Use this topic to post any helpful/interesting undocumented/hard to find out about (buried in forums and such) preferences so that a dev can easily update the preferences wiki page with a bunch of settings.

kmeleon.display.toolbars_line False=Hides the lines between toolbars.
kmeleon.display.lockedToolbarAlt True=Alternate spacing when toolbars are locked.

I have added them to my user.js file like this:

user_pref("kmeleon.display.toolbars_line", false);
user_pref("kmeleon.display.lockedToolbarAlt", true);

They work, and I don't see the borders. But I've tried both and I cant find the difference between them, they seem to do the same.

No the second has nothing to do with lines.
It just makes that when *locking* toolbars, the buttons stay exactly where they are, meaning there'll be a little empty space on the left side of each toolbars, where that drag-handle was. Without that setting, this little empty space will be on the right side of toolbars, all buttons moving a tiny little bit to the left ;-) At least that is what I noticed when testing it awhile ago

Hi,

to minimize those spaces in favor of the URL, Tabs, or Bookmarks bars, you can set their sizes to enormous values:

user_pref("kmeleon.toolband.Tabs.size", 3000);
user_pref("kmeleon.toolband.Bookmarks.size", 3000);
user_pref("kmeleon.toolband.URL Bar.size", 3000);

... haven't tried what happens if two of those sit on the same level, though ...

EDIT: whatever the above mentioned

Quote

user_pref("kmeleon.display.lockedToolbarAlt", false);

does, it does NOT minimze the spaces - it even disables my "3000" tweak.

About bug # 1046: Bottom tab bar not hidden in fullscreen mode
Dorian said:
"Forgot to say that for bug 1046 I've added:
kmeleon.plugins.fullscreen.hide_tabsbar
which is only relevant for fixed and bottom tabs bar."

Another a lot of used are:

dom.max_script_run_time <integer> => Timeout in seconds to prompt for stop a running Javascript.

browser.chrome.favicons <boolean> => Search favicon file in web domain to show the favicon if it isn't declarated in web page code.

i was looking around for usefull settings and came across these.
these might improve browser performance. i changed pipelining and max connections and initialpaint - made a huge difference for me.

user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 200);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 100);
user_pref("network.cookie.lifetime.days", 5);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 60);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 15);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

discussions about speed settings w/ explanations and more options...

well i guess i screwed up the links anyway
here is where i got those

and if anyone is interested, forum search for pipelining - you'll get a lot of info.
