.webIsolated. Disabling fission.autostart or changing
// fission.webContentIsolationStrategy reverts control back to processCount.

// PREF: page reflow timer
// Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user,
// web browsers will periodically render what has been received to that point.
// Because reflowing the page every time additional data is received slows down

// This preference specfies whether that timer is active.

// PREF: notification interval (in microseconds) (to avoid layout thrashing)
// When Firefox is loading a page, it periodically reformats
// or "reflows" the page as it loads. The page displays new elements
// every 0.12 seconds by default. These redraws increase the total page load time.
// The default value provides good incremental display of content
// without causing an increase in page load time.
// [NOTE] Lowering the interval will increase responsiveness
// but also increase the total load time.
// [WARNING] If this value is set below 1/10 of a second, it starts
// to impact page load performance.
// [EXAMPLE] 100000 = .10s = 100 reflows/second

:new: Now with [ESR support](https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/tree/esr115#betterfox-esr).
These prefs are applicable for:
* [Firefox ESR 115.0](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switch-to-firefox-extended-support-release-esr) <sup>[^more info](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle)</sup>

## Made for everyday browsing
**A secure, blazing fast browsing experience. Without breakage.**
Betterfox is an opinionated preference list inspired by the [law of diminishing returns](https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png) and the [minimum effective dose](https://medium.com/the-mission/less-is-more-the-minimum-effective-dose-e6d56625931e).
## Simple goals
1) **Minimalism:** get what isn't needed out of the way
2) **Efficiency:** unleash Firefox's ability to be fast and performant
3) **Privacy:** protect your data without causing site breakage
