Category: Mozilla: Browser of the Gods
Friday, May 6, 2005
One of the genius decisions behind Firefox was the decision to simplify everything -- to limit the number of choices the browser exposed to the average user. Firefox's preferences panel is clean and relatively simple, and the defaults are set to the choices that make the most sense for the average user.
But what if you're not the average user? What if you want to tweak Firefox beyond the options available in the preferences panel?
It's as simple as this: go to the address bar in the browser and type
about:config
and hit "Enter". This will bring up a page listing all of Firefox's preferences -- not just the common ones you can set through the GUI.
How many preferences does this give you access to, you ask? This many. Tweakers, start your engines :-)

If that's too hard to understand... well, I'm sorry. There's only so much I can do. I'm not a therapist, and I'm not a miracle worker. I wish I could help you work through your delusional belief that I'm speaking for anyone else but myself. Honestly, I do. But in the end, that's a monkey you'll have to get off your back on your own. Sorry.
