-As the world turns more and more towards 'default dumb user' in every application, some changes is needed to make it fit nerds. As I kept on forgetting which values to change when installing new machines, I've decided to write them down:+These are the values I change to make my Firefox browser fit my needs:
  
-  * browser.urlbar.autoFill -> FALSE - Effect: Firefox does not autocomplete url's (e.g. 192.168.5.1 makes Firefox autofill 192.168.5.108. Pretty annoying! I'm not a dumb userFirefox, I KNOW what I'm typing. I didn't mean ".108" when I wrote ".1" and pressed enter. I meant ".1", nothing else. Don't correct it. Me master, you machine+^Item ^Value ^Effect^ 
-  browser.urlbar.trimURLs -> FALSE - Effect: Shows current protocol in URL bar. When enabled it removes the protocol definition. Am I using FTP, HTTP, HTTPS? I don't know, because Firefox removed it! Goddamn Chrome-wannabe-behaviour) +|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)| 
-  dom.disable_window_move_resize -> TRUE - Effect: Disallows javascript to resize browser windows. I KNOW my window sizeand that is the size I want it. Don't fuck with it. Me master, you machine. +|browser.urlbar.trimURLs|FALSEShows 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.event.contextmenu.enabled -> FALSE - Effect: Disallows javascript to remove the top menu, disable rightclicking etc. +|dom.disable_window_move_resize|TRUEDisallows javascript to resize browser windows. Windows flying around being resized is often frustratingso none of that for me| 
-  browser.backspace_action -> - Effect: Enables press of the backspace-button to go back one page. +|dom.event.contextmenu.enabled|FALSEDisallows javascript to remove the top menu, disable rightclicking etc.| 
-  browser.showQuitWarning -> TRUE - Effect: Activates a prompt asking to save tabs or not when exiting Firefox. This is nice when accidentally hitting CTRL+Q +|browser.backspace_action|0Enables press of the backspace-button to go back one page.| 
-  geo.enabled -> FALSE - Effect: Disables geo-location feature. You don't need to know where I am, neither do any weird websitesThere is enough logging in the world as it is.+|browser.showQuitWarning|TRUEActivates 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|FALSEDisables geo-location feature. know where I am. Services do not need that info. If they do, I'll enter it for them manually.| 
 +|<del>browser.tabs.onTop</del>|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).|
