About:config can I delete some entries? I was in about:config making a
new entry. I then scrolled thru the complete file and I saw some some
old printer settings a printed that I have not had for may years. There
where 150 entries for that printer that no longer in use. The entry are
like this "print.printer_HP_Photosmart_C6200_IP.print_bgcolor ;false",
and print.print_printer;HP Photosmart C6200 series, can I just delete
them? And if I can delete them how do I go about it, I see that you can
modify, copy, or create new but no delete.
Yes, it's safe to delete entries for printers that you don't use.
You more or less have the necessary info in other responses to your
post, but to summarize, the route I would go:
First, make a copy of your prefs.js file, so that you have a fall-back,
if something isn't quite right.
From there, If you're comfortable with doing that with a text editor
(e.g., Notepad, and not something that designed for word processing),
you can do it that way. Personally, I'd go via about:config, where it's
easier to use the search tool to filter all the entries related to a
particular printer (e.g., "6200"). To me, that gives you a little more
protection against accidental deletion of something that you don't want
to delete.
For any direct interaction you do with prefs.js (both backup, and if you
decide to work with a text editor), make sure you do that with Seamonkey
closed.
