    Locate the Preference Name javascript.options.jit.content.

    Neither key exsists in FF 3.1

  • Locate the Preference Name javascript.options.jit.chrome.
    Locate the Preference Name javascript.options.jit.content.

I mean, I have enabled both options(the truth is that in 3.1b2pre ----- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081107 Minefield/3.1b2pre, the option:'javascript.options.jit.content.' is already enabled by default, so just enabled the "....chrome" .I have already seen an important increase at speed, but I need to know how it is achieved.I mean, where's the catch?
  • Google JIT or Tracemonkey

    There is no catch
  • FF is not troubling me now .............Thanks
  • Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20081208 Minefield/3.2a1pre

    This doesn't seem to make a difference for me, tested using sunspider javascript benchmark.
  • 8. If things break, remember what you did in #3.
