Re: Tweaking for Fun/Speed - Fx v3 Series
said by 33591094  :Here's a tip for folks who've installed Firefox 3, and then copied over the usual key items from their old profile - avoid copying over your user.js file. My install seemed 'pokey' compared to my wife's fresh install, and clearing out my user.js file made everything snappy again. There must have been an invalid setting carried over from 2.0, I suppose. Now I can check out the specific 3.0 tweaks in this thread...  Yes, mine was too which left me wondering what the hype about fx 3.0 was all about, now it rocks! Thanks again GK (geez...I seem to say that a lot!) |

Here's one for you...
FF 2.0 has a userchrome tweak which would remove the line between the navigation and bookmark toolbars. Does anyone know what that tweak is, and if it works on FF 3.0? |

Now with those lines out of the way, you can use the following tweak to slim down the toolbars, by removing some padding...
Now things are looking familiar again... :D |

Should I make a new .js file or make these changes in the one from v2? |

GK,
Thanks for this new set. I just installed it in Win and works fine. Not available in Ubuntu yet. I guess they still have to sort out lots of other stuff first as I get almost daily updates to the latest version.
I got a coupe of Q:
1. Where is that awesome bar? Can't find it.
2. Is it OK to save the different tweaks in that list mixed up? I mean like this:
user_pref("browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers", 3);
user_pref("newsfox.advanced.favicons", false);
user_pref("metrics.upload.enable", false);
There is a "browser" tweak mixed up with newsfox and metrics. Instead of saving the browser one with its group.
Cheers. |

The prefs.js will pick up the changes.

Another newbie here....Made user.js file, put in
C:\Documents and Settings\User/Application Data\Mozila\Firefox\Profiles and when I checked about:config there wasn't any additions or changes.
Hopefully you can see the pic.
Thanks for your help! |

| The user.js file belongs in the root of the profile folder.
If you see other files like places.sqlite, prefs.js, bookmarks folder then you have the user.js in the correct location.
Restart Fx to take effect.

hey Grail Knight, you should remove the "config.trim_minimize" tweak since it no longer exists for Firefox 3. |

1 edit | Sorry I never got a notice that I had a reply here.
I left config.trim_on_minimize in because I could find no mention of it being removed at Bugzilla and another Mozilla Site lists it as being in all versions since 0.9.
If it has been taken out leaving the entry in will harm nothing. I set mine to false as it seems to help Fx maximize faster after being minimized for a long length of time due to not allowing Fx to swap out memory while minimized.
Edit* Fixed spelling. |
