Firefox 3 configuration steps

Firefox Add-ons

Go Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons -> then search for and install 3 add-ons:

  • Tax mix plus
  • Flashblock
  • Foxmarks

Firefox Tweaks

  • Don't want Firefox to close when pressing ctrl-w on the last tab: Tools -> tab mix plus options -> events -> tab closing -> tick "do not close window when closing last tab by hotkey".
  • Firefox: enable printing in print preview mode in Linux: about:config -> toggle "printWhileInPrintPreview" to "true".
  • Stop animated GIFs in Firefox: about:config -> image.animation_mode -> change to "none"
  • Firefox: Fix the stupid behavior of overwriting current tabs when opening new tabs: about:config -> browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace -> toggle to "true".
  • To get autocomplete for the web address, go: about:config -> browser.urlbar.autoFill -> toggle to "true" -> restart FF.
  • Perform a sync using Foxmarks wizard, and for the initial setup keep the bookmarks on the server, and overwrite those on this computer.
