Right-click anywhere in the preference list and select one of the entries under the sub-menu "New". In this case, you'd use New -> String. Then give the entry the name and value you want, confirm the dialog and you're done. You'll notice the context menu has other commands such as "Copy Name", "Copy Value" and the handy "Reset" which will restore the initial / default value or blank for non-built-in preferences.

Well, it does Fred or at least it should :-) . Which version of FF are you using? BTW, whatever you can access via about:config is actually what is in the file prefs.js inside the ./mozilla directory so you can edit that file and add the required line(s).

Of course editing this file won't work - it's not the file. 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 <---------------------------x /home/basil/firefox/greprefs/security-prefs.js /home/basil/thunderbird/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js /home/basil/thunderbird/defaults/profile/prefs.js /home/basil/thunderbird/greprefs/security-prefs.js /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/profile/prefs.js /usr/lib/firefox/greprefs/security-prefs.js /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.1b2/greprefs/security-prefs.js /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.8.1b2/simple/defaults/preferences/simple-prefs.js /usr/share/YaST2/yastbrowser/defaults/preferences/yastbrowser-prefs.js I would be backing up any needed files in the FF installation (like bookmarks, passwords) and reinstalling FF to make sure it is all correctly installed.

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 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. 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).

Well, don't feel too bad. I have the .firefox directory in my home directory right now, I believe because an older version of firefox put it there, and it never got removed when I updated to a newer version. I've looked into both, and know that firefox currently uses .mozilla/firefox; the most recent entry in .firefox is 7/19/06 (libjavaplugin_oji.so), and many of the entries under .mozilla/firefox are today (I just now started my session). -- John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
