How to make Mozilla Firefox extremely streamlined
The following guide will show you how to make Mozilla Firefox extremely streamlined without there being any loss of functionality.
If you follow this guide through, you're Firefox will end up looking similar to this (the only difference might be the theme you decide to use):
Hide Menubar (this will obviously hide the menu-bar. Simply press the Alt key to make the menu-bar come up when you have to use it.)
Smart Stop/Reload (this will combine the Stop and Reload buttons, making them one; this is what it's like in Google Chrome.) 4. Since you removed the search-box in Firefox, you'll want to have Firefox still be able to perform Google searches without leaving the page you're on, right? To be able to perform Google searches using the address-bar in Firefox, you simply have to do the following: Type 'about:config' in the address-bar. You'll get a warning message; ignore it and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise'. In the filter box, type 'keyword.URL'. Modify the string to http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q= After doing this, you'll be able to perform Google searches directly from your address-bar without having to use the search-box. This is similar to how Google Chrome functions. 5. Install a good compact theme of your choice from addons.mozilla.org You're done! I hope you enjoy your new streamlined Firefox setup. PS. I understand that some people out there may find this setup to be overly minimalistic; you're free to change/not change whatever you wish/don't wish to change.
