Firefoxs hidden config area
Published November 21st, 2006 in All Categories, Firefox, Tips and Tweaks
Quite a few people know about the about:config page of Firefox, but there are more options than 
that under the hood of everyone’s favourite browser.
To peruse the contents of the cache, you can enter about:cache into the address bar, hit and look through. This has the advantages of being able to look at content stored locally, great if the connection breaks, or if the material on the site gets taken down / removed.
The best way to use this feature is using CTRL+F, then enter what you are looking for, to search pictures, use .jpg or .gif. The list is endless.
The other useful about: prompts include about:about to tell you what version of Firefox you have, about:plugins to show all extensions currently installed, and about:license. This list here gives you them all. JiggedyJoo » Firefox’s hidden config area
