somewhere from the web said:This is an easy method of keeping it all in one centralized location as well as giving you a bit more control when it comes to setting size limitations.
- In the address bar type in about:config
- Right Click anywhere on the white are of that page and select New | String
- Enter in browser.cache.disk.parent_directory then click OK
- Next enter the full path you wish the cache to be stored in (C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Cache would work just fine)
- Close FF and delete the old cache directories.
- Either create the directory or restart FF and it should create the directory for you.
Well SeaMonkey only puts the most common stuff in the preferences and you can always go into about:config if need be. It's the best of both worlds IMHO.mfarley said:It would seem to me about:config is a blessing. If every option there was stored in the menu system I'd be lost in a see of unnecessary hovering.
about:config is dynamic, easy to use, and simple to tweak.
You need to get over the SeaMonkey fanboyism. Fx is faster, that's exactly what it was designed to be, and there are no features missing.Xie said:Well SeaMonkey only puts the most common stuff in the preferences and you can always go into about:config if need be. It's the best of both worlds IMHO.
Firefox is still the baby that is feature stripped and slower SeaMonkey.
Not a fanboy at all. I've used both and have seen the benchmarks showing the speed thing. Until FX drops the extra core stuff it won't be faster then 1.8.SPeedY_B said:You need to get over the SeaMonkey fanboyism.

Even though firefox has a popup blocker that works well. but it does not seem block the new "flash" popups. use the about:config to add new script to block them.
Firefox: Block Flash popups
1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
2. Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
3. Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
4. Set the value to 2.
The possible values are:
* 0: Allow all popups from plugins.
* 1: Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum.
* 2: Block popups from plugins.
* 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites.
I would back up your profile folder just in case, so if something should go bad you can just replace contents of new profile w/ old contents. You really only need bookmarks.html for bookmarks but some other usefull files in there also for things like cookies, ect.Grandmaster said:Add to that the fact that two of my favorite extentions don't work and I want to revert back to the last version. Is it possible to do that without losing any of my bookmarks and settings? What would be the easiest way to go about doing that?
