Making Firefox send NTLM and Kerberos passwords
This is useful if you have internal intranet sites (such as
Share Point) which use NTLM or Kerberos authentication. Setting these will pass your credentials through automatically.
network.automatic-ntlm-auth.trusted-uris - Comma separated list of domains to pass NTLM auth to. Partial matches seem to work, e.g.
intranet, .intranet
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris - Comma separated list of domains to pass Kerberos auth to. Partial matches seem to work, e.g.
intranet.company.com
A few fixes for Firefox 2 and 3
So I've
finally installed Firefox 2, and all is well. Except for one small thing. Some <expletive_deleted> thought that a sensible mapping for the backspace key on *nix is page up. So there I am, merrily hitting backspace, and nothing is happening. Why! How! Where!
Fortunately, it's easy to change, type
about:config in the address bar, filter for
backspace, and change the value to
0.
This still appears to be the same on FF3
It appears they've also changed the accesskey shortcut from alt- to alt+shit-. And alt-s (as used on many many forums to submit) is the shortcut to the history menu. Fortunately, this can be fixed, again by going to
about:config and changing
ui.key.contentAccess to
4. See
here for more detail.

Some older stuff, probably outdated now
British English language pack for firefox and thunderbird:

If you've upgraded to 1.5, you might have noticed that they've adopted IE style "Friendly HTTP Error Messages" which is incredibly annoying. To turn them off, do the following:
- Open up a new tab (CTRL+T) or window (CTRL+N).
- Type in de addressbar: about:config.
- In the filterbar type: error and press enter.
- Now set the value of the ‘browser.xul.error_pages.enabled‘ to ‘true‘. Double clicking will do.
- Restart Firefox.
