2 lessser known firefox features



I assume that you all know what firefox is(u have to be highly ignorant for contrary!).
We all know that firefox and browsers in general are feature rich.Most of the useful ones are by default activated but I don't know why some aren't! I am writing about 2 of them in this post.

The first one is 'Search  as you type'
 For finding some text in browsers, we need to first press Ctrl+F and then type the text.
  Firefox has an inbuilt but by default deactivated feature to search without having to type Ctrl+F. Useful isn't it?
  You can activate it from:
 Tools → Options → Advanced → General → Search for text when I start typing
Here is the link for the Mozilla page on it


The other one is 'smooth Scrolling'
This feature might not produce a quite significant difference to the usefulness of firefox but gives an aesthetic feeling while using it.
As it's name suggests it will smooth the scrolling process to make it feel better. Though not productive it is worth a try and hence should be made a default setting
To turn it on try these steps:
Tools → Options → Advanced → General → 'Use Smooth Scrolling'
Hope you will like using the features.Will join you with more features soon.
