r3dfox, a modern Firefox based web browser for Windows Vista, 7, and 8!

In the past there existed a project in FF for Multicore-Support - because of the fanatic security madness the project was cut out of FF!

Multicore-Support would be cool!

I'm pretty sure modern Firefox has multicore support?

Strange, but it would be better, if it would be a deactivable option under Browser Privacy!!!

In FFdev 115.0b9
under about:config the rest of it looks so:

multicore Boolean Number String

in r3dfox-144.0.1 nothing!!!

How to upload an image to the board?

It's kinda broken just use catbox.moe for now.

The board is currently very slow!!!

For now just remove the line and it will stick with custom

Yes, that fixed it

That fixed it too

FYI to prevent fingerprinting I'm using CanvasBlocker extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/canvasblocker/

Tip: to allow smilies to work on this forum with CanvasBlocker add eclipse.cx to the Window API list by clicking on "+" and then remove its checkmark.
It should be the same with any other phpBB forum.

It's asking you to create this key because no key containing "multicore" exists at all.
With the default about:config of R3dfox, which looks and acts like the "old" one, you need to right click on the board and then select New like this:

Or as a workaround: use about:confignew instead.

BTW I've checked several Firefox versions and also LibreWolf and Tor Browser and none of them has a key containing "multicore".

For real Multicore-Support there is a little much more work and you need to go in to the deep of FF!!!

What all have you deactivated?

Give the user the choice to deactivate Options (include Autoplay) and at remaining Permissions and AI the choice to activate - then all are happy

Only a idea : AI under Permissions

I think it would be the best to take the Base from r3dfox-143 and make the changes in a better way!!!
