 |
|
Random FireFox tip:
If you want FireFox to AutoScroll when clicking on the middle mouse button instead of pasting clipboard text ala XServer style do the following:
In the address bar type: about:config. This will open the internal FF configuration page.
change the following flags to "false":
| Code: |
middlemouse.openNewWindow
middlemouse.pase
|
This will make sure FF ignores the XServer middle mouse button click-n-paste.
Now, to enable AutoScroll simply change the following flag to "ture":
Another useful feature you can turn on is SmoothScroll. To do this simply change the following flag to "ture":
Have fun! |

Thanks! I didn't know about the about:config thing.
A few things to change/note:
Leaving middlemouse.openNewWindow to True doesn't affect the 'auto scroll', and lets you open URLs in a new tab (very usefull)
'middlemouse.pase' should be 'middlemouse.paste'
If you want to be able to close a tab by middle-clicking on it (like under Windows) change middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.
This is cool, now I can autoscroll and middle-click off of it without loading a different page, and close tabs by middle clicking them. (you can turn on auto scroll in options, but if middle-click outside the circle, the load URL thing takes over and takes you to a new page) |

I'm happy that you like it.
The about:config has alot of buried options that you normally don't have access to.
I just found this:
| Code: |
browser.turbo.enabled
|
I wonder what it does. Probably accelerates the render of web pages.... |
