Type about:config into the address bar or get Configuration Mania.
about:config
Search for these options and modify or toggle them:
about:robots security.dialog_enable_delay = 0 browser.tabs.closeButtons = 3 # put tab close button on toolbar browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo = 30 browser.search.openintab = True # Searches in search bar open in new tab instead of current window browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll = True # I can't decide which way I like better... layout.spellcheckDefault = 2 # Spellcheck one-line text fields as well as standard text area fields view_source.editor.external = True view_source.editor.path = /usr/bin/gvim
These options may need to be created:
content.switch.threshold = 1000000
Interesting... I need to research these more:
network.protocol-handler
Firefox 3 unsigned SSL cert handling was thought up by an asshole
Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer
First, I understand what certs are for. There should be an expert option to eliminate the extreme verbosity and all the button clicks. I just don't understand how the Firefox team could do this to us. Then they have the nerve to try to explain to us how certs work and how we don't really want to accept them without a trusted CA signing... blah... blah... blah... Yes, that's what you tell the naive users. Most people complaining are developers. Probably 99% of web developers out there use self-signed certs for their own work and testing.
Someone has a Firefox 3 Add-on that fixes this. Check out MitM Me. Now I gotta go look up the internal config settings that will lobotomize Firefox...
