Firefox tweaking
I haven't used Firefox for more than a week, but allready I'm starting to like it, and I've done some tweaking to it :) Here's some of the stuff I've collected to improve Firefox the past week: Addons:
about:config user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);user_pref("layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word",true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
Note: Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.
about:config tweaks ripped from CodeBetter. To get more "screen space", I have moved the adress field and search box next to the menu (just right of Help). To do this, right click anywhere on the toolbar and drag the fields where you want them. Also, I removed the bookmarks toolbar by going to View - Toolbars and deselecting it. Since I'm using the del.icio.us addon, I'm not showing any addons, but I'm displaying my favorite tags next to the buttons (back, next, home, refresh etc). Finally I used the Customize menu (right click on toolbars) to select small icons. This all together gives me a cleaner browser with more space for the webpages instead of toolbars.
