Came across this and thought I would post it. 
FYI: Great Collection of Mozilla/Firebird Hacks

I had originally written about download throughput hacks and a FavIcon hack, and after looking around I found a few more that are of interest and I figured I'd share them with everyone. BTW, these hacks will also work with Netscape 7.1.
To add these hacks you have to:
exit out of the browser completely,
find your prefs.js file,
backup your prefs.js file,
copy and past the hacks below at the bottom of the prefs.js file,
save the prefs file and
then open the browser.
Another tip for hacking Preferences is that you can use the about:config screen which lets you add, modify or reset values for Preferences.
Again, I'm not taking credit for all of these hacks, just some, but I figured putting them all together would be a great resource, enjoy.

// This is the time in milliseconds for the Find As You Type to stop watching for keystrokes:
user_pref("accessibility.typeaheadfind.timeout", 3000);
