For a few links on how to tune-up your Firefox browser, check my
post on Tweaking Firefox.
To activate H.264 support on the browser (no codec done, decoding performed by the guest OS, right now Win7+), activate "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled"..
And if you, prefer FireBug to the default FFox inspector, you can disable it goig to "about:config" and setting to false the following two keys:
- devtools.inspector.enabled
- devtools.styleinspector.enabled
