Quick Tip: Speed Up Firefox Data Entry

by Christopher Null  /  October 18, 2012

I work pretty much all day in Firefox and big text fields in WordPress. Some strange bug between the two causes performance to bog down, especially when (oddly) deleting text.

Finally I’ve found what looks like a solution.

In Firefox, click Tools > Options.

Under the Advanced section, click the General tab. Uncheck the box next to “Use hardware acceleration when available.”

Reboot and be happy.
