• I can't restore the pre-FF34, same subject through search bar: config does not help.

  Today, my search bar came to randomly search bar 'new' post-FF34. Despite repeatedly activating / deactivating the browser.search.showoneoffbuttons in all: config, then by restarting the browser to a dozen times, this topic stubbornly remains with the new search. Does anyone know how to do so that he can keep looking for old? Or download the about: config switches to work again?

  The underlying code for the browser.search.showOneOffbuttons has been removed since Firefox 43 - there is no way to return to the range of older research.

• How can I get rid of persistent Imgur prefs in topic: config?

  Over the past months, I have had the Imgur.com site host a few images (uploaded from my hard drive) for me so that I could put links to them in some messages I posted to usenet.

  Please note two things:
  1. I have never had the Imgur Uploader (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader/) extension installed, ever.
  2. I always clean my cookies when I quit Firefox.

  This morning, looking around: config, I noticed the following two preferences:

  devtools.gcli.imgurUploadURL (the value https://api.imgur.com/3/image)
  devtools.gcli.imgurClientID (the value to a unique identifier that I post here)

  WHAT. THE. DEVIL?

  I closed Firefox, waited a while and then opens the my profile folder prefs.js in a text editor. I then manually deleted the two parameters of this file and saved it. When I started Firefox upward and checked if the two parameters were right where they had been in all: config and with the original values. I went up to try twice, with the same result both times.

  Then, with Firefox running, I deleted the values of these two prefs in topic: config, then stop and restart Firefox. Values have remained deleted, but the prefs are always listed in everything: config. So I tried right click on preferences and selecting "Reset" on two of them. Only, which restores the values and does not delete the preferences.

  Does anyone know how these two prefs put in my file prefs.js in the first place and why they keep coming back?

  Mozilla has some sort of arrangement with this Web site or am I infected with some kind of malware that I picked up on the site Web of Imgur?

  It is possible for a Web site change my prefs.js file and store information in this location, then cookies are the least of my worries!

  After reading this bug:

  https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=992386

  I found this:

  https://groups.Google.com/Forum/?fromgroups#! Imgur/AJcTXtiOMPk/topic

  In the second link, Christian Heilmann described how two preferences are used in the devtools:
  _______________________________________________________________________
  The story is this: Firefox development tools have a great feature when you press SHIFT + F2 you get a command line to do all sorts of things with the browser. One of them is 'screenshot', which takes a screenshot of the page. "screenshot - fullpage" scroll the entire page for you and takes a picture of him. Now I was proposing to offer a flag - imgur to automatically download the screenshot on imgur using the API but with 400 million users, we will hit the limits quickly enough.
  _______________________________________________________________________

  So if you have a page to scroll through to display everything, you can use this tool to make an image of it without having to take screenshots of portions and then photomerge all together. Then a developer can store the image on Imgur and have a link to the image is displayed with other developers.

  Now I understand what is happening and I think I'll just let the prefs only. OTOH, since I'm not a developer, removing their values have no effect on anything.

  Please consider this topic resolved and thanks anyway.

  New tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement)
  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

  With Firefox 41 (and later versions), it is no longer possible to customize the
  page displayed in a new tab by the evolution of the browser.newtab.url preference
  in the about.config. Due to the fact that the hijackers abused the
  preference in the past, Mozilla has decided to remove (see bug 1118285).
  Fortunately, by removing it, Mozilla has also introduced a new API to bring
  This feature to life as an add-on. This module allows the user

• changes to browser.newtab.url about: config no longer work

  I tried the user - set the page to a new tab in everything: changing browser.newtab.url config

  I followed the suggestion of extensions to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1081409, but I have no extensions enabled. None of the other suggestions were relevant.

  41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
  • If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

  Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

  Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

  After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  New tab Override

  Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

  Custom new tab

  It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

• When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried to change that in all: config; Browser.newtab.URL, but it will not

I put in the site I want and it won't change. I tried to put in: blank and it don't work. I'm obviously something wrong - can you help please?

  Thank you

  If Firefox is ignorant preference browser.newtab.url, the usual culprit is an extension.

  You can open the page in Firefox Add-ons using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

• How to remove all occurrences of Yahoo from my "subject: config ' file?"

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Somehow, I hijacked by Yahoo yesterday and ends as my default search provider. And, after that, the small magnifying glass where search engines are listed have disappeared. Firefox doesn't have to feel very safe!

  I restored the search "magnifying glass" through "Customize", but I don't want any more 'surprises' Yahoo

  The next four lines are copied from my "subject: config ' file." Are they necessary?

  browser.search.order.US.1;data:text/plain,browser.search.order.US.1=Yahoo
  Browser.Search.Order.2; Yahoo
  browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri; https://Add.my.Yahoo.com/RSS?URL=%s
  browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title; My Yahoo!

  In addition, these two:

  gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.uriTemplate; https://compose.mail.Yahoo.com/?to=%s
  gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name; Yahoo! Mail

  browser.search.order.US.1;data:text/plain,browser.search.order.US.1=Yahoo > default search engine. This line is necessary, but you can define a different value to replace Yahoo, Google or Bing for example

  Browser.Search.Order.2; Yahoo > if you use the American version of Firefox, this line is not used

  browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title; My Yahoo! > corresponding to the 1st app/site used when you subscribe to a feed

  gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.uriTemplate; https://compose.mail.Yahoo.com/?to=%s and gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name; Yahoo! Mail > these lines define the 1st element in the list that appears when you open a link mailto: Protocol (i.e. an email address)

  To conclude, except the 1st line, Yahoo does not work on your computer, unless you specifically choose to use when a context menu is displayed.
