Something is really screwed up there Fred if you can only find the one prefs.js on your system.
Below are all the prefs.js file on my 10.2 install - and not all relate to FF or TB. Because I do not use FF or Thunderbird (TB) as they are installed by 10.2 itself (I install my own, from mozilla.org into my /home directory) the prefs.js in /usr are only cosmetic entries - it's the ones in the /home directory which are the active ones (for FF and TB).
/home/basil/.thunderbird/xxxxxxxxxx.default/prefs.js /home/basil/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js /home/basil/firefox/defaults/profile/prefs.js
This is interesting. The FireFox I have installed is from SUSE, including their latest update. There ISN'T in my home dir a /home/xxx/firefox directory. There's a .firefox dir. with not much in it. Now, WHY is there so
[Are you sure about the .firefox dir because I don't think I have ever seen one only the .mozilla directory?]
Yep.....I'm sure. 'Pure openSUSE box....NO FF from Mozilla.
much difference between what SUSE is shipping and what installs from the FF site?!
Don't worry about these 2 entries-
/home/basil/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js /home/basil/firefox/defaults/profile/prefs.js
because I install FF and TB in my /home directory hence this "firefox" directory which contains the executables; the profile files are in the ".mozilla" directory and this is where you should be finding the prefs.js file under discussion.
Nope. :(
In your case, however, I expect to find the 2 files you just mentioned (above) in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/ because you are using the Suse installed FF. But in your earlier msg you stated that you only have the 1 prefs.js file in some obscure location which is what I was querying because the Suse installed FF goes into /usr/lib/firefox/ and there are prefs.js files there (but as "samples" only).
'Why I got cornfused. ;) The one you address above was/is the first one I found.......before the other dir. Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
