Super useful: Make Firefox stop skipping and sputtering while playing your flash videos and games

We get a lot of questions and feedback skipping, lag, or whatever you'd like to call it). A lot of it is beyond our immediate control because it has to do with browsers, internet connections, and resources used by a user's computer, but we're always on a lookout for ways to keep lagging/stuttering to a minimum.

People of Earth, there is hope.

If you use Firefox, please check out this Lifehacker post on tweaking Firefox to minimize "jumpiness" in Youtube, which should apply to JamLegend: http://lifehacker.com/5342636/how-to-fix-annoying-youtube-jumpiness-in-firefox. Basically, Firefox saves what's going on in your browser in case there is a crash, and this activity causes interruptions when you're playing anything Flash-related (including JamLegend!). You can reset how often Firefox saves the info to minimize the lag.

This involves editing the about:config settings in your Firefox. Please read the Mozilla.org page on about:config before doing the tweak if you haven't worked with this aspect of Firefox before. Please refer to Firefox's support page if you need more help.
