Firefox 13.0 Tips

[Godfather]

Hello all, if you're like me the recent Firefox update is annoying (13.0). Now, when you open new tabs it shows your history. I don't like this because if you ever need a quick Cntrl-T to hide a page (like this forum), it shows sites you spend (read: waste) the most time on

It's easy to change this, but it's not in the Options where it should be so follow my simple steps!

1. Type in "about:config" in your browser bar. Agree to continue where it says "I'll be careful, I promise"
2. Search "browser.newtabpage.enabled", or scroll down to find it
3. Right click and hit Toggle
4. Done! Hit Cntrl-T to test.


If you want to actually select a website for New Tabs to open to every time instead of a blank page, go to the same place, and select the option below it called "browser.newtab.url" and right click to Modify. Then change that to whichever site you prefer.


Anyways, all very simple. Hope it helps one or two who were bothered by this update as I was.

I just checked. I was/am on 12.0, but it's updating. will defo have to do this as the tabs thing is one of the reasons I stopped using Chrome.

Exactly, that's one thing I hated about Chrome

Another thing they're getting rid of whenever 15 rolls around is Window-based dl manager for a panel based one. I prefer window based. Hopefully there's a way to maintain that.

Even my girlfriend laughs at me for constantly editing and reworking the things I write. It's one thing I've tried to get better at with work emails first and foremost.

So I take my time, edit my work and send work after great thought and reworking when it counts

Here I just edit because I have a quick trigger finger with that post button and I don't really mind if people make fun of me for it
