Firefox... taming the beast. Part 2 !!
Open a new tab and type about:config in the address bar.
Answer that yes, you will be cautious.
To find these settings, just copy/paste a setting name in the search box.
Double clicking a setting will toggle it to true or false.
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = True <--- Tells Firefox to read a .css file we will add.
svg.context-properties.content.enabled = False <---- also needed
browser.compactmode.show = True
browser.toolbars.keyboard_navigation = False <---- (undo the new keyboard navigation in FF 103)
browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled = False (bookmarks spacing) <---- (might want to play around with this)
browser.proton.enabled = True <--- (since FF 91.0)
browser.proton.places-tooltip.enabled = False
browser.proton.toolbar.version = 3
browser.aboutwelcome.design = False
widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style = 0 <--- (set W11 scrollbar width back to normal width (range 0-5))
reader.parse-on-load.enabled = False (removes little blue page icon at right end of address bar)
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar = False <---- New tab search stays as a search (doesn't redirect to address bar)
browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = False <----- Hides Firefox's new "List all tabs icon".
extensions.unifiedExtensions.enabled = False <----- Hides the puzzle piece icon (extensions icon), at far right, before FF 110.0
And these are just old about:config settings, from long before FF 89
Set all these to False...
browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser
browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus
browser.urlbar.update1
browser.urlbar.update1.interventions
browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips
browser.urlbar.update1.view.stripHttps
And these are just odd little tweaks...
browser.urlbar.groupLabels.enabled = False <---- disables Firefox Suggest (FF 92 and later)
browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel = False <---- brings back the Firefox download dialog
toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues .3,.5,.67,.8,.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.33,1.5,1.7,2,2.4,3,4,5 <---- values for the Zoom button
contextualSearch.enabled = True <----- enables site-specific Search (coming soon, on Nightly, now)
C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default-release
The "Chrome" folder and it's userChrome.css file allows even more tweaks.
These links are for the Chrome folder I use, that allows you to just turn ON or turn OFF, various things.
You can also make a Chrome folder/userChrome.css file of your own, if desired.
INFO: userChrome.css for Customizing Firefox
Chrome 4.5.0.zip <---- latest one I'm using.
Chrome 4.3.4.zip
Chrome 4.20.zip
Chrome 4.13.zip
Then restart Firefox.
Any other adjustments to the looks of Firefox were done via Tools > Settings or the Customize page.
