# Title:  firefox rocks
# Subject:  Imagine, the Mozilla team finally hatched a "Son of Mozilla" or "Mozilla, Jr."  The browsers name is formally MozillaFirebird, but I alias it to 'firebird'. It is 27Mb in size and 'Extensions' can be added on a per user basis. These are my notes setup, and some configurations.

# Then!!! the FirebirdSQL project bitches, feeling self-important and special.
# I say boycot the FirebirdSQL project as they don't know how to be cool.
# They on their web site ( www.firebirdsql.org ) they say, "we welcome Mozilla's firy fox into the barnyard"
# In short: Fuck them.
# My user config files:  notes/firefox_user_files.tar.gz

# Get the browser
 wget -c http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/0.8/firefox-0.8-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz

# Unpack into opt 
su
cd /opt/
tar -zxvpf ~/firefox-0.8-i686-linux-gtk2+xft.tar.gz
cd firefox/
exit

vi ~/.bashrc
#
# mozilla firebird command
#
alias firefox='/opt/firefox/firefox &'

# From http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html
# Note: So that all my browsers can access the same bookmarks,
# I store my bookmarks in ~/bookmarks.html
12. Create ~/.phoenix/default/xxxxxxxx.slt/user.js
// Use your Netscape 6/7 or Mozilla bookmarks in Mozilla Firebird 
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.file", "/home/jstile/bookmarks.html");
// Path to Cache folder:
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory","/tmp");
// This one makes a huge difference. Last value in milliseconds (default is 250)
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 100);
// Instead of download progress windows, use the Sidebar:
user_pref("browser.download.openSidebar", true);
user_pref("browser.download.useProgressDialogs", false);
// Stop reusing active windows:
//user_pref("advanced.system.supportDDEExec", false);
