All,
Updates to 13.1 brought in FF36 which has the annoying habit of popping up a dialog for search engine selection every time I type something in the search dialog -- grr. I've already set preferences -> search to my default StartPage search and I DO NOT want to have that annoying dialog pop-up every time I type. It often covers up the very text I am reading/copying into my query.
Has anyone found an about:config switch, or userChrome.css/userContent.css way to kill it?
p.s. - Will someone please take UI development away from the children who liked playing with Crayons and fingerpaints... What's next? Dancing icons on mouseover toolbar?
Hah - found it:
about:config, then set
"browser.search.showOneOffButtons" false
Bless you, David! :-) This has solved my source of frustration with this inane option.
I don't understand. I have FF 36 and "browser.search.showOneOffButtons" true I get no "popups" querying search engine, no crashes or none lately that I recall and if I close all instances of FF at the same time (kill the processes), I get a request to reopen the same pages that were closed.
I have already suggested that (admittedly, some) developers should be given the Rorschach - or even the Holtzman Inkblot - Test before being let loose on software development.
(I like your comment about "Will someone please take UI development away from the children who liked playing with Crayons and fingerpaints.." Much better expressed than my psychological tests.)
Knew you would. Amazing treatment/opinion of those volunteering their knowledge and labors. If you can do better..... Do it instead of criticizing those that do. The world will be a better place.
