Waterfox Essentials: Waterfox advanced customization and configuration options

Waterfox supports a wide range of customization options that are well-suited to all skill levels. The toolbar layout can be customized, numerous settings can be configured, and the Waterfox Add-ons directory contains a massive library of extensions and themes to add additional functionality and make Waterfox reflect your own needs and personality.

Two additional forms of advanced configuration allow even further customization: about:config and userChrome.css modifications. However, Waterfox highly recommends that only the developers consider these customizations, as they could cause unexpected behavior or even break Waterfox.

Waterfox is a work in progress and, to allow for continuous innovation, Waterfox cannot guarantee that future updates won’t impact these customizations. For this reason, Waterfox does not officially support setting custom style rules with a userChrome.css file or using the about:config configuration editor to change preference settings.

If Waterfox suddenly appears broken after an update, you may need to use the Refresh feature to restore Waterfox to a default state while keeping important data. Alternatively, you can selectively reverse your advanced customization and configuration changes, as follows:

  • To reverse changes you made to Waterfox with a userChrome.css file, use about:config to reset the preference toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to false and then remove (or rename) the userChrome.css file located inside the chrome folder in your Waterfox profile folder.
  • To reset all preference modifications, either use about:config to reset all modified preferences or else delete the preference file(s) in your profile folder, as explained here, to restore all preferences to default settings.

Windows 7 Keyboard Shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that, when pressed, can be used to perform a task that would typically require a mouse or other pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer, saving you time and effort as you work with Windows and other programs.  Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands.
