EDIT: TabMixPlus Still not compatible w/FF 3.5.2 though it claims to be. EDIT2: Despite a red warning that it is not compatible, and the pop-up telling me to uninstall/Disable TMP (which I did) I restarted my browser a while later for unrelated reasons, and upon restart, the sidebar opened, and there was the message: "TMP ready for install; restart FF to complete the install.." And I now have it installed & working fine!? Weird. I have been in touch with the developer and let him know about this. Thanks to mrclisdue for providing the link in the next post; though I didn't need it in the end, thanks for posting it. PS: I recall (another moderator I think) who wrote somewhere that they were starting to consider themselves epileptic or some such thing, because (the) animated images were making them agitated. Here's one about:config for you: Code:
image.animation_mode String Determines how to animate multi-frame GIF images |
The dev build's compatible:

I added the Mozilla/Firefox repositories from Launchpad.net to my Xubuntu-Lucid 10.04 Alpha2 /etc/apt/sources.list
So, I am mainly using Firefox 3.7 Alpha 1 . . . it's faster than Chrome browser, but it still has or needs lots of 'tweaking. :( I didn't know there was so much 'tweaking' to do . . . thanks, a bunch to all who contributed here. |

Ummm.. Yes they will, as long as you edit prefs.js when Firefox is not running. prefs.js is saved when FF closes, so either make any changes using the about:config interface, and close FF to save them, OR, close FF and edit prefs.js. The settings will stay.
Either way, you're right, a user.js is a better idea though, since that seems to be precisely its purpose. :) Sasha |
The clickable link above doesn't work, but doing copy/paste in the browser does the job.
:edit: sorry, my response was way too slow |

Ahhhh, I see what you're saying! And what you're saying makes perfect sense, I understand it now.. But (lol, always a but) -- take a step back for a sec; this (this=FF, not catkin's words) seems to define two scenarios one could use: 1) "If you want to use a user.js file, then DO NOT use about:config" because it will be pointless (or if not quite pointless, then temporary at least. or 2) Use about:config and prefs.js as partners in crime, but don't add a user.js into the mix. Make sense? I can see if multiple users might be using the same FF on a given system, then each user having a user.js makes much sense. On e single user system, I feel the about:config interface is the most practical way to set things up. |

Scenario 2 is the most common because user.js does not exist by default and most users will not create it. I think of it this way: about:config is a GUI editor for prefs.js, unusually (for an editor) not having a "save" feature. The "save" functionality is instead provided when closing FF. mozillaZine say user.js is "recommended for advanced users only", presumably because of:
Perhaps the most useful benefit of user.js is to mitigate the effects of malware (and user error and file corruption!) changing settings. Also, if FF has to be re-initialised by deleting the profile, a user.js file can provide a good starting point to re-apply the most essential settings (but so could a good backup copy of prefs.js). |
A nice tweak for those running on a SSD. Works just as well on a normal harddrive to speed Firefox up just a bit more.
