Tips and tricks
Add additional dictionaries and/or language packages
Have a look at Mozilla's Dictionaries & Language Packs website.
The Quick Locale Switcher add-on is a nice tool to switch between different installed dictionaries and language packs.
Get less SSL/TLS warnings: import the CAcert.org root certificates
Many websites (especially Open Source related ones) are using CAcert.org signed certificates. If you don't want to get warned if such a certificate is used, import the CAcert root certificate:
- Visit the CAcert.org Root Certificate website
- Click on “Class 1 PKI Key→Root Certificate (PEM Format)”
- Tell Firefox that you trust this authority to identify websites
- Click on “Class 3 PKI Key→Root Certificate (PEM Format)”
- Tell Firefox that you trust this authority to identify websites

Use multiple profiles to keep Firefox fast / prevent slowdown
See “Keep your Firefox fast and slim: use different profiles for different tasks” for some hints.
