(setq
 backup-by-copying t
 backup-directory-alist `(("." . "~/.emacs_saves"))
 delete-old-versions t
 kept-new-versions 6
 kept-old-versions 2

My Firefox tunning

There are a few Firefox option I like, unfortunately sometimes is hard to find what are the knobs to touch to get it set as I like it. Here are the settings that I prefer:

Make search open in new tab:

browser.search.openintab with value true

Keep window when closing last tab:

browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab with value false

Single close button for all tabs:

browser.tabs.closebuttons with value 3 (0- Active tab only, 1 - all tabs, 2 - no close buttons, 3- single at the end of the tab bar)

Ask before quitting:

browser.showQuitWarning with value true

Hide default "Inspect Element" when Firebug is installed:

extensions.firebug.hideDefaultInspector set to true. (The option devtools.inspector.enabled does the same thing)
