  Can I change these entries in about: config?

  A reference to instructions would be greatly appreciated.

  You can reset prefs which are remains after you uninstall extensions.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

  Is there is a lot, then you can edit the prefs.js file in the Firefox profile folder and delete those lines.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  Close Firefox before editing the prefs.js file.

  Note that Windows hides certain default file extensions.
  Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
  You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.

• Restore the menu of sites frequently used on the new tab screen but about: config has too many entries

  I went to about: config and browser.newtab.url and it is on: newtab but there are several lines of text changed under them and I'm afraid to change.

• While browsing through about: config (NOTHING has changed!), I noticed an entry: "network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS" - should I worry? Sounds bad to me...

  Clear - I never edited a topic: config entries before, without following instructions explicit to do, by a reliable source (i.e. help Firefox). Out of curiosity, I love to browse entries from time to time and seem to have developed a "sixth sense" to detect things that don't seem right. My "instinct" is rarely wrong! The entry in question: "network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS" seems like something bad for me, of course I have never seen this. I've been hacked? (I just upgraded to FF, I put it to update automatically) This means compromise https pages I visit?

  Hello, default network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS must be set to false.

• Cannot be deactivated domain guessing version 37.0.2 to go to about.config

  Online suggestions have not helped, including going in Preferences > browser, because the browser is not in my version. What I need it to must stop geolocation requiring an entry "about.config" in the URL, but adds field bar ALWAYS guess www. for her, so I get error 'server not found '. Mac OS x 10.6.8. Thanks for your help.

  It is not about.config by a point, but Subject: config with a colon.
  topic: is a protocol such as http: and is used to access the built-in special pages
  You can open on: pages through the address bar.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

  I guess you are looking for this pref:

  • Geo.Enabled = false

  Note that Firefox will always ask for permission before using the geolocation.

  If geolocation is not used Web sites can do a reverse DNS glance upward from your IP address and is generally not very accurate.

• Can I safely remove all references to the CHROME of about: config?

  I was told that once I installed and used CHROME, it took longer for the most part, the operation of any other browser. I removed CHROME better I could, for reasons of confidentiality, but I noticed in FIREFOX about: config many references to CHROME. I want to delete them. What is recommended or safe? Or would I be better to uninstall FIREFOX and download a new copy of it? ... and if so, how can I save my favorites, etc. ??
  Best regards

  Hello Bill, none of the entries in firefox/a words of: config that contain the term 'chrome' is related to the browser google chrome.

  chrome is a general term used to refer to the user interface of the browser (in contrast to the content - which is usually the information provided by Web sites). This reference is present in firefox long before the competing product with the same name came on the market.

• Impossible to change my new tab page - it appears as "Quick start" and I can't change it BLAH about: config page

  When I enter on: config page and try to change the new settings of the about tab: empty it changes them, but when I opened a new tab it opens this "quick start" and it shows windows with a few sites I visit, but there is no option in which I choose if this is or a blank page.

  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.

  Success?

  So I would like to know if some geek bozo can turn off my master password in all: config.

  You can do this only through the the "Options > Security" and you must enter the current Member.
  If you would reset the MP, then all the passwords saved would be lost.

• How to edit about: config to set by default on the desktop

  I use the Sony Xperia Z and Firefox for Android tablet. On a screen 10 "I'd rather see the desktop version of websites (always hated the web version, even on a small phone screen). I set the preference on the desktop by checking the box in the menu > Office of the application. But firefox always unticks this box every time the page is refreshed, a new page opens, opens a new tab or a new session begins. When shopping on eBay, for example, I check the box, connect on the desktop page, are sent to the mobile version, click on the box, refresh, back to the mobile version, manually enter the url for ebay desktop, get the mobile version. This happens on all websites. I might ask to office but I have mobile site each time. Makes me crazy! I need to set default values by typing about: config. Can someone tell me what the Protocol allows to set the default value AND ensure that it is recalled whenever I use firefox.

  As a matter of general interest, someone knows what is the cause? Whatever it is, it does not to my other customizations. For example, I deleted all the provided search engines and don't use StartPage and DuckDuckGo. And I added the ghostery and bluhell modules that work very well also. Thanks for your help.

  Use the default extension Office. https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Android/addon/desktop-by-default/?src=SS
