Nanaki Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Config value "accessibility.browsewithcaret" should be "false". Maybe it's configured wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHANDER Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 But how would only mine have that problem? Because I certainly didnt enable it...Some things you can do by accident, this isnt one of them If anyone wants to try installing through the installer I have to see whats wrong.....

SiMoNsAyS Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) well your problem it's not a problem itself when i built the installer, i included a copy of my prefs.js file with my default settings (including user_pref("accessibility.browsewithcaret", true); ). if you want to tweak any1 or include yours here is what you need to do...open the .exe setup you downloaded with winrar. extracth en_US.xpi and open that file with winrar again. there you'll see some interesting folders like "searchplugins" with the default searchplugins included (you can add/remove any).browse to defaults>profile>pref.js and edit it with your preferences. now back on the process, save your prefs.js and update the file en_US.xpi, then re-add it to the setup package (easy enough? ).most people is not having this problem because they overwrite the default settings with his profiles... also it explains why if you reinstall firefox the "problem" re-appears. sorry if this caused an inconvenience edit: you can also add this network settings to the prefs.js that apparently "improve" the browsing for dsl connections user_pref("network.cookie.cookieBehavior", 1);user_pref("network.cookie.prefsMigrated", true);user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 40);user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 16);user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true); Edited January 23, 2005 by SiMoNsAyS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHANDER Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thanks for the confirmation that I wasn't just imagining things I'l get right ont the prefs editing...about the network settings, do they actually do anything? I read them in an article a while back and had implemented them but didnt really see much of a change Edit: does the pref.js file accept variables? I want my download directory to be "%homepath%\My Downloads" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 do they actually do anything?well this setting is specially interestinguser_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 100);it increases the time it waits until it can't display the page so i would add it does the pref.js file accept variables?no, that's why i included C:\Downloads that is my default download dir. this is one of our big problems when trying to install extensions and themes unattended.

CHANDER Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Ok I'l take that one And I assume theres no way to get arround the variable block? cant access a key from the registry or have it download to a link that points to your homedirectory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 correct.that's why we used the @jdoe's method. the .vbs read those paths and writes them on the necessary files using gsar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
