// PREF: Race Cache With Network (RCWN) [FF59+]
// [ABOUT] about:networking#rcwn
// Firefox concurrently sends requests for cached resources to both the
// local disk cache and the network server. The browser uses whichever
// result arrives first and cancels the other request. This approach sometimes
// loads pages faster because the network can be quicker than accessing the cache
// on a hard drive. When RCWN is enabled, the request might be served from
// the server even if you have valid entry in the cache. Set to false if your
// intention is to increase cache usage and reduce network usage.

### Betterfox Aqua
#### A user.js for Waterfox
Just FYI: There are some long-term issues with Waterfox where the browser doesn't load certain internal settings or resets prefs after restart. For examples, see https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3196 and https://github.com/BrowserWorks/waterfox/issues/3947.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Fork-specific files are side projects and will not update every release. When in doubt, use the standard Firefox user.js.
>
> This is also a reminder that Waterfox is based on the [Firefox ESR](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-esr-release-cycle) release cycle.
