We’ve all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

If you’re lazy, librewolf is hardened firefox (sometimes it can break sites though)

I’ve found this particular trick to be very neat:

For me:

browser.ctrlTab.recentlyUsedOrder: False

browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent: True

dom.popup_maximum: 100

browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel: False

good stuff!

I always do the last one with browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir set to True

I have my default Download dir set to /tmp anyways, which practically also makes the browser do that I believe.

browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent: True

I use this too. Great feature for tab hoarding keyboard warriors like me. Use Alt/Cmd + 9 to jump to the last tab.

dom.popup_maximum: 100

What does that do?

browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel: False

Why?
