7伟大的Firefox ：设置扭动

张贴在2007年11月9日在3:04 pm

以后使用Internet Explorer许多年，我必须说我真正地祝愿我我很多更加早于会交换对Firefox! Firefox显然是customizable浏览器那里，以您能下载和插座in.的数以万计引伸和添加物。不仅有提高Firefox的许多第三方引伸，那里也是吨在Firefox可以被扭捏的配置设置。

在最近几个月，我在Firefox扭捏了设置的一个好数字，并且我认为我与我的Firefox读者会分享它。那个方式您能真实地做Firefox 您浏览器。我审阅两三Firefox 关于：设置 您能改变做我浏览经验更加令人愉快的设置。

怎么对备份：设置文件

在您之前开始编辑：设置在Firefox，您归档应该支持文件，万一您做弄糟一切的变动。您能通过做拷贝支持它 prefs.js在Firefox外形文件夹。为窗口，您将必须由开头显示隐含文件和文件夹 控制板双击 文件夹选择选择看法制表符，精选“显示隐含文件和文件夹”并且点击好.

如何修改：设置配置在Firefox

首先，它大概是一个好想法提及如何实际上修改这些先进的配置设置在Firefox为那些non-techie用户。配置设置简单地是关键码名字桌和价值。您能通过键入访问所有 关于：设置 入您的浏览器地址酒吧。

要改变价值为钥匙，简单地进入它是命名的入 过滤器 正文框在上面。双击在词条和您可能改变价值。重新开始浏览器，并且变动将起作用。那么这扭动：

配置关闭键在Firefox制表符

您是否不恨它，当您设法关闭一个制表符时，并且您在它旁边导致结束这一权利？令人讨厌的人和非常共同性(至少为我)。您在制表符能通过改变以下钥匙控制关闭键：

browser.tabs.closeButtons

0: 显示一个关闭键只在当前活跃表格。一个好方式防止其他制表符closing。

1: 显示关闭键在所有制表符(缺省)。

2: 不要显示 其中任一 关闭键; 您必须按Ctrl-F4结束表格。

3: Display one close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x’s default).

Increase number of tabs that can be displayed

Tabbed browsing is great and I’m such a big user of it that I end up having about 20 tabs open most of the time. By default, if you have more than 12 tabs open, Firefox will set the tabs to a specified width and then scroll the rest with arrows. One way to see more tabs if you’re a power tab user is to decrease the width of the Firefox tabs so that more can fit before scrolling starts. The default is 100 pixels, so you can choose something less to see what works best for you.

browser.tabs.tabMinWdith

100 pixels default value

Open search results in a new tab

This tweak is pretty cool and one of the best out there. Basically, when you perform a search from the search box at the top right in Firefox, it normally loads in the current tab. However, if you set the value of this setting to TRUE instead of FALSE, then every time you perform a search, a new tab will come up with the results, thereby leaving your current tab alone!

browser.search.openintab

False - Default value, set to True to load results in a new tab

Download and cache only pages you actually view

Firefox has an interesting feature whereby it tries to determine which links on a page you might click on and then downloads them so that it can load the pages faster. For example, it will try to download the top result from a Google search automatically. However, this eats up bandwidth and CPU cycles and saves web history of pages you may have never even visited! To turn it off, set the value to false.

network.prefetch-next

True - Default value, set it to False

Increase number of simultaneous downloads and connections to a server

From the networking point of view, you can increase a couple of different settings to increase network performance. network.http.max-connections controls how many simultaneous network connections Firefox will make at any one time to any number of Web servers. Default is set to 24, but you can knock it up to 32 to see if that has any effect. Anything above that will not do much.

network.http.max-connections-per-server controls how many separate connections Firefox makes to the same server, which allows for multiple elements to be download in parallel. Only do this if you have a fast connection and don’t raise it by too much otherwise you will be blacklisted. The default is 8 and you should only increase it by a few.

network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server controls the number of persistent connections allowed per server. The default is 2 and this is generally the value people list when they are say you can increase the number of simultaneous downloads in Firefox. Again, don’t go more than 1 or 2 above the default as you could be temporarily blacklisted.

Turn off those annoying tool tips

Finally, you can get rid of all of those annoying tool tips that pop up every time you hover your mouse over a button by changing the config file. Personally, I already know what every single button on my toolbar does and it annoys me when they pop up and cover something else!

browser.chrome.toolbar_tips

True - Default value, set it to False to turn off tool tips

Use a custom search engine for the address bar

By default, if you type in a phrase that is not a web address into the address bar, Firefox sends the query to Google for a web search. You can change this so that it uses a different search engine if you prefer.

For Windows Live search:
http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=

For a Yahoo search:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=

To go back to the default:
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

keyword.URL

Change to any of the following above to use a different search engine.
