| I love this Firefox feature. It allows the screen to scroll very smoothly as opposed to jerkily. To enable it: Go to "about:config" in Firefox (address bar). In the filter box, enter: general.smoothScroll Double click on the option below the filter box. Restart Firefox and you will now be scrolling smoothly all over the web!  |
Wow! Thanks for that, very useful. Where did you find this? Are there good sites on the net for this sort of thing in Firefox?
I've been using www.firefoxtutor.com recently, which hasn't been that bad, do you know of others?

You're welcome. There is a tutorial on asta for firefox tweaks. And I think I actually found it in Firefox's options screen or maybe through FireTune (a program for tweaking FF.) However, i wanted to post about it and couldn't find it so went through about:config and searched for it. 
Glad this helped!

It's cool I guess, but it slows things down a little bit. I'd much rather keep things fast and skip the eyecandy.
Well, each to their own. I use a scrollwheel on my mouse and it used to make it very jerky, so I put this on.
Why don't you just enable it in Options > Advanced? It's much easier than editing it in the about:config.
I don't have it enabled, as it slows things down. I prefer to have it go faster, like madcrow. But it is harder to follow a jerky scroll when you're reading a large page of text.

That's pretty neat. It does slow things down, but I prefer them to be smoother as opposed to quick and jerky. I too use a scroll wheel which makes things jerk. Thanks for the tip.
I am also using smooth browsing, just because i like it and i have done it from the first day, just i don't understand why you go and edit about:config file when you van go to prefs -> advanced > browsing -> set smooth scrolling on/off ???
Also, you all might like to check out the FF extension called SmoothWheel. You can set preferences and it has a great feel for what you want it to do. It will even gracefully slow down as you reach the end of a page. It's basically the same as the smooth scrolling setting only with much more finesse and functionality.

Just do a google search for firefox tweaks. There are all kinds of tweaks in the about:config. It is especially great if you have broadband because the changes in there mostly only make a difference in broadband.

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get hold of performance stats on how long Firefox take to open
really large websites (like > 500k of xhtml). I have done some initial tests with a page of around
1MB and found that Firefox just stops for about 5mins while it gets over the shock. I could go
though and test a lot more combinations, but I hoping to find some performance tests that show the
point where Firefox starts to degrade. Cheers, Hoopa....

flash plugins etc (6)
Hi, I just recently downloaded and began using Mozilla's Firefox 1.6 as my web browser, but for
some reason, whenever I try to go to a site that uses a Flash plugin, Mozilla refuses to let me
download the plugin. I mean, it tries, but it never works. Does anyone else have the same problem
with Mozilla or have heard of this happening? its not that big of a deal, because I can still use
Internet Explorer, but Mozilla is just much safer in general, so I'd rather use that. Any
advice, answers or ideas would be very welcome. thanks in advance.....

barebones (13)
I love firefox also, but I'm looking for a barebones browser that just basically has an address

can play almost any media type (music mp3s, ogg, wmv, etc...video's like .mov, .avi, divX
encoded, etc....images like jpgs, gifs, etc...). MPC is a "barebones" program so to speak - there
is nothing fancy about it at all, but it is a simple program that is extremely versatile. A....

The GDIplus vulnerability (27)
This is about a new flaw in Internet Explorer and how it renders one of the most common image
formats in the web, the "JPEG". The code that enables a hacker to exploit this flaw is out to the
public and therefore in a matter of a couple of weeks, we'll be expecting a new virus that uses
this exploit. The GDIplus DLL (Graphic Device Interface plus) or gdiplus.dll is only enabled in
Windows 2000 & XP. So if you're running on an older version of Windows and if you've
upgraded to XP SP2, then you're not vulnerable to this exploit. Read more about it here ....
