Firefox: Enabling pixel scrolling with touchpads.

There is a bug in Firefox on Ubuntu
that prevents precise scrolling when using a touchpad or a trackpoint.
One way to fix[1] this is to start Firefox with MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1 firefox, or put
MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1
in /etc/environment.
[1] In fact this may trigger other bugs when a notification appears while scrolling.

Enabling presentation mode via the command line

I recently added the following command to my ~/.profile
xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/presentation-mode -s false
It disables the xfce presentation mode on startup, because I frequently forget
that I enabled it.
The option -s true enables presentation mode, and -T toggles it.
One can alse bind this to a key shortcut.
