Diff for "DotFiles/Firefox"

Differences between revisions 4 and 26 (spanning 22 versions)

One of the largest reasons I use Mozilla Firefox is its huge universe of extensions, scripts, and other add-ons which can make it behave the way you want it to. I've customized my Firefox installation pretty extensively.

This list is current as of Firefox 3.5.

Extensions

Customization

Web development

Firebug
Web Developer
Google's Page Speed. I previously used Yahoo's YSlow, but switched because Page Speed is open-source. Functionality is mostly equivalent, and I honestly don't use the extension enough to notice the differences.
ColorZilla
Rainbow

Other stuff

Privacy

BetterPrivacy removes Flash LSOs and other tracking cookies
Flashblock

UI and Behavior

KDE integration add-ons

FirefoxNotify, which replaces PlasmaNotify
KDE wallet password integration
xclear adds a clear button to URL and search fields, ala Qt/KDE text fields

Mozilla/Mozilla Labs

Preferences

user.js settings I use:

Setting	Value	Rationale
browser.fullscreen.autohide	false	Prevent tab/URL bar from auto-hiding in full-screen mode
image.animation_mode	once	Animated GIFs only animate once
layout.css.dpi	0	Use system-reported DPI, always (normal behavior may sometimes use 96 DPI)
layout.spellcheckDefault	2	Enable spell checking for both INPUT and TEXTAREA fields
ui.caretBlinkTime	0	Disable cursor blinking
ui.allow_platform_file_picker	false	Don't use the horrid GTK file picker
network.http.pipelining	true	Increase network performance
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests	8
network.http.pipelining.ssl	true
network.http.proxy.pipelining	true
network.protocol-handler.external.mailto	true
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns	true
nglayout.initialpaint.delay	100
browser.ssl_override_behavior	2	Turn off annoying SSL certificate behavior
browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert	true	Turn off annoying SSL certificate behavior
browser.backspace_action	1
security.dialog_enable_delay	0	No wait when prompted to install unsigned extensions
