What happened to mozilla.cfg?

The last SMS package that I created for Firefox was 6.0.2, so my apologies if this is old news. What I understand replaced user.js mozilla.cfg? What lockpref, is an equivalence? I'm also a bit puzzled as to how we're supposed to use "browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone" or "browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser" in user.js when the location there assume that it does not exist until the application is run. Am I missing something?

See also:

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock the prefs or specify default values.

Place a local file - settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you will also find the channel - prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg file.

pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift

You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:

defaultPref();  // set new default value
pref();         // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref();     // lock pref, disallow changes

  • I use the excellent Firefox 5.o. What happened to the feature "bookmark all tabs" which is located under the bookmarks? I love Mozilla Firefox! :-)

    I looked under bookmarks position as well as history. What happened to the "bookmark all tabs" extremely useful. Loved this feature of Firefox. Thank you!!!

    Click right on a tab to see this menu item or use {Ctrl + Shift + D}.

    In collaboration with the new button of Firefox in Firefox 4.0 and with the addition of some new features that adds a number of new items to the menu, many of the menu items older have been moved or appear only in certain conditions. It can be a bit confusing until you get used to the changes, but beyond the addition of new menu items for the new features in the future, I don't think that there will be major changes like this for awhile.

  • Custom Mozilla.cfg of the file no longer works after upgrade to v38.01

    I created a custom mozilla.cfg file which contains three main sections.
    First section locks several preferences.
    The second section modifies the chrome - cache the Orange button and add the menu bar.
    Section three adds a folder of bookmarks and links specific to our Organization.

    I also modified the local file - settings.js so that it points to my cfg file:
    Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    Pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0); This allows to deactivate the byte-shift

    After the v38.01, Firefox opens. He appears briefly in the Task Manager and goes. I started some tests and found that, if I comment out the line "pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 0);" in the local file - settings.js, FF opens but none of the settings I've specified are applied.
    I'm stuck because I have no idea what could be the problem. The allowed syntax has changed? The structure of the files has changed?
    I can post the cfg file if necessary.

    Thank you.

    Yes. This feature has disappeared.

    I can't scroll through sites that I connect. something happened in Firefox Mozilla. He used to work when I am connected to a Web page, but not now. all I can do is to manipulate the page through links on the page. No sidebar to scroll or the other. It works fine in Explorer, so I know it's a problem with Firefox, also can scroll etc on pages like MSN, Yahoo, etc., but does not not using Firefox, when I connect to one Web site other than the one which is also a search engine, what happened? can you help me?

    You get a pop-up window or dialog style without menu or the toolbar either? In this case:

    38 of Firefox has a little problem with this combination of circumstances:

    (1) turned off tabbed browsing
    (2) viewing a page in a private window
    (3) you click on a link encoded with target = "_blank", which launches the link in a new window

    The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.

    Work on this bug is in progress, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the coming weeks. These are the known workarounds so you can continue using windows browsing private - one of them will work around the bug:

    (1) use tabbed browsing (there is a checkbox in Options > general > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");

    (2) shift + click the links to open in a new window with standard features. or

    (3) change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below - it will not you make changes to the way you use Firefox, but sometimes you need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that have been sized for a window with no toolbar displayed.

    # 3, here are the steps:

    (A) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (B) in the search above the list box, type or paste feat and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (C) for each preference that begins with dom.disable_window_open_feature. , if it is not 'true', double-click it to true.

    You may find that you prefer this anyway, given that sites can band is more these pop-up windows features.

    Add code to the file userChrome.css below default @namespace.

    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
    
    /* move "Show All Bookmarks" to the top of the Bookmarks drop-down list */
    #BMB_bookmarksPopup #BMB_bookmarksShowAll {-moz-box-ordinal-group:0}
    
    /* move "Show All History" to the top of the History drop-down list */
    #PanelUI-history > * {-moz-box-ordinal-group:3!important}
    #PanelUI-history > label.panel-subview-header {-moz-box-ordinal-group:1!important}
    #PanelUI-history > #PanelUI-historyMore {-moz-box-ordinal-group:2!important}
    

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in this folder (the names are case-sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file

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

    Thanks for your reply. I also did some other research and found the add-on following which deals with this problem more directly:

  • How to mozilla.cfg, override.ini, all - companyname.js, work once and for all for all users files

    I'm trying to apply a patch for the browser firefox (version 23.0.1) on more than 250 computers. Setting default Web pages, disable the annoying guests as the default browser and import bookmarks and deleting history on shutdown or startup. It is very easily done editing the pref.js file, but I will not change this file, it is out of the question. Another update of FF will erase or overwrite all my changes.

    I run a computer lab at the University which is locked with a Net Support School console. You don't need to find out who. Virtually all Web sites are limited except those ones I list white. The Web sites we use have an extensive API for JS, CSS, Java, PHP, etc... We use technology so that students use calculators graphics, video, and the module test socket of the Whitelist, as Pearson or Aleks sites. Now, with that said, cookies and stored profile history become a problem, and on up to day 25% of students using computers need history deleted for a loading page. I think I solved this problem permanently by whitelist backend sites import plugins and API etc, I found the console developers. No matter what. What I learned from all this, is that Firefox can be very customizable, using the '...\Mozilla Firefox\mozilla.cfg' and '...\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\prefs\all-companyname.js' (or custom.js) the problem is little matter what I try I can't seem to work. Was the closest I have got here:

    http://www.intrntpirate.com/?p=615

    Here again, even that ^^ did not work. I followed these instructions to a "T". What is the problem with the explanations above in the link? Why firefox doing harder and harder for us to optimize it for massive deployments through a company and a University? I won't do any fancy hacks to avoid the main problem. I need mozilla.cfg and all - companyname.js and override.ini files to work, if and only if they are still topical.

    Here's what my files look like so far:

    name: all - lmc.js

    location: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\

    Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

    Pref ("browser.startup.homepage", "https://(some url)");

    name: override.ini

    location: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\

    [XRE]

    EnableProfileMigrator = false



    name: mozilla.cfg

    location: C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\

    //

    lockPref ("privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown", true);

    lockPref ("privacy.sanitize.promptOnSanitize", false);

    lockPref ("browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser", false);

    lockPref ("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false);

    lockPref ("toolkit.telemetry.prompted", 2);

    lockPref ("toolkit.telemetry.rejected", true);

    I tried using it or not, the Configurator automatic mozilla. I tried to change lockPref pref. Nothing works. Not the override.ini, not at all - lmc.js and not the mozilla.cfg. I lost hours of reading through the blogs of experts telling us to change files that do not exist, or beat around the Bush. I did the search. If you have the answer, or you want to help me understand this just remember to keep it simple. Please, I beg you. In the end, I want to pack all the config files, with one how, in a zip on our shared drive folder. To have FF on measure and ready to deploy on different services on the campus.

    Error console warnings are OK.

    The general.config.obscure_value pref is set to the default of 0?

    You can try to save these versions of the files (open in a Firefox tab and save via Save Page As)

    I don't know if all these prefs are still supported in the current version of Firefox.

  • What are the "keys of PSM private' [Options-Advanced-certificates-security] *? What happens if I "load"?

    By virtue of certificates of the Advanced tab "Safety devices" apparently already in mozilla... but not "responsible". In these safety devices is called «...» The private keys for PSM"that I have the OPTION 'Load', but I can't find any explanation as to what it is (I can guess, but since it is not"loaded"already, I don't think that it has nothing to do with"Private browsing").
    What happens if I have to "load" all (there are others beneath "security devices, also * '), or that *"Security device"..? What function does?

    You need to do nothing. These are part of Firefox and are active.

    • Built in Modules of roots - root certificates used for secure access.
    • Security software - used by the Firefox password manager.
    • NSS internal PKCS #11 - built-in library to manage cryptographic measures that are required for secure connections and encryption names and passwords.

    Why sites keep telling me to update my browser when it is already updated? I already updated my browser and even tried to reinstall. Example - what happens when I try to access my e-mail and other trusted sites.

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    Thank you.

    What happened to my web content caching? Nothing there. Impossible to erase it.

    In case you use "clear history of Firefox closing:

    • do not delete the 'Cache' because Firefox will disable the cache disk in this case

    Note that compensation "Preferences of Site" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.

  • What happened to the tab with the sign + to create an empty tab?

    I recently upgraded to v3.6 through several versions of Firefox v8.01. There was once a small tab with a sign more at the end of the tab bar that allowed me to create a new empty tab. It seems to have disappeared somewhere beyond v4.0

    What happened and how I get it back? Yes I know I can activate the button of toolbar for a new tab, but have it at the end of the tab bar is more natural to use.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Saving as a single .html does not include the full web page (with images and properly formatted) as it did before! What happened here?

    First of all I must emphasize that I keep always up-to-date as soon as a new version of Firefox will appear.

    Now, a few months ago Firefox was able to save complete web pages as a single .htm file (including images and styles). Proof of this is that I have done it then. But now, after a few Firefox updates (sorry, but I can't identify exactly which of them might have been the one that messed up for me), while he was trying to exactly the same thing on the same website it is no longer possible. What happens is that now to choose the option 'Save the Web as HTML' (which I think is that I used to select before) it will not save the images and styles of web page, only the basic text and the home page anchors while he primarily save!

    I still have the old .htm files, I saved before (I can give them to you) and they work again properly on any PC (I tested), so it means that it is not a .htm file using the cache on my PC to render the images links to the file.

    I am aware that I can choose the 'Full page' option, but it creates a folder that I don't want to, so I'd rather have the old option to export the web page in a unique and properly shaped file that includes images!

    Thanks in advance!
