Firefox Tricks

All these can be done in making the changes in configuration. You can go there by typing about:config in the url/navigator bar.

1. Open search results in a new Window : This is my favorite tweak, usually when you search in Firefox search bar, they will open in the same tab, but using this you can open them in a new tab.
generally this preference won't be present so you have to create a new one.

* Right click on the about:config
* select new boolean
* name it as browser.search.openintab
* set it to true

2. Increase the size of Tabs of Firefox : On default the tab size of every Firefox tab is 100 but you can change its maximum and minimum size. This registry is already present so it is easy.
- To set maximum size, go to the integer browser.tabs.tabClipWidth and set your own size
- To set minimum size, go to the integer browser.tabs.tabClipWidth and set your own size

3. Enable or disable Firefox suggesting the search words while you are typing in Firefox search bar.
- Go to browser.search.suggest.enabled and set it to true to enable and to false to disable it.

4. Enable or disable Firefox warning on closing the Firefox :
- Go to browser.tabs.warnOnClose and make it true to enable and false to disable it.

5. Enable or disable smooth scrolling in Firefox :
- Go to general.smoothScroll and make it true to enable and false to disable it.

6. Enable or disable auto scrolling in Firefox :
- Go to general.autoScroll and make it true to enable and false to disable it.

7. Enable or disable javascript in Firefox : This is one of the most important and useful firefox registry entry.
- Go to javascript.enabled and make it true to enable and false to disable it.

8. Decrease or increase delay in opening the download manager of Firefox:
- Go to browser.download.manager.openDelay and set the integer value in seconds, I give it zero as I don't want to have a delay in downloading.

9. Enable or disable opening of Bookmarks in a new tab in Firefox :
- Go to browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace and make it true to enable and false to
disable it.

10. Enable or disable automatic resizing of images in Firefox :
- Go to browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing and make it true to enable and
false to disable it. Enjoy!!!
