hey guys this is Austin and today news the video showing you hidden features in Firefox so of course Firefox has been around for a while and the bay had lots of little you know Easter eggs and whatnot so let's go ahead just take a look at some of them so the first thing that you need to do is you need to go to your address bar and type in about colon about and indeed that link will change depending on which page I show but this one is just a list of all the different pages that you have for Firefox so there are a bunch of them so I will show you guys some of my favorites but there are also some kind of cool Easter eggs so for example is about Mozilla there's about robots just kind of tell you a little bit about robots which is pretty neat but you guys can definitely take a look at this I was just going to show you guys some of the more interesting ones so the first one is going to be about config now if you guys have been using Firefox for any length of time more than likely you've pulled this up this is able to customize Firefox to a ridiculous level and I want to be very clear though this is not something that you can just go in here and just you know start editing and you know messing around with it you can definitely really crash Firefox however if you know what you're doing if you know you looked up a specific tweak what not generally you're going to use it in about config so you guys can see here there are just tons and tons of different things but let's say for example I need to come over here I could edit it you know maybe you can change the times that something takes to load there's a bunch of bunch of bunch of different things that you can do so about config is probably one of the best ways to customize the browser to how you like and there's a great things about crashes now what this is is obviously I don't have any crash reports Firefox's you know it doesn't crash all that often but if you've had any crash reports or you know have any major issues it will list all the different crash reports you can't get a little information on it it's very helpful if you you know you're having a problem you can kind of help diagnose it and the other thing is going to be permissions manager so what this allows you to do is take a look at your permissions for individual websites or indeed all sites so it says if you want to allow passwords to be stored so you know if you want your login information you can share your location cookies pop up windows and offline storage so let's say for example I want to always allow pop-up windows on a particular site I can do that here or indeed you can just do it globally with all sites so another really little helpful thing if you use Firefox now another thing is about memory now this is similar to what you'll be able to find Oh Chrome it's not quite as pretty but what you can see here is what's taking up all your RAM so if you're having some issues with Firefox it's you know being slow laggy what-have-you you can take a look and see what's going on here so let's just take for example I found some one of these things that showed you know it had like 4 gigabytes of RAM used it's just something ridiculous we can kind of get a good idea of what's going on and perhaps if you can you know understand like some of these are kind of little hard but you know see we can see staged jailbreak com2 open up in one of the tabs you want to see that we can close it and see if that helps anything so just a little good idea of seeing how much RAM Firefox is using and last but not least we have about plugins now this is basically very simple as the name implies it allows you to take a look at any plugins that are installed and used by Firefox so we can see you know on live game client flash Silverlight Java QuickTime and what this allows you to do is take a look at the version what kind of files are here now there's not a whole lot you can do with it it's just kind of nice to be able to see what plugins are enabled for example if you ever see something that you don't want so sometimes it's kind of rare but it's happened to me before if you have some kind of program that actually installed a plug-in that you don't want and it's happened a couple of times you can actually look here and see if there's anything that you don't like or don't want or whatever and see what exactly what is running in Firefox anyway that's gonna be about it if you guys want to see a video going over hidden features in Google Chrome feel free to hit the annotation on screen right now but otherwise if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you want to be notified whenever I post a new video be sure to subscribe
