To make sure your preference changes are saved, and to test the effects of any preference change(s), close all open instances of Firefox and restart Firefox. For a more complete list of Firefox preferences see the following article: Mozillazine About:Config Entries I've only tried to cover those which I have tested and believe are the most useful.
There are far more preferences which you can change using About:Config than the ones listed in this guide. Restart Firefox, open About:Config and it should no longer be there. However this won't remove a user-created preference from About:Config - you will need to go to your Prefs.js file (See Prefs.js on the previous page), open it with a text editor and do a search for the preference name, highlight and delete the entire line that it is on, then close and save the file. To undo the effects of a mistakenly entered or undesirable custom-created preference, right-click on it and select Reset, then close all instances of Firefox and restart it. Furthermore, some preferences which have tempting names are legacy items from previous builds of Firefox, or simply do not work. Many preferences with interesting names can already be altered via the standard Firefox options, and so are not listed below. Only working preferences which have a noticeable practical impact are provided here. To reset a preference to its default configuration, right-click on it and select Reset. Those which are still at their default setting will be unbolded and have the status 'Default'. Preferences which you have altered at any point (whether edited manually, or changed via the Firefox Options) will appear in bold in the About:Config screen and have a status of 'User Set'. To do this, right-click on an empty area of the About:Config screen, select New and select the type of preference as specified, then give it the name exactly as shown here, and an appropriate value. If you cannot find a preference mentioned below in your own About:Config listing you will have to create it as a new preference. Some preferences are not in About:Config by default these are denoted with a *Create tag in the list below. Or you can right-click on a preference and select Modify or Toggle as relevant.īefore making any changes here, read the information on the previous page, and importantly, Please read all of the important notes below carefully before attempting to tweak your About:Config. You can change the value of any preference quickly by double-clicking on it: Booleans will toggle from True to False and back Integers and Strings will open a dialog box which allows you to input a new value. An Integer preference can only take a whole number value Booleans can only take True (on) or False (off) values and Strings can consist of any combination of letters and numbers. There are three main types of preference variables shown here: Integers, Boolean and String variables. You will be a shown a warning which you should accept, and then you will see a long listing of preferences sorted alphabetically. To view and alter these preferences, you must first go to the Firefox Address Bar and type About:Config, then press Enter. This is the most common way to perform advanced tweaking in Firefox, as it provides access to the widest range of settings, known as 'preferences'. #MAXIMUM ACTION PCGAMINGWWIKI HOW TO#
