Firefox: tips & tricks
Enable the overlay scrollbar
about:config Code:
widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled = true |
Heheh... I just want to know how to disable ALL macros when editing online documents. IMHO there is just zero value in assigning a single, somewhat hidden keypress, to delete everything I just spent a half hour typing. Until I actually find what key does that, I'm considering installing some sort of pressure sensor that delivers a deafening CRASH! sound when I pound on it, perhaps including sounds of weeping and gnashing of teeth LOL

If you use libinput with a touchpad then there is no kinetic scrolling. With the older synaptics driver this was a "feature", but libinput skipped adding this since it was kind of buggy. They leave it up to applications to enable kinetic scrolling, so I turn it on for firefox by ensuring that the following is set in about:config
Code:
apz.gtk.kinetic_scroll.enabled = true Code:
export MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 |
If you don't like the modern "hamburger" menu (with its icon of three horizontal lines), just press the (left) Alt key and the traditional File/Edit/View/... menu appears. It will hide itself again if you select an item or press Alt a second time.
(I've tried this in Chromium, but it didn't work.) |

Another tip, I usually create a file named
/etc/firefox/policies/policies.json to override config settings, this also makes the config settings read-only. Thus when a new firefox changes a default, I do not need to use about:config. This is what I have and this works across various Operating Systems. Code:

With FF 105, on start, the cursor focus is on the URL bar, instead of -previously- the search field of my home page (duckduckgo)
Anyone know if it's possible to change that and how ? |

Same here, thank you ! Switched to false, as true is the (new ?) default.

To maintain some preferences "read-only" through upgrades on a per-account basis, there is the user.js file.

Replace the internal src editor with external (I use geany, but you can use whatever).
Code:
user_pref("view_source.editor.external", true); |

And with all respect, the strong disabling of DNSOverHTTPS could be at best categorized as sabotage, if not social engineering with malicious intent. So, sincere congratulations for successfully misleading at least 4 people until now! :hattip: |
