Google has not been very kind in shedding light on the subject as all of the solutions site different file locations and names. I'm just looking to set the default homepage for now. Is anyone successfully doing this? Has it changed from Firefox 3.0, 3.6, and the current packaged 10? A working example and file path would be much appreciated. Hi Mark: I believe you should be able to update the global prefs.js in something like /usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/defaults/profile/prefs.js Eg something like user_pref(browser.startup.homepage, http://google.com;) Anything in firefox about:config should be able to be set like that globally. I'm actually trying on FF 10 on a 32bit install. I've been trying various filenames with those contents (also pref(), lock_pref() and lockPref()) in: /usr/lib/firefox/ /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/ /usr/lib/firefox/defaults/preferences/ (this is where channel-prefs.js exists) I even created /etc/firefox (and a few subdirectories based on a google search. I'm stuck with the file:///usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html, even after clearing out ~/.mozilla. I'm not looking for theoretical replies, but rather someone who is _actually_ doing it and has it working. There must be someone out there who's got this worked out on SL/CentOS/TUV.

There must be someone out there who's got this worked out on SL/CentOS/TUV. We do. with Firefox 10/Thunderbird 10 is is enough to drop files in preferences directories (without altering original ones): these are processed in sort order on startup. /usr/lib64/firefox/defaults/preferences/somefile.js (/usr/lib64/thunderbird/defaults/pref/somefile.js) (of course change lib64 to lib on 32bit platform) Now, unfortunately it does not work for browser startup page, apparently because of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=461880 (yes I know it is an old bug for FF 3.0 , but looking at spec file for FF 10 a workaround for this bug is still applied , which may not be necessary anymore) Sorry, writing faster than processing info ;-): a different workaround but still causing same problem is in place instead. The workaround used prevents browser home page customization from js preferences: to get rid of it you would need to rebuild firefox disabling/changing it in spec file or repack all/some /usr/lib64/firefox/langpacks/langpack-*.xpi files changing content of chrome/*/locale/branding/browserconfig.properties Jarek __ --- _ Jaroslaw_Polok __ CERN - IT/OIS/ODS _ _ http://home.cern.ch/~jpolok ___ tel_+41_22_767_1834 _ _ +41_76_487_9487 _
roller ball weirdness
Hi All, I am using Scientific Linux 6.2 x64 and Xfce 4.8. Since upgrading to 6.2, I have noticed if I scroll too fast on my mouse wheel, that I change windows. I wind up in a different program and have to click back to get back to my original program. Is this on purpose? And, is there a way to defeat the behavior? Many thanks, -T

If the mouse is over the Workplace switcher.. the workplace switcher will take the mouse scroll as changing screens. I have had this happen serveral times when I thought I was doing one thing and it actually switched screens. Once I figured out it was where the mouse was located..
