1) browser.ctrlTab.previews



about:config
Normally, when you use Ctrl + Tab to navigate through your current tabs, Firefox will just switch from tab to tab, rendering the page with each tap. If you set this setting to true, you’ll instead be shown a row of thumbnails that you can tap through. By default, this setting is set to false

2) browser.taskbar.previews.max

In Windows 7, when you hover over the Firefox taskbar icon, you’re presented with a popup that shows a thumbnail preview of all the tabs you have open. If you like to have a lot of open tabs, this list can get pretty big and wieldy. Set it to 1 to minimize its intrusion, or whatever value you prefer. By default, this setting is set to 20.

3) browser.tabs.closeButtons




firefox about:config

Do you hate having an X (the close tab button) on every single open tab in Firefox? Then tweak this setting to your pleasure. Setting it to 0 will only show the X on the currently active tab. Setting it to 2 will not display the X on any tabs at all. Setting it to 3 will remove the X from all of the tabs and create a singular X at the end of the tabs list.
By default, this setting is set to 1.

4) browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

In a fresh-out-of-the-box Firefox browser, closing the last remaining tab will result in the entire browser closing. Some of you may not like this. Luckily, all you have to do is change this setting to false and you’ll be able to have an open browser without having any open tabs. By default, this setting is set to true.

5)  browser.urlbar.trimURLs

This tweak is a small one, but some of you may desperately be wanting it. Have you noticed that sometimes the URL bar will truncate the http:// portion? If you want Firefox to stop doing that, then simply change this setting to false. By default, this setting is set to true.

6)  browser.allTabs.previews

about:config

At the end of the tabs list, there’s a small button you can click to show a list of all the currently open tabs. With this setting, you can flip it to true and transform the tab list into a tab grid. You’ll see a grid of thumbnails that show all of the tabs you have open. This is very useful for quickly exiting out of multiple tabs.

firefox about:config

This is probably one of the more unknown tweaks out there, but it’s a most useful one. By default, this setting is set to false.

7) network.http.proxy.keep-alive


Determines whether to use HTTP Keep-Alive connections when a proxy server is configured. If more than one request is made, the browser attempts to reuse open connections that have been kept alive.True (default): Send Connection: keep-alive header and Keep-Alive header based on contents of network.http.keep-alive.timeoutFalse: Opposite of the above (recommended in case of problems)
Note: This preference is effectively obsolete, as all connections are considered keep-alive in HTTP/1.1. 


This Can Be Helpful When Using Proxy 

8) network.enablePad

Determines whether the browser is allowed to perform proxy autodiscoveryTrue: Autodiscovery enabledFalse (default): Opposite of the above 

9) clipboard.autocopy 


True: Selecting text automatically copies it to the clipboardFalse (default): Opposite of the above
Note: *nix only. 


10) network.http.max-connections

Determines the maximum number of simultaneous HTTP connections. Default value is 30. Valid values are between 1 and 65535 inclusive.

  1. hello deathaces deathhacker here here to
    show u this
    How to make Mozilla Firefox 30 times faster
    1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
    down and look for the following entries:
    network.http.pipelining
    network.http.proxy.pipelining
    network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
    Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
    When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
    speeds up page loading.
    2. Alter the entries as follows:
    Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
    Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
    Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
    means it will make 30 requests at once.
    3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
    Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
    This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it
    recieves.
    If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now.

    enjoy from the hackers elite cr3w
