Configuration Mania - Configuring Hidden Settings in Firefox

(For full text with comments please click on the title)

There is that nice extension called Preferential. Now if editing and configurithat still seemed too complicated with that extension, then you need something that breaks it down even further. How about something that puts the settings in an easy-to-understand interface similar to the existing configuration screen for the Options? Let’s now turn our attention to Configuration Mania!

This extension is cool because it puts a ton of settings together in a way that makes them very easy to understand and manipulate. Before now, almost all of these settings had to be configured through the about:config screen, but now they will almost seem as if they were naturally integrated in Firefox.

Just like the Preferential extension, Configuration Mania has its options located in the Tools menu. This one also has collapsible menus, but it organizes the settings a little nicer. Oh, and don’t be deceived by the small appearance because there are a lot of settings there for you to tinker with. Here is a screenshot of what all the browser settings look like when they’re expanded:

And that is only the settings from one of the 5 tabs! As you can see there are a lot of different things available for you to configure and play with, but it will take some time to go through all of the settings presented here.
