FireTune 0.2

**MIG-31** · Mar 17, 2005, 05:38 PM

FireTune for Mozilla Firefox v1.x was developed for an easy and fast optimization of your browsing experience with Firefox. Usually you have to optimize Firefox manually, which can be time consuming and difficult for the novice user. FireTune helps you here - it includes all the performance optimizations. The only thing you must do is: make your selection. It does the work for you.

JUST REMEMBER that this will overwrite all of your ADBLOCK and other settings... so if u have extensions it will overwrite the configs and it will reset them..

Good thing it didn't work for me. I just did their tweaks manually, and discovered that I already had done them

Yea-it over wrote too much for me-protected cookies, ad blocks, forms, ect. It was too much of a hassle to redo them all, look up old passwords ect, themes. It even changed my home page!So I just restored my back up. I'll check out the tweaks and do it manually.
They will need to add a few options like keep cookies, keep forms, keep pw's. keep ad block setting, keep themes etc. Let the user pick.
About the only things it didn't get rid of was the way I had my tool bars set up, my extensions and bookmarks.

the included file readme.txt tells you all about every Prefs and entries that this program adds to your Firefox config file (prefs file), or modifys the existing values and status.

i just tested it, it adds directly to the preferences stored in the 'prefs.js', some entries according to your chosen type of computer and connection, and some other entries for the 'Performance tweaks common to all configurations' if you also choose this option.

if you know what you're doing, and know a bit on customizing the Firefox you should be able to do all the tweaks that offered by the program easily, either via the about:config , or create a personal prefs file--user.js and enter all the prefs into this file.

all changes made through about:config are written to the prefs.js file.
prefs set to non-default values in user.js are also written to prefs.js.
