network.dns option

Unread post by alex04 » 2015-06-15, 14:50

network.dnsCacheExpirationGracePeriod

FF = 60 PM = 2592000

2592000 = 43200 minutes = 720 hours = 30 days

looks like having this option set to 2592000 is not good https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=861273

what is your opinion about this?

Pale Moon handles this differently than Firefox.
The grace period is only used for DNS entries that are known but for which there is no new lookup available right away. It allows DNS entries to be cached and the cached entry to be used while a lookup is fired off in the background to get a fresh result. Basically it is meant to guard you from temporary DNS failures immediately interrupting your browsing session.

Yes. Pale Moon comes with good default values. No need to change anything if you doesn't have realy problems.
