How to force Firefox to use the power of my PC?

Post by MetalFan777 »

How can i make Firefox use up my RAM and use all of the power of my CPU?
I am running a script on the Greasemonkey to clean up my Facebook, but it is really slow.
And Firefox is freezing with a message saying, the script is slowing down Firefox, close it or continue. I jus ignore that, but it shows that Firefox is not using the strengt of my computer to run this script.
I dont have the best computer, just a Intel Core i7 8700K with 32 Gig of RAM.
But why does not Firefox use this?

What version of FF?

Might try increasing the value of the Pref, dom.max_script_run_time, to a higher number, say, 72 & see if that helps (alleviate the script error warning).
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Thanks.

Firefox is the latest version.
Greasemonkey is 4.3
The script is the one they have linked to at hhis site:

I found out something, and that is that haveing Facebook in other than English is interfering in the work of the script somehow.
How do i shange the "dom.max_script_run_time" number?

about:config
Note that the default is what it is & I'm only suggesting the change to try, in conjunction with the particular issue you're running into - not something you would want to do as a matter of course.
