You often configure the browser using the “about:config” address entry. But looking for the right setting in the endless list is quite difficult. Besides, you also the run the risk of changing the wrong parameters by mistake.
The free English add-in Configuration Mania offers the option of making innumerable settings of the advanced configuration of Firefox with the help of an interactive dialog. The tool is available for download at https://addons. mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/4420. To install it, open the XPI file with the browser or click “Add to Firefox” on the website. Install the additional software by clicking “Install now”. You can then reach the extensive settings dialog from “Tools | Configuration Mania”. First click the desired category at the top of the dialog box, “Browser” or “Security” for instance. You will then have more tabs for selection for the respective settings. You will find a hierarchical menu in the “Browser” category. Here, click the plus sign in front of “TabBrowsing” for instance. Then look for “Save sessions at intervals of”. You can change the value for the frequency with which Firefox automatically saves the current status of your session so that it can be restored if the system crashes. The default value of “10000” is a figure in milliseconds so that a backup of the data is created every 10 seconds. The corresponding entry for “about:config” is “browser.sessionstore. interval”—it is more difficult to locate this in the long list than through this dialog. Countless other settings can be made in a similar manner.
