Configuration Mania Adds Tons of Hidden Options to Firefox
Firefox may not be the most popular browser these days, but it is still the most customizable – down to the tiniest pixel. However, if looking for about: config is too tedious, the free Configuration Mania add-on adds a ton of options through an easy-to-browse panel.
Firefox has more hidden settings than you can count, but sometimes you don’t know what you’re looking for until you know what it is. Configuration Mania makes customizing Firefox a lot easier: install an add-on, open its preferences, and you’ll see hundreds of new checkboxes and options. Some of the best include:
- Disable or configure autocomplete in the address bar
- Change the way Firefox displays images and animated GIFs
- Change url and behavior of new tabs
- Customize Firefox to work with the Windows 7 taskbar and Jump Lists
- Adjust the aggressiveness of the Firefox pop-up blocker.
- Customize keyboard shortcuts and multi-touch gestures
… and much more.
Best of all: if you uninstall the add-on, your configurations remain in place, so you can install it, go crazy, and then disable or uninstall the add-on. However, you can reset everything to their defaults from the main Configuration window Maina. Check it out at the link below.
