A Day in Paradise

Maybe I’ll “upgrade” now… can’t stand the way FF2 works with tabs

<awormus> anyone know a way to put the tabs in ff2 back to how they worked in ff1.5?
<Akrabat> yes
<awormus> TELL ME
<Akrabat> I suppose I’d better look it up now
<awormus> I have FF2 on my laptop, but there is NO way I could work with those silly scrolling tabls
<Akrabat> user.js in your profile directory
<awormus> what’s the use of a tab if it’s not visible on your screen
<Akrabat> user_pref(”browser.tabs.closeButtons”, 0);
<awormus> Akrabat: thanks
<Akrabat> where the number is one of:
<Akrabat> 0 = close button on active tab only
<Akrabat> 1 = close button on all tabs
<Akrabat> 2 = no close button
<Akrabat> 3 = close button at end of bar
<awormus> nice
<awormus> what about the scrolling tabs
<ramsey> Akrabat, that’s for the close buttons
<Akrabat> then you need
<Akrabat> user_pref(”browser.tabs.tabMinWidth”, 70);
<Akrabat> to make the tabs a more sane min size
<Akrabat> looking for the last one
<Akrabat> ah yeah
<Akrabat> user_pref(”browser.tabs.tabMinWidth”, 0);
<Akrabat> I upped it again to 70 when I worked out that I didn’t mind the scrolling as long as it didn’t happen often
<awormus> Akrabat: thanks
<awormus> I guess once I have 20 tabs open I can handle scrollign
<Akrabat> with tabMinWidth of 70, I get 183 tabs on average before scrolling
<Akrabat> 18, rather
<Akrabat> another useful setting: user_pref(”network.cookie.cookieBehavior”, 1); /*1 = Only cookies from the originating server are allowed.*/
