About:config hacks for Firefox 3

Blogs DNA has some great suggestions for tweaking the Firefox 3 about:config file. Customize Firefox 3 to your particular preferences with hacks to reduce the number of auto-complete list in your URL bar, extend spell check to forms, and disable blinking text. All it takes is a few simple modifications to the about:config file. By editing the about:config file, you can have a Firefox 3 that is faster, less bloated, and more tailored to your browsing habits. Do you have any suggestions for tweaks to Firefox 3?

I can photoshop! The giveaway is a list of more than 10 most recently closed tabs — and not a porn site in the bunch.

Enable colour management by changing the values of
gfx.color_management.enabled and
gfx.color_management.display_profile

See http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/04/29/633/ to see why you should.

Farewell indeed.

You aren’t leaving and never will, so save the drama for rendezvous with rama.

Using often wi-fi connections wep or open I’d like to use https for my mail reading also via browser, and not onli for logging, you can start your session in https and google will continue with secure exchange, you can also update the follow script of the google toolbar Gmail button to permanently change the way the mail is checked.
