Not sure I ever saw these in Preferences. Maybe it was with the plugin UserAgentSwitch or similar? There is something like this in Konqueror, though. In any case I was able to add these fields in config:about to Mozilla version, but since they are "default" and not "user set" in SUSE version, I could not remove them from about:config, but found that they are set in /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/pref/firefox-novell.js, so I've just removed them from this file. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
