Help! 10.04 LTSP becomes very slow to load and operate.

Hi Luke,

Here's what the comments at the top of the
/etc/firefox/pref/firefox.js say (on Lucid):

// This is the Debian specific preferences file for Mozilla Firefox
// You can make any change in here, it is the purpose of this file.
// You can, with this file and all files present in the
// /etc/firefox/pref directory, override any preference that is
// present in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref directory.
// While your changes will be kept on upgrade if you modify files in
// /etc/firefox/pref, please note that they won't be kept if you
// do them in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref.

In Hardy they seem to live under:

/etc/firefox-3.0/pref/firefox.js

The function of the file is the same I believe.

John
