Firefox Tip: Opening Search results in a new tab

Here’s a useful tip to always open your Firefox search results in a new tab:

  • In the address bar type about:config
  • Look for browser.search.openintab
  • Double click the False value (in the Value column) to change it to True
  • Now try to search something in your favorite search engine

PS: this works in every OS (at least Linux and Windows).

Firefox Widgets

Firefox widgets (buttons, radio buttons, drop down menus, text fields and checkboxes) in Ubuntu don’t look so good. I don’t like it. And I’m not the only one.
So, we can change the images and CSS code for the widgets so Firefox will look really nice :)

Here’s a tip from Ubuntu Forums:

Steps to make Firefox widgets look good:

  • Download the Firefox Widget Installer
  • Run the installer
    • unpack the archive and run the graphic_installer
    • install in the Firefox directory (default is /usr/lib/firefox)
  • Make this the default look, even when Firefox is updated
    • to make the default look
    sudo dpkg-divert --add /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css
    • to undo the previous
    sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css
