So lately, I’ve been working on some php scripts. One of which is a content management script (CMS) which is going to be completely customizble. You choose what it even calls the content (posts, pics, books, ect..) and it will have some serious features. Ive currently been working on the file upload part of it. Ive pretty much finished it just now adding the Admin Config UI so that you can change the settings without opening up some php files to edit. I should have some previews of it in about two weeks. We’ll see!

I’ve recently noticed that many people out there have yet to figure out the great advantages of changing the settings of Firefox’s about:config page.

EXAMPLE:
Setting Name : Setting Value : Setting Type

To change a setting, go to the url “about:config”, if it is your first time click the button saying you know what you are doing. Then make sure it doesn’t already exist by putting the setting’s name that you are going to change into the bar and see if anything comes up, if not right click the space and go to new>> then select the setting’s type, I will tell you the setting type.

Performance:

browser.cache.memory.capacity : 50000 : Integer If you have enough ram (more then 256mb) you may want to raise the size limit of Firefox’s ram cache. 50000 would raise the size to 48 mb. The size is specified in bytes.
nglayout.initialpaint.delay : 0 : Integer The delay in milliseconds that Firefox waits to display a page when loading. This should be changed to 0.

Network:

network.http.pipelining : true : Boolean If you have good connection, better then dial-up. You can enable this to get faster load times. The reason it is not enabled by default is that it is still beta and has some unknown side effects. None which make this not worth enabling.
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests : 8 : Integer This should be changed with the setting above. It allows multiple connections to one server when loading so that you can download the page many times faster.
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server : 18 : Integer This raises the amount of connections when loading a page. This can also cause some minor problems on some servers that limit the amount of connections per ip. Although those problems don’t stop you from loading the page or anything, It might cause a bit of a slow down on those pages.

Features:

middlemouse.paste : true : Boolean This allows you to press the middle mouse button to paste inside url bars and text forms. Very useful because you rarely ever middle click a form.
browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing : true : Boolean When viewing a image, If it’s too big, autosize it. This actually is more useful then you would think, Although you do sometimes not realize the image is that big.
disable_xpi_delay.prompt_disableInstallDelay : true : Boolean Disable the delay when installing addons.
browser.search.openintab : true : Boolean Open the search results page in a new tab when searching in the search bar. This can also be done by pressing shift while pressing enter when searching.
config.trim_on_minimize : true : Boolean When you minimize the window, it will now transfer cache in ram to disk cache. Allowing other programs to use that ram.
