firefox_change_default_values

This is an old revision of the document!


As the world turns more and more towards 'default dumb user' in every application, some changes is needed to make it fit nerds. As I kept on forgetting which values to change when installing new machines, I've decided to write them down:

browser.urlbar.autoFill → FALSE - Effect: Firefox does not autocomplete url's (e.g. 192.168.5.1 makes Firefox autofill 192.168.5.108. Pretty annoying! I'm not a dumb user, Firefox, I KNOW what I'm typing. I didn't mean “.108” when I wrote “.1” and pressed enter. I meant “.1”, nothing else. Don't correct it. Me master, you machine) browser.urlbar.trimURLs → FALSE - Effect: Shows current protocol in URL bar. When enabled it removes the protocol definition (http://, ftp://, https: etc.). Am I using FTP, HTTP, HTTPS? I don't know, because Firefox removed it! Goddamn Chrome-wannabe-behaviour) dom.disable_window_move_resize → TRUE - Effect: Disallows javascript to resize browser windows. I KNOW my window size, and that is the size I want it. Don't fuck with it. Me master, you machine. dom.event.contextmenu.enabled → FALSE - Effect: Disallows javascript to remove the top menu, disable rightclicking etc.
