about:config on firefox

This one is for those using Mozilla Firefox, if you are using take a new page or new tab and on the address bar type in about:config. You can do all the tweaking of Firefox from this page. about:config

You can edit the values by double clicking and changing the value on the dialog box or Right Click to Add/Modify etc.

Warning!
You can mess up firefox if you do editing. So always backup the values before tweaking.
Take File > Save Page.

Some examples:
browser.startup.homepage [String]
Sets your home page.

security.dialog_enable_delay [Integer] [in milliseconds]
Specifies the number of milliseconds till the button is enabled. You see this normally in download dialog boxes, in which the download button is enabled only sometime after. This is a security measure.

view_source.editor.external [True/False]
True enables another external editor to view the source.

view_source.editor.path [String]
External editor path.

browser.cache.memory.capacity [Integer]
This saves memory usage, by limiting the memory, and fixes memory leak.

Something you tweaked? Please leave a comment...
