All, After updating a box to the 5.6.3 kernel, I decided to update FF from 60.8esr to 68.6esr. (yes, I know 68.7esr is out, one release back was intentional) As with any new version jump in FF, it took about 45 minutes to chase down and disable all the crapola I don't want or need. Hopefully this will save someone else the 45 minutes. This isn't new version related, but I don't want search suggestion cluttering up my search results, so set the following to `false` in about:config browser.search.suggest.enabled browser.urlbar.suggest.openpage I can't stand ads or other junk cluttering up the addons page trying to tell me what they think are good addons. If I need a feature, I'm smart enough to search for it myself. about:config set to `false` extensions.htmlaboutaddons.discover.enabled extensions.htmlaboutaddons.recommendations.enabled I don't want an mozilla firefox account and I don't want a dopey smiley face on my toolbar. about:config set to `false` identity.fxaccounts.enabled identity.fxaccounts.toolbar.enabled I do not want software that attempts to download and install a new version of itself and I don't need a 50M download waiting to be installed. Nor do I want a green up-arrow over the hamburger as a nag reminder. Only now, mozilla has taken away the ability to use about:config to disable automatic download of updates and mozilla took away the setting in preferences where you could tell firefox not to check for updates (annoying) Now you have to hack together a json file of policies which for 68.6 requires you create a 'distribution' directory in the firefox install location, e.g. for a mozilla tarball that is: /opt/firefox/distribution/policies.json (I'm not sure where that would be for the rpm -- Wolfgang?) The contents to disable updates and the green nag is: { "policies": { "AppAutoUpdate": false } } (which of course will need to be wrapped in the policies-template for 68.7...) Good news is after removing the cruft, firefox is just as good in this esr version as the last. -- David C.
