‘Twas Brillig*

I use a lot of tabs in Firefox (33 at the last count) and by default Firefox makes me have scrolling tabs. I tend to navigate via the tab icons rather than title so tabs really don’t need to be very wide. I’ve found that changing the property browser.tabs.tabMinWidth in about:config to 32 seems to do the trick of making the tabs just wide enough for me to see the “favicon”s and the close icon for all my tabs. It is a pity that several sites (including some on work’s intranet) don’t set the icon.

Lifehacker has linked to a list of 20 Things the average person doesn’t know about XP. A good deal I knew about and some appears to be out of date (for anyone sensible enough to have moved to SP2), but I didn’t know about enabling ClearType (item 9) and now I’ve done it text on my twin HP LP2065 (1600×1200) work displays looks brilliant. Definitely an option to remember.

To stop me searching in the future, Artezio (Moscow) are located here.
