dungsport 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Hehe, they are so helpful. Just type about:config at the address bar could let you control all that. BTW, here are the list of prefix about:... that you can play with your address bar. about: shows info on Firefox's version number, copyright, etc.; about:config reveals the Configuration Console, a repository brimming over with scores of customizable settings; about:cache displays a summary of both your memory and file cache, with a link to full file listings; about:buildconfig lists the compiler options that were used to create your version of Firefox (and, since it's open source, anyone can compile a customized version); about:plugins enumerates your installed add-ons, which can be quite numerous since Firefox is designed to be modular and extensible; and about:credits is an "Easter egg" that includes the names of hundreds of developers and testers who worked on the product.I dont really like Firefox and it is not as comfortable as Maxthon (former MyIE2). Many websites aren't displayed properly in Firefox. Maybe their creators are Microsoft lovers or maybe they are suk in Web design (more likely), lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcguy 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 I've done such tweaks on my computer's Firefox, and it has certainly make my Firefox run faster. However, I've seen forum postings warning about such tweaks to Firefox because it can destabilize Firefox. Is it true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m3ch4 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2005 Forum posting can destabilize Firefox...!?Explanation...please... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's refering to the tweaks that people make to their browsers that cause destabilization, not the act of posting that does that =P I've heard that mentioned a couple times as well, that messing with the defaults and missing some of the settings or changing a few extra ones can really mess around with things. Is there an official response from Mozilla about tweaks? Have they released their own list of tweaks that they officially stand behind? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Proton 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah, they will destabillize firefox if you tweek it TOO far. But if you use the pre done tweeks proven not to decrease stablility then you will be fine. Just match up the speed of your computer with the speed of your internet and chooses one, then apply in the about.config page. as easy as that!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
