How I tweak my Firefox
One thing I find very annoying are fixed size windows not designed for firefox. I would spend 5 minutes filling in some long form just to find out that submit button sank bellow the frame and I can’t resize the window. To fix this problem you can tap in about:config into your firefox address bar and hit enter to open a very secret configuration menu.

Type “resize” into filter and you should end up with “dom.disable_window_move_resize”. Double click the value so that it says “false”. You should now be able to resize any window.
Sometimes I need to limit the amount of RAM firefox eats. Filter “capacity” so that you end up with “browser.cache.memory.capacity”. Then change the value to something a bit smaller. I usually halve my value until I am happy with performance.
Have you ever closed a tab by an accident and lost all your work? You can restore your session when your browser crashed but not when you close it by an accident. You will never lose your work again. Simply filter “startup” and change the value of “browser.startup.page” to 3. Next time you start firefox, instead of going to your homepage it will automatically restore the last page you were viewing as well as the data contained on that page. Obviously be careful with this one. If you were looking at something naughty you might not want your kids to accidental restore that page.

A nice tip.
Session Manager for Firefox (http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2324) is a good thing to have for free.
It keeps record of last 10 Tab Sessions in Firefox. So, if you close a tab, you can instantly have it back by going to it though the Tools Option in the Main Menu. You can also save sessions with it.

@ Maria, I have also done it in College here. It was funny because I had to tell my examinator how to pronounce things
