What is a reasonable number of extensions to run? I.e., a number that will still keep Firefox fast and stable? And are all extensions equal, in the loads they add, whether to speed or to stability? (I doubt that, come to think of it.) Is there any way to identify, or even guess, which ones are prime candidates for jettisoning? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
