Configuration Mania reveals hidden Firefox settings

Firefox has a ton of customization options. So many, in fact, that listing them all would make the Firefox Tools menu resemble War and Peace. So Mozilla hides some of the options you might not need to change as often away so that you can only access them by typing "about:config" into the location bar. The problem is that many users don't even know about about:config, and once you discover it, it's still not clear what all of the settings do.

Configuration Mania is a Firefox add-on that organizes and displays many of the options that are normally only available through about:config. Here are just a few o the things you can change using Configuration Mania:

• Location bar auto-complete behavior
• Default domain guessing behavior (should Firefox add www or .com when you type a word into the location bar?)
• Tab behavior (where to display the close button, default tab width, etc)
  
• Hide the Go button next to location bar
• Change your user agent
• Adjust cache settings

Configuration Mania is available for Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 beta.
