These are the values I change to make my Firefox browser fit my needs:
| Item | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| browser.urlbar.autoFill | FALSE | Disables autocomplete of url's (e.g. 192.168.5.1 makes Firefox autofill 192.168.5.108, causing me to go the wrong URL) |
| browser.urlbar.trimURLs | FALSE | Shows current protocol in URL bar. When enabled it removes the protocol definition. Am I using FTP, HTTP, HTTPS? I don't know, but with this disabled I do. |
| dom.disable_window_move_resize | TRUE | Disallows javascript to resize browser windows. Windows flying around being resized is often frustrating, so none of that for me |
| dom.event.contextmenu.enabled | FALSE | Disallows javascript to remove the top menu, disable rightclicking etc. |
| browser.backspace_action | 0 | Enables press of the backspace-button to go back one page. |
| browser.showQuitWarning | TRUE | Activates a prompt asking to save tabs or not when exiting Firefox. This is nice when accidentally hitting CTRL+Q instead of CTRL+W. |
| geo.enabled | FALSE | Disables geo-location feature. I know where I am. Services do not need that info. If they do, I'll enter it for them manually. |
| FALSE | Puts tabs below the menu - After FF29, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ 'Classic Theme Restorer' is needed to move tabs below the menu | |
| browser.newtab.url | about:blank | Removes the Firefox “tiles page” when opening a new tab. Instead displays 'about:blank' (blank/empty page). |
