We’ve all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?
pocket.enabledto falseFirst thing I do every clean install
Thanks, I need to remember to do this tomorrow.
Just had to entirely do a fresh install like 6 hours ago.
Hey buddy did u remember
Just did it now, thanks for reminding me! 😊
Thanks! Just did this.
Oh wow, that’s a lot!
Good to have something to read during commute.
On laptops, I really recommend everyone sets
apz.overscroll.enabledtotrue. It adds the MacOS/iOS overscroll effect when you fling a page fast and you reach the bottom. It does not add any functionnality but it just makes everything so much smoother in my opinionFor me:
browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedOrder: False
browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent: True
dom.popup_maximum: 100
browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel: False
I always like to start over with a clean slate. The one that’s been with me for about 15 years now is browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab set to false.
browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled-> false
It removes the tab manager. The down facing arrow next to the minimize button at the top right.extensions.pocket.enabled-> false
Disable Pocketidentity.fxaccounts.enabled-> false
Disable Firefox accountmedia.autoplay.blocking_policy-> 2
You have to click the play button to play videos.media.peerconnection.enabled-> false
Disable WebRTCThe firefox account is actually neat. It syncs bookmarks, history and passwords between desktop, phone, laptop or wherever you use firefox.
- Mention 5 obscure about:config params to change without explaining them
- Refuse to elaborate
What do
browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabledandmedia.peerconnection.enableddo?media.peerconnection.enabledit disable WebRTC.browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabledit removes the tab manager. The down facing arrow next to the minimize button at the top right.media.peerconnection.enabledit disable WebRTC.Why would you want that? Doesn’t that block you from using basically any online call?
I don’t do online calls. Yes, it does block you from making online calls.
And why would you want that disabled besides not requiring it?
WebRTC leaks your IP allowing third-party websites to exploit the WebRTC in your browser to detect your real IP address and use it to identify you.
You still can use desktop apps to do that.
Backspace behavior: 1 something like that. Sets backspace to go to previous page it was once default but it is not anymore
Browsers changed this because people kept accidentally hitting it. I’m glad it’s gone. My mouse has back/forward buttons on the side and I remapped those to go back and forward in browser history.
