Free stuff to boink for: Firefox 2.0



I've installed the upgraded Firefox 2.0 and then I configured it using this guide.

Firefox 2.0 is very easy to configure. All you have to do is to type about:config in the address bar and change the value of the keys you would like to update.

These were my changes.

browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

0

This removes the scrolling function on the tabs. Not being able to see all my tabs bothered me.


browser.urlbar.hideGoButton

true

This hides the "Go" button in the address bar.



The rest of the updates, like the built-in spell-checker, close button on tabs, and increased security against phishing and stuff, I digg!

The full list here. Frankly, I couldn't be bothered to read through it.
