Prevent URLs from being saved in Location Bar

Firefox allows you to prevent URLs from being saved in the pull-down menu for the Location Bar. This restriction helps protect user privacy and prevent users from "stumbling" into sites that other users had previously viewed.

Change language on web pages

Some web sites offer content in multiple languages. You can choose several languages in Firefox and they will be treated in order of priority. In order to change the priority, just go to “Tools” then “Options.” Select the “General” section and click the “Languages” button.

Select and copy individual table cells

While holding down the CTRL key, you can select table cells. Just click on any non-link portion of the cell. You can select multiple cells (either by clicking individually on the cells you want to select or by just dragging with the mouse). Once selected, you can use Copy and Paste just like you would on a text selection.

Make some more screen space

Make your icons small. Go to “View” then “Toolbars” then “Customize” and check the "Use small icons" box.

How to not save your form information in Firefox

As you browse, Firefox keeps the history you enter in fields like search forms and other forms you fill out. If you want to stop this then go to the “Tools” menu and click “Options.” Click on the “Privacy” icon on the left. Go to the “Saved Form Information” and deselect the box that says "Save information I enter in web page forms and the Search bar."
