Make your icons small. Go to View – Toolbars – Customize and check the “Use small icons <a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/15-coolest-firefox-tricks-ever.html#" target="_blank">http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/15-coolest-firefox-tricks-ever.html#</a>” box. 2) Smart Keywords.  If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say IMDB.com’s people search),  this is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the  search box, select “Add a Keyword for this search”, give the keyword a  name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say  “actor”) and save it. Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to  Firefox’s address bar, type “actor” and the name of the actor and press  return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.3) Keyboard shortcuts.  This is where you become a real Jedi. It just takes a little while to  learn these, but once you do, your browsing will be super fast. Here are  some of the most common (and my personal favs):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Spacebar (page down)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Shift-Spacebar (page up)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+F (find)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Alt-N (find next)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+D (bookmark page)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ctrl+T (new tab)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+K (go to search box)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+L (go to address bar)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+= (increase text size)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+- (decrease text size)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl-W (close tab)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> F5 (reload)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Alt-Home (go to homepage)</li> </ul> 4) Auto-complete.  This is another keyboard shortcut, but it’s not commonly known and very  useful. Go to the address bar (Control-L) and type the name of the site  without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say “google”. Then press  Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in the “www” and the  “.com” and take you there – like magic! For .net addresses, press  Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter. 5) Tab navigation. Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)</li> </ul> 6) Mouse shortcuts.  Sometimes you’re already using your mouse and it’s easier to use a  mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard. Master these cool ones:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Middle click on link (opens in new tab)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shift-scroll down (previous page)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shift-scroll up (next page)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Middle click on a tab (closes tab)</li> </ul> 7) Delete items from address bar history.  Firefox’s ability to automatically show previous URLs you’ve visited,  as you type, in the address bar’s drop-down history menu is very cool.  But sometimes you just don’t want those URLs to show up (I won’t ask  why). Go to the address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the  drop-down menu will appear with the URLs of pages you’ve visited with  those letters in them. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you  want to delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear. 8) User chrome.  If you really want to trick out your Firefox, you’ll want to create a  UserChrome.css file and customize your browser. 9) Create a user.js file.  Another way to customize Firefox, creating a user.js file can really  speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create a text file named user.js  in your profile folder 10) about:config.  The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with  if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main  configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address  bar.  11) Add a keyword for a bookmark .  Go to your bookmarks much faster by giving them keywords. Right-click  the bookmark and then select Properties. Put a short keyword in the  keyword field, save it, and now you can type that keyword in the address  bar and it will go to that bookmark.12) Speed up Firefox. If you have a broadband connection<a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/15-coolest-firefox-tricks-ever.html#" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://www.lifehack.org/articles/technology/15-coolest-firefox-tricks-ever.html#" target="_blank"></a>  (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page  loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once,  instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup  connections). Here’s how:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Type “about:config” into the  address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and  change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Also,  right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it  “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This value is  the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it  receives.</li> </ul> 13) Limit RAM usage. If Firefox  takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of  RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter  “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to  50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try  15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram. 14) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized.  This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it,  taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in  speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go  to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name  it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart  Firefox for these settings to take effect. 15) Move or remove the close tab button.  Do you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You  can move them or remove them, again through about:config. Edit the  preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of  each value:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 0: Display a close button on the active tab only</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 1 Default) Display close buttons on all tabs</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 2 Don’t display any close buttons</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> 3 Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)</li> </ul></blockquote>
