There are hundreds of tricks for Firefox that you can apply to tweak, optimize, change UI and mostly to increase browsing speed. But while browsing I landed on a webpage where I found these cool and probably unknown tricks that are somehow useful as well.
To apply and check these tricks you have to open a new window and copy-paste the code in address bar of your Firefox browser.

It makes the Firefox window auto collapse and expand in the corner of your monitor screen.

This opens another Firefox inside a tab in the the existing Firefox window.
3. Options inside a Tab
