These are some simple Firefox 1.0 tweaks that I read about. Many are from this site.
Enable location bar display in popups in Firefox:
- Enter about:config in the Location Bar.
- Enter
dom.disable_window_open_feature.locationin the filter field. - Right-click (Ctrl+click on Mac OS) the preference option and choose Toggle (the value should change to true).
Fix 1.0 cache memory leak:
Create a new integer browser.cache.memory.capacity and set its value
to 16000 for 16MB of cache memory.
Save some memory to make un-minimize quicker:
Create a new boolean config.trim_on_minimize and set its value to false.
Speeding up Firefox on Windows XP: You can speed up the loading of Firefox on Windows XP by adding it to the programs that XP prefetches. To do this, right-click the Start Menu item for Firefox, or any icon you use to start Firefox, and open the Properties dialog box. Add a space plus /Prefetch:1 to the command line and click OK. The resulting line might look as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1
