Firefox is safety-oriented. It has plenty of features, which should prevent you from unintentional crashing your browser or system or revealing your private data. They all make sense. However, they can get irritating if you know what you’re doing. If you’re fed up with confirming your choices every 5 minutes, have a look at the possibilities of disabling unnecessary protection mechanisms.

1. Skip The Installation Delay For Firefox Addons

When you attempt to install Firefox extension, you have to wait for 3 seconds. This protection is for a reason. Even though, if you install a lot of extensions and, being aware of the danger, want to disable the communicate like that:

there is of course a way to do it:

1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar and hit enter.
2. Paste security.dialog_enable_delay into the filter box.
3. Double click on that preference and change the value to 0

When you try to install addons now, there will be no delay.

2. Disable Warning Messages

That’s a part of basic Firefox configuration, but just in case you haven’t changed these options yet, go to Tools › Options › Security › Warning messages › Settings
In the dialog you can turn off multiple communicates which Firefox uses to make you aware of the low encryption of visited websites.

I turned off all of them, but consider what you’re doing carefully, as for a little time you’re going to earn you sacrifice a pretty useful security feature.

3. Make Firefox Always Remember Passwords

• Download Always Remember Password extension
• Extension’s homepage

This extension Instructs web sites to always remember your password. Some sites like Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and banking sites instruct the browser to never allow your password manager to retain your information. If you use a shared workspace, then this is probably not desirable. If you are the sole user, then it’s quite handy.
If you want the functionality without the constant presence as an extension, you can use a bookmarklet written by Jesse Ruderman.

4. Add Button To Automatically Run Downloaded Files

• Download OpenDownload extension

In Firefox you cannot choose to run the executable files. You need to download them first and then launch from the Download Manager or directly from your system.

OpenDownload adds a nice button, which probably all former Internet Explorer users are accustomed to, which enables you to run file without having to press the launch button.

The extension downloads the file to your temp directory and then launches it. Your operating system will choose the default application to run it with. After 24 hours the file will automatically be deleted from your system.
