The biggest performance impacts from Firebug should have been fixed in 1.9, thanks to some major architectural changes. I know it at least fixed Firebug's memory leaks when it's not activated.

I'm looking for an extension that will automatically delete all cookies upon quitting Firefox, except cookies for my bookmarks. A bonus if it also deletes the youtube/google/flash crud. Don't want to manually white list all my bookmarks. IE has something similar (protect favourites) and Safari has an absolutely excellent extension called Safari Cookies - http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31018/safari-cookies I'm really looking for a Safari Cookies replacement for Firefox. I've tried a large number of cookies extensions, but none seem to offer this functionality. Any suggestions?

PraxxisParadoX posted:Have you tried running a separate development profile in a separate Firefox instance? It at least isolates Firebug. Even better, use a portable Firefox and run that one as completely vanilla + Firebug. Minimises the chance that any other addon, custom config option, or whatever is causing trouble.

Ended up going for "Cookie Whitelist, with buttons". CCleaner is good, but it doesn't automatically do its thing from within Firefox itself. Cookie Whitelist is a manual whitelist extension, but it does the job - saves whitelisted cookies, deletes everything else on exit. There isn't a Firefox extension anywhere near as good as Safari Cookies, it seems.

The Snappy blog has a post today detailing some of the recent changes in Firefox 15 that improve responsiveness. It looks like, barring backouts, this will be one of the most important releases since Firefox 7.

I've been using Aurora for a good while - version 14, the current version (until later this week, anyway), is pretty nice regarding UI responsiveness. With a few minor about :config tweaks, Firefox runs pretty nice these days. If you're like me and like to restore the tabs from previous sessions, try adding the following as an integer value and set it to 0 - browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs Basically, when you restore a session, it only loads one previously-used tab - the rest are in the background but they only use the cached page title. They load when you click on them individually.

Ok, how do I disable this new "new tab shows most visited pages" thing? If I wanted that I'd use Chrome, when I open a new tab I want it BLANK.

Don't have a specific answer to your problem, but maybe it would be better to use private browsing when doing sensitive stuff to remove any traces? That's what I do.

Well yes that would be a good solution to the problem of porn, but I am not sure I can train my Dad to enter private browsing when he visits legitimate banking websites. Also, will a banking website work with private browsing? I am just guessing here that in private might interfere with cookies needed for logging in?

You might be able to hide certain sites from popping up in the new tab page, but if he's really worried about his personal info being visible to people who he's letting use his PC, then wouldn't their ability to press Ctrl-H and bring up his entire browsing history be a bigger problem?

And it does not take care of the whole domain, like right now I have somethingawful.com, somethingawful.com/SHSC, somethingawful.com/AI, etc. The Dark One - the concern is more regarding accidental discovery.
