I'm going to dick around with this just for d.tube, and only because Pale Moon will not work for it (yet?)
To do / Notes ∞
-
safebrowsing is a proprietary protocol from Google.
- It's a nice way to track every URL you visit. Thanks Google!
- bug 201011 - custom key bindings no longer possible
-
When viewing a .txt file with the web browser, disable line wrapping.
plain_text.wrap_long_lines;false
-
To view the source of a URL inline
- view-source:http://example.com
- Works on RSS feeds.

Earlier ∞

Firefox 3.5 Restricts, Matches, Keywords
- You can type in the top area, and then append a symbol to restrict the search. I already restrict matches to my history only, but now I can use this to search through things I've visited which are also bookmarks. Neat.

titles/tags
(was that all busted in 4.0?)
-
- This used to exist for the old "Mozilla", but was re-introduced in Firefox 3.0.
Multi-line selection ∞
- Select a line in Firefox with your mouse.
-
Press and hold the Ctrl key before selecting the second line.
Old Notes ∞
-
Don't show the download window, just download to the default folder:
browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting;false
- Fasterfox had prefetching.
-
TODO - When closing a tab, go to the left tab. This used to be doable in Firefox 2.
- When opening a link a new tab (
middleclick
), it inserts a new tab directly to the right. I want it to open at the far-right (possible withcontrol-middleclick
).
- When opening a link a new tab (
- personas is another example of the stupid direction things have been going.

- Remove close buttons
- FIXME - Addons. Re-install each from source, verifying where they're located, and bundling any which are insisting on being unpacked. Can the extension filenames be corrected easily?

checkplaces isn't being supported anymore .. need to find a replacement
Newer notes ∞
- 2016-03-20 - For some time I've been wondering what
netpreductions.sqlite
is. I don't see it in Pale Moon, so I haven't researched this further.

Ported Firebird notes.
I have to get the hell away from [[Firefox]]. It's really pissing me off to no end.
Added some old images.
