dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled - block sites from preventing you using copy+paste e.g. in email and password fields.
I’ve only recently started using this one, so ask me again in a couple of months if it solves the issue :] or if it has unwanted side-effects - I know at least it doesn’t prevent websites interacting with the clipboard entirely e.g. with a button to click to copy text to the clipboard
I always like to start over with a clean slate. The one that’s been with me for about 15 years now is browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab set to false.
You have to actually toggle to see it but IMO it massively improves how scrolling feels.
There are a few more scrolling-related options out there on the net if there's a particular "feel" you want to go for. https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox/blob/main/Smoothfox.js provides a couple you can try out, and most of these custom scrolling options use msdPhysics as a baseline.
I just switched from Chrome today and I was wondering how to improve the scrolling (it felt heavy and slow). This setting seems to have worked wonders! Thanks!
I like resistFingerprinting = true but it may be a bit much for some people. You lose some keyboard hotkey capabilities in RES and all your windows always open at a certain size upon relaunch/new window.
is there maybe a plugin that can remove all the moz shit mentioned here? i dont want to go through all comments. trimmedurls, pocket and actionbar…hate it.
It might still be useful to turn it off in some scenarios. For example you might not want firefox bothering you with the account on work PC where it might be against company policy to use the cloud sync.
Why would you want that? Doesn’t that block you from using basically any online call?
Personally I have a separate Ungoogled Chromium installation for online calls, since some of those call/conferencing services kick up a fuss when launched inside Firefox ☹️
I have a slow connection, so privacy.partition.network_state = false was a game changer. It prevents firefox to re-download an image (or video, or whatever) when you open it in a new tab (State Partitioning in Mozilla docs).
Warning: the main goal of State Partitioning is to prevent cross-site tracking, so this option will make that easier. In my case it’s worth it and I mitigate that by other means, but you should be aware of it.
I looked up “pocket.enabled” in about:config, but there wasn’t an entry by that exact name. There was “extensions.pocket.enabled” though. Is that the same?
On laptops, I really recommend everyone sets apz.overscroll.enabled to true. It adds the MacOS/iOS overscroll effect when you fling a page fast and you reach the bottom. It does not add any functionnality but it just makes everything so much smoother in my opinion
I think it could maybe be enabled by default in Windows now? Not sure as I haven’t used windows in quite some time and when I did I had it enabled manually so maybe it’s default now
