Here are some tips for anything you could want to do with Firefox. Some tips just propose and explain a feature of Firefox, some show how to change the code to do something, and some explain how to customize. If you don't find how to do what you want here, look for an extension that does it.
This is not the page to link to your own personal site, MozillaZine threads, or anything other than a link to a Knowledge Base article from this website. Links to outside sources that you want to add should be added to Firefox links. It would also be appreciated if you would convert useful MozillaZine threads to Knowledge Base articles or add them to the "External Links" section of an appropriate article.
