What are some tweaks to do in about:config in firefox android to improve performance and features?
I just wanted to know about tweaks in the about:config for Firefox android. Like for eg: changing download location, offline browsing, etc.

For changing download location, see my reply to this question: Change download location.
I don't know about offline browsing. What do you mean that?
You might search around on other Android sites for tweaks if you don't find what you're looking for here.
Any more tweaks can be done in about:config ???
Probably dozens of things, but my mind doesn't work like that.
Please tell some changes which you have done in about:config
