Firefox3. 5 tricks to help survive

Everyone loves Firefox, especially for the fact that you can constantly improve it yourself, without the demand of the manufacturer. (Although Opera is also such, it seems to allow, but Opera is not our choice). In the new version of everyone was replaced, but the researchers of the depths of FF have already found methods how to simplify or decorate their browser. It is enough to understand what we want and why we want it. ;)

1. Automatic substitution in the address bar when entering.
* Type about: config in the address bar.
* Click “I promise I'll be careful!”. (English version of “I'll be careful, I promise!”)
* Enter the text browser.urlbar.autoFill in the search field. Double click on the record will set the value to true.

Now you will have not only a drop-down list of addresses, but also an automatic substitution of a similar address.

2. Turn on spell checking in text boxes.

By default, Firefox checks only in multi-line fields. If you want Firefox to check single-line fields, here:
* Type about: config in the address bar.
* Click “I promise I'll be careful!”. (English version of “I'll be careful, I promise!”)
* Type layout.spellcheckDefault in the search field. Double click on the record and set the value to 2.
3. Tyunim full screen mode

By default, Firefox 3 hides the address bar when you're in full screen mode. We fix:
* Type about: config in the address bar.
* Click “I promise I'll be careful!”. (English version of “I'll be careful, I promise!”)

enter the text in the search box browser.fullscreen.autohide Double click on the record will set the value to false.
* To disable animation when hiding, set browser.fullscreen.animateUp to 0.
4. Include color profile support.
Now Firefox3 has support for color profiles to help display graphic images better. Include:
* Type about: config in the address bar.
* Click “I promise I'll be careful!”. (English version of “I'll be careful, I promise!”)
* Enter the text gfx.color_management.enabled in the search field. Double click on the record will set the value to true.
5. Reduce the size of the back button.

I am personally annoyed by this huge button, correct: click the right button on the toolbar and select “Customize”. Push the checkbox with “small icons”. Helps
