Tweaking Firefox

[Yerzrinot]

Firefox is the most customizable browser "on the market". Here's how to tweak it to your liking. Open a new tab, type "about:config" without the quotations.

Reduce firefox memory use on minimize

config.trim_on_minimize (value: True)(Must create a new boolean for this one)

Speeding Firefox up (suck it Chrome!)
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to "30"
Set "network.http.max-connections" to "48"
Set "network.http.max-connections-per-server" to "20"
Set "network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy" to "8" (In Firefox 3.0 & Flock 2.0, the default value is already set at 8, but this setting helps older versions)
Set "network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server" to "8"

Skip the installation delay for installing firefox extensions.
"security.dialog_enable_delay" set to 0

See richer image colors by enabling color profiling support.
gfx.color_management.enabled equal to true

If you're aware of any more about:config tweaks please post them.

This has been discussed before, came to the conclusion why waste time doing it by hand when the add-on is out

That only takes care of the speed configurations. Besides, it's more fun to do it by hand.
