Firefox 1.0 Tips and Tricks

I'd post this in order to help all of the people who've been flocking away from IE in favor of Firefox. I've found a couple of nifty things recently, and I just wanted to offer this info to all Firefox 1.0 users.

Stop webmasters from killing your right-click menu
1) Go to your Tools menu, and choose Options
2) In the new Options panel, choose Web Features on the left
3) The bottom checkbox is for enabling/disabling JavaScript. Next to that is an Advanced button. Click it.
4) Uncheck the option for Disable or Replace Context Menus

Stop webmasters from resizing your windows
1) Go to your Tools menu, and choose Options
2) In the new Options panel, choose Web Features on the left
3) The bottom checkbox is for enabling/disabling JavaScript. Next to that is an Advanced button. Click it.
4) Uncheck the option for Move or Resize Existing Windows

Block Flash sites from opening popups
1) In your address bar, type about:config
2) Right-click in the window and choose New » Integer
3) When it asks for the preference name, type privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
4) For the value, choose either 0 (no blocking), 1 (treat like any other popup window), or 2 (block completely)
5) Restart Firefox

Block in-page ads
1) Download the AdBlock extension for Firefox and install it.
2) Read these instructions
3) Load the latest dated definitions from this archive. You can also Google around to see if better definition lists are around.
