Firefox Settings

From MyWiki

These are the details of how I like to setup my preferred browser. I use two profiles, one for general surfing and one for development.

[edit] Toolbars

To configure the default profile toolbar:

  1. Hide the Bookmarks Toolbar and any other extra toolbars (e.x. Delicious).
  2. Using customize... setup the navigation toobar like this: Back/Forward | Location | Tag | Stop | Space | Space | Search
  3. Set Delicious to hide the Bookmarks menu
  4. Hide the star using the directions at ffextensionguru

The final result should look like this.

I setup the development profile the same way, leaving out the delicious parts. I also leave the star and the web developer toolbar showing. It looks like this:
