Firefox 2 Tweaks & Tips


Now that Firefox 2 is out, here is a list of some about:config tweaks that you can do to enhance your FF browser experience!

Here is a list from Firefox of tips & tricks.
  • Browser appearance (tabs, icons, etc)
  • Behavior (external links, saving URLs, tweak Find)
  • Other (copy table cells, speed up rendering, etc)
And here is my own tip:
  • Tab "flipping" is the concept that you can activate the most recent active tab by clicking on the currently active tab. I can't stand that new feature in 2.0 (I commonly quickly select the tab and gesture down to close it -- with 2.0 sometimes that click on a tab that I thought was in the background turns out to be on the active tab, which selects *another* tab, and I end up closing that one), so I finally found out a way to turn it off.
    • about:config - filter on "flip". Change extensions.lasttab.enableTabFlipping to false.
