How to Start Downloading Add-ons Immediately



Add-ons are special features in the Firefox browser. So is your every second. That is why you may not like to wait even for the mandatory 5 seconds / 2 seconds (depending on Firefox version) before downloading any add-on. Why not start downloading add-ons immediately?

Here is how you can do it:

1. Go to Firefox address bar
2. Type about:config, press ENTER
3. At the filter bar, type security.dialog_enable_delay
4. Right click on the result displayed and click Modify
5. >Change the value to '0′

How to Limit Firefox Memory Usage

Do you think that Firefox is slowing your computer down by guzzling lots of memory? Now I will show you a way to reign your Firefox from guzzling up your memory

1. Go to about:config
2. Filter browser.cache and select browser.cache.disk.capacity.
3. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram.

Now you can tell Firefox exactly how much memory it can use. Don't make it too low as that may affect performance

How To Get Rid of The Annoying Scroll Tab Button

One of the most annoying feature of Firefox is that when you start opening more tabs it does not reduce the tab width appreciably. Instead it shows a scrollbar so you can scroll to find your tabs. With lots of tabs, it is mighty inconvenient and hard to navigate using the scrollbar. Suppose at some point of time you have a lot of websites to surf through and you have opened all of them with tabs. How annoying will it be to press the scroll button every time you need to go to one website from another? It would be much easier if Firefox reduced the width of tabs to lower than 100px instead. To solve this problem and get rid of the scrollbar here is a simple trick:

1. Go to Fireox address bar
2. Type about:config, press ENTER
3. At the filter bar, type browser.tabs.tabMinWidth
4. Right click on the result displayed and click Modify
5. Change it to 0 (by default its 100). You are done.

Note: You can reduce the minimum width to 50px, 60px, anything you like. The lesser the number is, more tabs can show without having to use dreaded scroll bar.

How to Navigate Tabs from Keyboard

Usually the most used and arguably the most important feature of Firefox is tabs so much so that Microsoft was forced to imitate it in IE 7. Suppose you are surfing a number of websites at a time, but to navigate between them you would normally use a mouse to switch between tabs. Not any more. Here are some cool tab navigation techniques using just your keyboard:

* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs; when it reaches the last tab, it moves forward to the first tab)
* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab; similar to above, Ctrl-Shift-Tab from first tab will take you to the last tab)
* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a tab to jump to by number)

How To Type URL Very Fastly

You don't have to type a http://www. and then the website name followed by .com to enter go to a website as before. Now you can just type the name and Firefox will do the rest. Let me show you with a simple example:

Type taragana and then press Ctrl + Enter and you are done!

Firefox will convert taragana to http://www.taragana.com internally and take you to the website.

Note:

* For.net addresses, press Shift-Enter.
* For .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter


How to Move or Remove The 'close tab' Button

Do you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You can move them or even remove them, again through about:config. Edit the preference for browser.tabs.closeButtons. Here are the meaning for each value:

* 0 - Display a close button on the active tab only
* 1 - (Default) Display close buttons on all tabs
* 2 - Don’t display any close buttons
* 3 - Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)
