  Change the browser.newtab.url preference, or it is ignored?

  If it changes after you exit and then restart Firefox, look for a user.js file, as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  If it is ignored, are looking for an extension that is unwanted in the Add-ons page:

  CTRL + SHIFT + a button orange Firefox (or tools) > Add-ons

  On the left side, click Extensions, and then disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions.

  Typically, 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.

  Any improvement?

• A new thing "Firefox Search", how can I disable it?

  With my current settings, this ring appears 50 ms after you press 'Home' and makes my lag of Tablet for 1 to 3 seconds each time.

• Disable Firefox search and/or stroke shortened on Android

  I would like to disable the shortcut by scanning to access the search Firefox of the on screen navigation keys, or disable Firefox search entirely on v35.0 Android. There doesn't seem to be an option to turn it off in the settings, nor is it an application separate to disable entry. Is there a way to disable this shortcut or search entirely?

  I don't think it's possible to implement a setting to turn off this feature in firefox. It is reported to the android OS installation via a manifest file is an app that contains a searchactivity.
  I think it would be rather the work of the operating system to provide a means of management or the deactivation of this gesture of drag...

• How can I return 'Default' Firefox (topic: config) without losing all my modules and Persona settings?

  I changed a couple of parameter in previous versions, to speed things up. These parameters have been "inherited" from version 6.x which I think has more need.

  Is this possible?

  Creating a profile will return all of your default settings of Extension/add-ons, you will need to re - install the Extensions/additional custom modules in the new profile

  Most of the settings that you have probably set different values are in about: config, then filter = network.http (I watch 24 elements in Firefox 6, all with the 'status' = default)

  • Those that are displayed in the lower panel in fat and as a user set are items that have been modified by you and/or an extension/add-on.
  • You can right-click on these elements, in your case those typically shown as "whole" types and choose "Reset".
  • Those who re - appear after restart of Firefox are possibly be changed/added by an Extension; There were / are many extensions to change these settings
  • After "Reset", not with an empty value (there should be none in network.http unless you added), will be deleted when you restart Firefox. those are elements that are not the default set of preferences hidden in your version.
  • Make a list of what you change hidden preferences (topic: config) so that you can reverse these changes later if needed.
  • List of preferences network.http: _ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox: _FAQs_:_About:config_Entries #Network.
    • The list is not entirely current or complete, but is the best we have at this moment
    • Do not add new products to your preferences, unless you know what you're doing
    • Do not delete all the elements of your preferences, unless you know what you're doing

• How can I open a new tab and enter automatically in the address bar and not in the Firefox search engine?

  When I open a new tab I see Google search smooth with large beautiful Firefox logo on the top center of research, and makes me automatically type in this research. Is there a way to automatically enter address bar when a new tab is opened? Just moved to Firefox and it's quite annoying.
  Thanks to all the advice.

  Looks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
  2. To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
  3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
  4. In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.

  Otherwise,.

  1. Custom installation tab.
     • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
  2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
  4. The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.

• How do I set up Firefox (in all: config?) never mind with update notifications?

  Welp, which is says it all. Or most of it. I HATE the newer version without MENU of Firefox (and it does not help, by standing on my head and expulsion from the nails in wood in a particular direction, I actually find all the content in the old menus) and so I installed force version previous (28.0), but my problem is that I am always harassed with guests who push me to put upgraded to version 29,0. This is uncomfortable the HELL OF the WHO! I resent NOTHING NANNY-LIKE, which is in MY FACE!

  So I thought that I could get rid of this SCOURGE of the UPDATE - by setting some parameters of app.update and in fact, it seems to have worked on my Linux desktop only - but, alas, no, it's always there, always very well in MY FACE on my desktop dual-boot (openSUSE & Win7)!

  What, then, can I do to get rid of those updated guests? (Note that I'm hoping that at some point in a not too distant future, Mozilla will offer, for each new version, a WUS and one I'm variant of MAN, where the latter allows the user to direct the vehicle somehow... If it is never materialized, and then at some point (when I judge too unstable Firefox 28.0 use)) I will ditch Firefox for an alternative which retains a semblance of appearance of hobby-garage of the male (that oppose HIS slick, all hidden, kitchen look!).

  Thank you!

  I'm under openSUSE 13.1 in iwith dual-boot Windows 7, and it is only on the interface SUSE I'm having the problem (on Win7, earlier versions allow me to check a box "do not install anything, never" via preferences, rather than having to look for a solution to everything: config). Right now I use Firefox 28.0, having force lowered the footnote to the latest version.

  The link I gave you above not tweak Firefox but rather give you a short overview on what's new in Firefox 29.

  The link below will show you how to customize Firefox 29 to resemble previous versions of Firefox prior to 29.
