Firefox tweaks

Having just installed a couple of fresh systems I once again had to set up a fresh Firefox install. Here is a little collection of the tweaks I usually make.

about:config stuff:

Open links that point to new windows in the current tab:

 browser.link.open_newwindow = 1

Single tab close button on right:

 browser.tabs.closeButtons = 3

Open bookmark folder by appending new tabs instead of overwriting the current ones:

 browser.tabs.loadFolderAndReplace = false

Move to next tab rather than parent on tab close:

 browser.tabs.selectOwnerOnClose = false

Disable tab scrolling:

 browser.tabs.tabMinWidth = 0

Faster mouse wheel scrolling:

 mousewheel.withnokey.numlines = 10
 mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines = false

Disable tab list drop-down via userChrome.css:

 .tabs-alltabs-button {display: none !important;}

Transfer old profile stuff from FF2 to FF3:
1. Import bookmarks
2. Copy key3.db, signons2.txt

Plugins:
- AdBlock+ and Element Hider
- British English Dictionary
- Cookie Button
- Copy Plain Text
- Fetch Text URL
- Flashblock

    Really useful, turning off all the close tabs buttons makes it look soooo much nicer!
