Hackin' Fire-Fox Browser

[JakBeNymble]

Hi "Guyz",
I ran across this site that had some really nice Browser Tweaks for "Fire-Fox" Users. I realize that not everyone like the FF browser, but for those that do, You'll really like this site. And even for those that don't like the FF browser, You might find the way the tweaks are made real interesting, , , ,I did!

Yeah, there are lots of cool things you can do with both the Sweet Suite and the Fabulous Furry Fox o' Fire. A lot of that stuff, like the speed tweaks, works with the Suite, too, though I've found third-party builds are much faster, even without tweaks. With tweaks ... wow! What got me hooked when I first started using it was the userChrome stuff. Yesterday I played around with making Mozilla look like the default Proxo interface by using some of the textures as background images on the toolbox, tabbrowser-strip and tabs ... "sorta psychedelic!" [lol] [wacko]

Here are some things I set in user.js to enhance security:

Code:

// Prevent sites from disabling features of new windows:
user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_flip", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.close", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.directories", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.location", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.minimizable", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.titlebar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
user_pref("dom.event.contextmenu.enabled", false);
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.onunload", "noAccess");

I like to bump the connections a bit too ... this is what I typically use, though I'm trying some other (probably excessive) settings at the moment:

Code:

user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);

And if you wanna play with the configs much, you can change your throbber url (that sounds kinda ) so clicking the throbber takes you to about:config:

Code:

user_pref("browser.throbber.url", "about:config");

(Not responsible if any of this stuff makes your browser grow a purple tail! Optimal speed settings vary depending on your connection, computer, and browser build.)

I have a few tweaks as well, for security.

user_pref("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", true);
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.status", "noAccess");
user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 3000);
user_pref("network.http.sendRefererHeader", 1);

After seeing ProxRocks' posts over on the Browser Security Pack thread, I hope you don't fumigate for endangered aquatic primates [lol] ! I used to love Fx, until 0.9 came out , but after that it's not the same: I really can't stand any version they've made since . Switched to the Suite, which I now really like, though I miss one or two little features in the old Fb/Fx (wish I understood enough js to write an extension to incorporate 'em ... I've got the xul and css down, but I've been banging my head against the wall for over a month to get the js fully functional). I hear you about the fx marketing ...
