Switch off fraud protection (Phishing filter) in browser(Firefox)

              You want to speed up Firefox. For this, you can switch off the automatic fraud protection of the browser.

              In order to gain more efficiency from the browser, you can close the phishing protection of Firefox. Because if you have a complete security suite like Norton or Kaspersky installed in your system, than that is already protecting you against phishing. So having Firefox’s phishing filter activated will not be of mush consequence. For turning off the phishing filter of Firefox, go to “Tools | Options”. Here click on the security option and here deactivate the options “Block reported attack sites” as well as “Block reported web forgeries”.

Easily access configuration settings from the menu(Thunderbird, Firefox)

              You regularly perform special configuration settings for Thunderbird. For this, you have to search at first how you can get back to the entries of “about:config”.

               Install the free extension ‘ViewAbout’ and quickly get the desired settings of the extended configurations. Go to “Extras | Add-ons” in Thunderbird and click “Install”. Then navigate to the new XPI file and “Open” these. You get the required permission by clicking “Install now”. Finally, you must “Restart Thunderbird”. In future, you will see a new entry “ViewAbout” in the menu “View”. You now have direct access to all the available “About” pages in its sub-menu. You will be surprised to know how many additional options are hidden there. However, not all of them function in Thunderbird.
Note: The extension ViewAbout can also be installed in Firefox. Although the call up “about:config” is simpler here, it functions still faster via this menu and moreover, you can see which other “about” pages are still available.
