Is there a way to keep new tab in dark mode after installing themes?

    Enable upcoming (experimental) WebRender to improve performances set gfx.webrender.all to true in about:config

      Custom search in the address bar:
      Keyword+space+parameter

      Parameter can allow us to refine our searches and limit them to our history, bookmarks, open tabs and page titles or addresses.

      List of search parameters:
      ^ to search in the navigation history.
      * to search in bookmarks.
      % to search in the open tabs.
      # to search in page titles.
      @ to search in the URL addresses of the pages.

      Ex: To search a word only in history, type keyword ^

      -

      Select all text when clicking on the URL bar:
      browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll to true in about:config

      Nice new addon, perfect cosmetic filter to use with uMatrix for example:

      Damn, I just discovered that with Alt held down and the mouse wheel, we can go back and forth in the history of an active tab:
      scroll down= previous page(s) to first page
      scroll up= next page(s) to last page

      But the menu bar appears, it's ugly 😂 so I press another key (super_L for ex) before release Alt

      mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y in about:config, is the distance covered on a web page at each step of the mouse wheel.

      • Default is 100
      • 50 is like line by line.
      • 800 is like all the height displayed that we travel, a bit like the pages of a book.

      200 is my setting (with mousewheel.acceleration.factor = 19 & mousewheel.acceleration.start = 1) , I find that 100 is too small and 400 not very practical.

        TabMixPlus was a very decent extension for Firefox...
        Anyone know how to add "close tabs to left" on right-click menu?

          sangheeta I find mousewheel.acceleration.factor to 10 and mousewheel.acceleration.start to 1 the most comfortable setting

            i didnt like the acceleration thing so i changed mousewheel.min_line_scroll_amount from 5 to 75 in about:config - works for me!

            Container Tabs, the Containers Plus add-on, etc. is the reason I switched from Vivaldi Snapshot to Firefox. When you deal with a bunch of GSuite Business accounts, or want to separate your work from Personal or Solus stuff it gets really handy.

            Plus the ability to say "always open up this URL in this container" is great. Means I can always open up some internal work infra in the right container ❤️

            Not sure why there is so much off topic Firefox bashing here (isn't that the purpose of reddit?), not super useful to the 61% of users that picked FF as their favorite browser on these very forums.
            I usually use:

            • layers.acceleration.force-enabled:true (fixes screen tearing in some Linux distro + hardware comboes, such as Solus Budgie with Intel GPUs)
            • browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll:true (allows to select entire text in url bar with a single click)

            Want all your bookmarks in tab?
            Go to:
            chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
            and bookmark it.
