Firefox setup

From Hugme.org

These are the things I do when I set up firefox. Remember these are the things 'I' do, you may not like the same preferences.

Tools > Options

Main

• Downloads > Uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"
• Downloads > Click on "Always ask me where to save files" (uncheck)

Tabs

• Always show the tab bar (check)

Privacy

• Accept cookies from sites (uncheck)

Security

• Passwords > Remember passwords for sites (uncheck)

I always add an exception to each site I want to allow a cookie. It's a pain sometimes but I feel the security and anonymity is worth it.
These are some advanced options, I wouldn't do this if you don't know what you're doing:

-> about:config

• network.http.pipelining = true
• network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
• network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 32
• (left click) new -> integer: nglayout.initialpaint.delay=0
