Adjust Number Of Suggestions & Scrolling Tabs

In this week we posted some tweaks about Firefox that included an insight to Firefox’s tabs, how to back up registry and order bookmarks in Firefox, plus we also showed you how to disable time delay when installing a new add-on onto your system.

Today we bring two new trick that will surely help you in browsing and will also ease your way further. First up is how to adjust the number of suggestions that Firefox displays when ever you type in a keyword in the address bar. After that we will show you how to adjust the number of tabs on each Firefox window.

I hate to say this again and again, but if you don’t think you are confident enough then please make sure you make a copy of the registry before you move on.

Adjust the Number of Suggestions

Open Firefox, in the address bar type: about:config press Enter. In the Filter box, enter the following:  browser.urlbar.maxRichResults

By default you will see a value of ’12′. Adjust this value accordingly. Restart Firefox and you will see the changes.

Adjust Scrolling Tabs

Some times when you are searching something you have to open more than one or two tabs in Firefox. Firefox will keep on shrinking the size of the tabs each time you open a new one, but once that limit is reached you will see a scrolling bar enabling you to move between tabs. On your screen each tab by default will have a size of 100 px, but that can be adjusted as well.

If you don’t any scroll bar and want to see all the tab on your screen at a given time, you will need to set this value to ‘0‘ (Zero). Here is how you do this.

Type inside the Filter box: browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and set the value to ‘0‘ or if you don’t want this you can adjust the size of each tab by lowering the value, thus giving more room for each tab to appear on your current screen.
