As a regular Mozilla Firefox user, I'm going to share a few tips and personal reminders about this web browser in this article.
Extensions
A list of extensions I find interesting.
uBlock Origin: Quite simply, the best ad blocker in town.
Livemarks: Mozilla had the bad idea (they're not always inspired) of abandoning RSS support. This plugin makes up for that ignominy.
I still don't care about cookies: Suppresses cookie warnings in compliance with EU regulations. Please note this plugin only blocks or hides cookie-related pop-ups, not deletes them.
NoScript: Enhance security by disabling the execution of JavaScript and other executable content. It is still possible to authorize the execution of content from trusted websites. Extension for advanced users only.
stip: Simply the best of them all ðŸ¤! Allows you to display your v4 and v6 public ip address(es).
Textarea Cache: Save content in textarea. User can recover the saved texts in the cache panel, even the tab or the window is closed unexpectedly.
Folders
Windows
Profile directory, useful when migrating to a new computer:
user@host:~$ read -p "New profile? [y/N]" new; if [ "$new" == "y" ]; then rm -r /tmp/firefox/; mkdir /tmp/firefox/; fi; firefox --profile /tmp/firefox/
Advanced Configuration
This section is dedicated to the options found in the browser's about:config menu.
browser.urlbar.switchTabs.searchAllContainers: set false to disable Tab Switching Across Containers. This means Firefox won't automatically open a tab that's already active when you type an open url into the address bar.
media.play-stand-alone: set false to disable . Prevents Firefox from reading media from the browser. Will propose a download instead.
Keyboard Shortcuts
F11: Full screen
F12: Open/Close the built in Firefox Developer Tools
