Advanced Options

The advanced panel contains many options that are
less likely to be used by most people, but still useful and sometimes
critical options for some people.
Accessibility
Move system caret with focus/selection changes
Specifies whether to move the system caret whenever the
focus or selection changes. Some accessibility aids, such as screen
readers or screen magnifiers, use the system caret to determine
which area of the screen to read or magnify.
Use Find As You Type
Find As You Type is a very useful feature in Firefox. It
is a fast way of finding links or text in a Web page without the
need of displaying complex search dialogs.
By default, Find As You Type only searches text withing Web links.
Uncheck this option to make Find As You Type search plain text as
well.
Browsing
Hide the tab bar when only one website is
open
If you're only viewing one Web page in a browser window,
the tab bar is not shown. Uncheck this option to show the tab bar
all the time.
Open links in the background
When you middle-click on Web links (or hold down Ctrl while
clicking with the left mouse button), the links will be opened in
a new tab. That tab will not be shown directly; it will be loaded
in a background tab. Uncheck this option to load the link in a foreground
tab instead, which will show that tab directly.
Use autoscrolling
Autoscrolling is a useful feature which allows you to scroll
the page by just holding down the middle mouse button (usually the
scroll wheel) and move the mouse up or down. Some people find this
annoying so here's the option for it.
Use smooth scrolling
Smooth scrolling is still somewhat experimental in Firefox,
but it can be very useful if you read a lot of long pages. Normally,
when you press the Page Down key, the view jumps directly down one
page. With Smooth Scrolling, it slides down more smoothly, so you
are actually able to see how much it scrolls. This makes it easier
to resume reading from the point you were before.
Multimedia
Resize large images to fit in the browser
window
This feature is similar to the one seen in Internet Explorer.
It makes images that are larger than can be fit on the screen shrink
automatically so you can view the whole picture. Click on the image
to view its full size.
Security
Use SSL 2.0
Specifies whether you want to send and receive secured
information through SSL2 (Secured Sockets Layer Level 2), the standard
protocol for secure transmissions. All secure Web sites support
this protocol.
Use SSL 3.0
Specifies whether you want to send and receive secured
information through SSL3 (Secured Sockets Layer Level 3), a protocol
that is intended to be more secure than SSL2. Note that some Web
sites might not support this protocol.
Use TLS 1.0
Specifies whether you want to send and receive secured
information through TLS (Transport Layer Security), an open security
standard similar to SSL3 (Secure Sockets Layer). Note that some
Web sites might not support this protocol.
