K, here's a little something I've found over teh njet. I didnt come up with the stuff,
just trying to collect stuff to one topic. Sort of collestion of tweaks and tips for Firefox. I'd like to have a one place where I can get "the goodies" if I need it.
For example, if im surfing with some other PC and I need to "fix it", here's one place to get the info.
Feel free to add you own tips also, one can never have enough tips.
This is for firefox, I got 1.04 as of writing and have yet to "see" any trouble with these tweaks. Alltought, im probably blocking something I should not but im cool with it, im just tired of all google-ads and banners and shitz.
Install the Adblock extension. Little Tutorial to watch here.
Then install the ChromEdit, Reboot Firefox, go to Tools and Edit User Files:
Found that stuff first in here (thanks for muchspl3) which leads to here.Advertisements on websites are annoying, often breaking up text and flashing to get your attention. To stop about 99% of the ads on the internet from even showing, add the following code to your userContent.css file:
/* Block Ads v.2004-06-12 by Neil Jenkins
Portions of this ruleset are derived from the ad blocking css by Joe Francis at:

more about Firefox files in here.
(Basically, it is a Cookie and Image permissions file that im blockin all those addys.)
Been using an alternative start-page: WTF-Start
CookieCuller is pretty hawt extension too. Remove cookies and dont allow sites you removed cookies to set future cookies.
Allow right click. Does what it says, really.
BBCode. Adds usefull stuff to rightclick.
PDF Download. This is a good one, some links are Adobes Portable Document Format and if I happen to click the link the Puta freezes for 5 min. (the bloated AcrobatReader7 does that)
but with this extension I can just download it and view for desktop etc. and the acroreader wont freeze my pc for so long.
There's also less bloated version of Acrobat Reader available, just in case your interested.
(ryan has tons of goodies, but mostly its about UnAttented stuff.)
Some pretty hawt Search Plugins.
Linky will increase your power to handle links. It will let you open or download all or selected links, image links and even web addresses found in the text in separate or different tabs or windows. You will just need to right click any link or web address, select the Linky menu item and choose the desired action. You can even specify what option you want to see available in the Linky menu through its preferences.
My main browser seems to be Opera with Proxomitron.
But Firefox is right behind as nr.2 because it dont have teh eMail app innit,
maybe they'll ad it later, who knows...)
If you're concerned about your privacy, I suggest you try out proxomitron and/or Tor.
Here's a more detailed info how to set 'em up. Here too, infact, the +Fravia has tons of info on teh matters.
Last but not least:
Usefull links - The Extensions Mirror, particularly the Extensionroom. And also Tips and Tricks!
K, this should get the ball going, lets see what pops up, eh?
