Firefox fixes and addons
It's 2024, and I'm switching to Firefox because Chrome is breaking adblock.
Recommended addons
- uBlock Origin: The good ad blocker.
- Gesturefy: Good gestures, including rocker+wheel gestures. Built-in interface good enough to set up your preferred gestures in a minute.
- New Tab Override: To make new tabs load my custom launchsite; also tweak tab order.
- Image Search Options: Get all the reverse image search options.
- FoxyProxy: Proxy switcher (for use with
ssh -D 1080
). - TamperMonkey: Use custom scripts to augment existing websites.
Middle click opening new tabs in foreground instead of background?
Not sure what causes this, but here's the fix: in Options, find and disable "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
Get auto-scroll working
On Firefox for Linux, by default, middle click auto-scroll is disabled. I spent a long time looking for an extension to fix this, but it's just a simple option.
- In
about:config
, setgeneral.autoScroll
to true
