Firefox tip of the day

[Chan]

I don't know about you but I dislike it when firefox defaults makes large images resize to fit your screen and without options in the Options menu, it's a bit trickier to do it, but here is how...

In your address bar type:
about:config
This brings up a list of options with a search bar at the top of the page, either scroll down or type all or part of "browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing" Then just double click on the result to switch it to false.

There you go now all those large images will no longer be automatically shrunk in FireFox, you can still shrink them however by clicking on them, just as you would to enlarge the shrunken image.

Here's some other good edits you can make:
Open Firefox.
Type "about:config" in the adress bar (no quotation marks).
Find these options, double click each one and change to below values:

Code: Select all

network.http.max-connections: 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server: 24
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy: 12
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server: 6
network.http.pipelining: true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests: 32
network.http.proxy.pipelining: true

They're supposed to make it load faster.
