Where Firefox temporarily store user.js settings when the file is deleted after a first run?

Hello

Try to deploy user settings in our area via user.js, I do not want to be forced inside the GUI. So I save a user.js file temporarily in the user profile, launch Firefox now and then delete the file again. Now, all the settings have become part of Firefox' settings but I can't find them in the prefs.js or user.js. Now my question is: where Firefox stores this information? Is there a SQlite DB be somewhat different in the registry? In fact, I don't want to get rid of my script isn't that kind of lack of fault tolerance and complicated.

Thanks in advance,
Simon

No worries - this isn't your Setup, it's always a problem get it right first time...

Let's start it is super simple - put this in the file local - settings.js in/defaults/pref:

pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");

and then in mozilla.cfg which must go in the same folder as following firefox.exe (these files should probably be ANSI encoded this way):

//
lockPref("lis.a.a", 2);

doesn't this show preferably upwards in all: config subsequently, when you launch the browser?

  • Why Firefox tells me "another program is using the file" 1 hour after the update of Firefox, when I click on the desktop icon?

    It happened when I tried to update c. 16 to 17 as well. I had go it and download v. 18 and he told me that she had and he asked me to restart Firefox. I clicked on the "Restart Firefox" button. He closed Firefox 17. I waited an hour and no Firefox had begun. I clicked on the icon on my desktop for Firefox, and I got a window with "another program is using the file.

    The last time that happened, I had to uninstall v. 16, use Opera 12.12 to download version 17 and then installed, to have to set my preferences just a little and then I could start v. 17.

    Why update your program allows me to update, instead of downloading a new program?

    I'm on Windows XP SP3 and a very fast motherboard.

    Finally, I decided to check if my AVG antivirus or IOBit Malware Fighter software is interfering and I disabled them temporarily. I restarted and then turned off these programs and then opens Firefox. It was as usual, 17.0.1 version not updated. I went to help, on Firefox, click Find updates. Downloading updates, invited to restart Firefox, and after closing Firefox, I got the window that says that he was installing the updates, for the first time for an attempt to update to version 17 or 18. He installed the updates and restarted in fact without any problems.

    I was about to turn off all of my Add-ons for the next test. I never had to disable my AVG or IOBit before and they are the latest versions, too. AVG is the same version that allowed the update to v. 16 before. If something is different both Firefox 17 and 18, that it will not allow updates with AVG in force (or possibly IOBit Malware Fighter).

  • exclamation point for songs matching when the file is deleted

    It doesn't stop of getting more bizarre.  When I delete the songs to get the version of iTunes, an exclamation point is carried by the song instead of the cloud with the arrow. I double-click on the song and he said: "the 'X' song could not be used because the original file cannot be found. You want to locate? "Then I hit Cancel it. He then removed the exclamation point, puts the cloud with the arrow through it, as usual, ready for me to click on it and download. In addition, he can now play the song. I have thousands of them in my collection. What I have to double-click on each song and click Cancel so that it it is labeled correctly for iTunes to download game. Yes, I checked library iCloud.

    It is the latest version of iTunes 12.3.2.35.  Any suggestions on how I can select all the pieces with this problem and that iTunes is to define each song correctly?

  • My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files. How do I take the old bookmarks if there is no backup?

    My PC crashed. Restored on a new record and a new installation of FireFox. I can still access all the files on the old drive. How do I take the old bookmarks if no backup exists, or has been completed? Does not save bookmarks of FireFox auto? If, then what is the file name and where is normally stored by FireFox?

    In fact, it can be easier...

    If you have the old drive connected as, say, drive E, go to:

    E:\Users\username
    

    Then click in the address bar and paste it after this and press ENTER to open it:

    \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Normally, you have only one file, which has a random string followed by "default." In this case, click on this file and find the subfolder bookmarkbackups.

    If you find multiple profile folders, look inside to find the most recently updated backups.

    To restore the backup files, see: restore bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer

  • Look for the timestamp when the file is moved

    I want to find when my file is moved from one folder to another folder with in the same drive. Suppose I have a text file and I just cut this file to a folder and paste to another folder, but in the same drive then I see that none of the date changes i.e. Date_created, date_de_modification, Date_Accessed. Could any body tell me how can I identify when the file is moved from one place to the other place.

    Can anyone help please as it is necessary in an emergency.

    Thanks in advance!

    I suggest you do this:

    1. Change the first two lines of the script more far down to suit your needs.
    2. Save the script as Filemonitor.vbs in an appropriate place.
    3. Invoke the script from a command prompt. He will continue to run in the background until you press Ctrl + C.
    4. Add a file in the target folder. Within 10 seconds, you should see the output in the log file.
    5. Add the name of the script to your startup or logon script so that it runs automatically.

    sTargetFolder = "D:\Test."
    sLogfile = "D:\Log.txt".

    Set OFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.Filesystemobject")
    «sFldr = "" "" & Replace (sTargetFolder, "-","-") & "»
    Set oWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    Set cMonitoredEvents = oWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
    ("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE" _)
    & "Targetinstance ISA"CIM_DirectoryContainsFile"and"_ ".
    (& ' TargetInstance.GroupComponent ='Win32_Directory.Name = "& sFldr &" ' ")
    Do
    Set oLatestEvent = cMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
    Set oLog = oFSO.OpenTextFile (sLogfile, 8, True)
    oLog.WriteLine Date() & "" & time & "" & Replace (oLatestEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent, "-","-" "")
    oLog.Close

  • When the files of ingestion, prelude does not see an entire tree.

    When the files of ingestion, prelude is not going deep enough into my directory tree.

    It seems to stop at the 5th level of the root. I have structures down 8 levels on some directories.

    First Pro sees OK because it uses the Windows Explorer interface, while the prelude has its own file tree interface.

    I have set up a situation of test, and Prelude didn't hurt to follow along the line... eight files down, was always fine...

    The only thing you could check... notice the "consider as ' box top-right? That should be "list of files" to continue. In file earlier, I got a clip CinemaDNG, and he wanted to change to "As DNG" here. And would not go further down in the directory as this file until I changed the setting for this folder. It is because for a number of file formats off camera, regarding the CinemaDNG and some of the Arri, RED and other formats, the images are more than one type DPX where each image is a separate file, as written on the disc, so a file is actually a logged clip. So, "show you" prelude where the image folders, and she knows to show those clips, not as a bunch of still images.

    Then you have some of these formats as shown on this "as:" in the drop-down list in these records? If so, there is your problem. You may need to change your storage scheme.

  • White falls when the file is printed.

    I have a white logo on a dark background. The logo consists of a mark with the text below. When the file printed brand appeared, but the text does not. It's on my record, my screen, my internal evidence, the final pdf and proof of the printer. The only place where that he gave was on the final printed piece...

    I had happen in the past with other logos and told me that the fix was to always use files .ai and .eps not. I was also told to add 1% of another color to any all white illustrator. These changes appear to have worked in the past. I did these two things to this file and it still gives up.

    The final file was built in InDesign and has been provided to the printer as a PDF, high resolution and a collected file.

  • Re-read in values in the measurement file when the file is updated

    Hello

    I'm trying to control a power supply with labview and adjust the tension. I currently work reading in a file and measures affecting the value in the file. I now have the question I want to update this value when the file is modified, as read in the file again when it is updated and set the voltage again. I've tried several things, but if I put the file in the while loop, then it plays once and then returns 0 after the first loop. Outside the while loop it reads only the initial value.

    I'm quite new to labview so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you
