Tonight I wanted to check and make sure I had hardware acceleration
enabled in SeaMonkey's preferences. After ~20 minutes of searching
through the preferences and through Google search I finally found where
the preference is located:

Appearance->Content: Use Hardware Acceleration when available

This is a un-intuitive location for this preference. Intuitively I
expected the preference for "hardware acceleration" to be located in the
advanced tab? I never expected Hardware Acceleration would have much
connection with the browser appearance and only out of frustration did I
search the appearance tab to see if the preference could be there.
