Do any of these issues bug you?

• Step size for scrolling by the cursor keys is so short.
• A built-in smooth scrolling is somewhat less sensitive and laggy.
• When you flick a wheel so quick, scrolling should move farther but just count ticks of a wheel.

If so, you should really give this fantastic add-on a shot.  You can pick up this add-on from the Firefox Add-ons website.

This isn’t something I personally will use much because I have two monitors.  However, I could see how this would come in handy to save space if your desktop was already bogged down with a lot of things going on. It could also make a good way to simplify your desktop too.

Want to give this add-on a shot? You can download MinimizeToTray Revived from the Firefox Add-ons website.

If you have more than one plugin installed that can handle the same media type, this can cause a conflict that prevents some embedded media from playing. You may be able to fix the issue by disabling one of the plugins.

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.

2. In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Plugins panel.
3. In the list of plugins, select the plugin you wish to troubleshoot.
   • If you want to disable the plugin, click the Disable button.
   • If you want to re-enable the plugin, click the Enable button

For example, you may need to disable the VLC plugin to play embedded QuickTime or Windows Media content.

Here are the steps you will need to follow:

1. Click the Bookmarks button on the right side of the navigation toolbar and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window.
2. Right-click on the folder you want to sort, then select Sort By Name. The bookmarks in that folder will be sorted alphabetically.

Sorting bookmarks by name in the Library window will be reflected in the Bookmarks sidebar, menu, and button. If is always good to do a little house cleaning – and sorting your bookmarks alphabetically will help you find the link you are looking for faster.

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
2. Click the Advanced panel.
3. Click the Update tab. The update options are displayed.

Now, under Firefox Updates you should see three options:

Hope this helps you out if you are looking for a way to disable Firefox from updating itself without you.

With Firefox, updates will be downloaded in the background and will be installed the next time you restart Firefox. If an update has been waiting to be installed for more than 24 hours, you’ll see a notification with the option to restart Firefox and install the update.

So, how can you manually check for an update?

1. At the top of the Firefox window click the Firefox button, go over to the Help menu and select About Firefox. For Windows XP: Go to the Help menu and select About Firefox.
2. The About Firefox window will open and Firefox will begin checking for updates. If updates are available, they will begin downloading automatically. If Firefox is already up to date, just close the About Firefox window.
3. When the updates are downloaded and ready to be installed, click Restart to Update. Firefox will be restarted and the updates will be installed.

So, there you have it.  Now you can make sure you are using the latest version of Firefox so you are updated, secure and using all the latest and greatest features.

To get to the Advanced JavaScript settings, follow these steps:

1. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
2. In the Options window, select the Content panel.
   1. Enable JavaScript: Select this option to permit JavaScripts to execute on your computer.
   2. To change advanced settings, click Advanced….

Now that you are there, let me explain what each of these settings mean:

• Move or resize existing windows: To prevent JavaScripts from changing the position or size of existing windows, deselect this option.
• Raise or lower windows: This option allows sites to place windows below or above existing windows.
• Disable or replace context menus: When you right-click an item, a sub-menu may appear. This menu, called a “context menu,” can be disabled through JavaScripts. To prevent them from disabling context menus, deselect this option.

There you have it.  I hope this insight on how you can edit a few basic ways your browser interacts with JavaScript. I really wish Firefox would add more control, however this is a good way to edit a few basic things.

Here are the steps you need to take to manually backup your bookmarks:

1. Click the Bookmarks button on the right side of the navigation toolbar and select Show All Bookmarks to open the Library window.
2. In the Library window, click the Import and Backup button and then select Backup….
3. In the Bookmarks backup filename window that opens, choose a location to save the file, which is named bookmarks-”date”.json by default. The desktop is usually a good spot, but any place that is easy to remember will work.
4. Save the bookmarks json file. The Bookmarks backup filename window will close and you can close the Library window.

If your bookmarks are important, you need to keep them backed up.  I have gone through my fair share of computer restores and bookmarks are one of those things you take for granted. 

Here are the steps you need to take.
