default folder for new bookmarks to Bookmark Menu

I you are tired of new bookmarks in Firefox 58 going in the "Other Bookmarks" folder, you can change it with the Default Bookmark Folder add-on.

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.2

To zoom pages by default in Firefox, open the about:config page via the location/address bar, and change the value of layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to fx 1.2, to zoom in 120% on all pages by default. This will also increase the size of icons and tabs, but this way you don't need an add-on for larger text on all web pages by default.

Firefox add-ons

A few great add-ons for Firefox, which will improve security, download-speed and usability, and block Google WebP images:

Control Firefox cookies with Cookie AutoDelete

From Firefox 57 onwards, Add-ons will stop working and be replaced with WebExtensions. One very used Add-on is Self-Destructing Cookies, but this extension will not be rewritten as a WebExtension. As a replacement you can use Cookie AutoDelete.

Firefox Keyword Google search

The Keyword field in Firefox Bookmarks can be used to create shortcuts and smart searches. For some reason, sometimes if you define a new keyword, the latest keyword will be deleted. Keeping track of your keywords is hard though, since there isn't a way to list all keywords in use...

Change Firefox default search engine behaviour in the location bar

If you type some keywords in the address bar (also known as location bar) in Firefox and press enter, it will perform a search for these words.

To change search engine, or configure the behaviour, type about:config in the location bar, and search for keyword.URL, update to match your needs.
