I would like to decide for myself what the best optimisation and performance settings are. How can I override the autoselection of these settings?

Firefox Leistung und Konnektivität

Your current build of firefox runs substantially worse for me than previous versions. I use Firefox because it is non-chromium, which typically offers more user freedom and control, but these new performance settings which cannot be edited individually, but are controlled automatically, are overstepping. Please advise how I can change the settings on a deeper level than simply switching off hardware acceleration. I'd like to limit multiprocessing primarily, but I would also like to have access to other performance settings. Further, I would like to have more control over how Firefox can access my devices. Please advise how I can access and edit the full list of permissions available to Firefox. I ask for this in the interest of transparency and personal data protection.

Thanks for this. Only thing is Im not certain about what each of those configuration settings means. I'm more of a layman in terms of my PC knowledge than Id like to be. Which configuration settings should I be looking for? As in, which are managed specifically by the automantic performance settings?

There's thousand(s) of them.

You can tweak each single one to your liking, but you might need to either study the sources or the history of changesets in releases to help inform specifically what you're looking for — or see if there are previous troubleshooting threads with resulting config sets relevant to the issue at hand if you feel that might be similar to what you're trying to achieve.
