// PREF: Modify Firefox responsiveness while rendering
|
||
// WARNING: After nglayout.initialpaint.delay has been created and modified, Firefox may speed up rendering while annoying you with
|
||
// constant adjustments as you scroll through that new content. The preference content.switch.threshold controls Firefox
|
||
// responsiveness to your input (i.e. responsiveness to the UI) at the expense of slightly slowing the page load. Since
|
||
// you’ve already minimized the page load time, that shouldn’t be too much of a sacrifice.
|
||
|
||
// Firefox has two modes of user interaction with web pages that are still loading: high frequency interrupt mode and
|
||
// low frequency interrupt mode. The high mode better tolerates user interactions with the content. What this controls is
|
||
// the number of microseconds of inactivity that will activate low frequency interrupt mode. In other words, it controls how long
|
||
// you have to do nothing before Firefox assumes you are waiting for the whole page to load.
|
||
|
||
// Firefox is configured to apply low frequency mode after 0.75 seconds of user inactivity. Every time the browser goes to
|
||
// low frequency mode, it becomes faster at loading pages. Therefore, it is beneficial to reduce the time it takes for FF
|
||
// to enter low frequency mode. Thus, a value of 0.25 seconds (250000 ms) should be fine for that purpose.

||

|
||
// the page is refreshed, and the default interval for this function is set to 0.12 seconds (in other words, the page displays
