On my FF15 system, I have about a dozen sets like this in pref.js :
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p28.granted",
"UniversalXPConnect");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p28.id", "file://");
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p28.subjectName", "");
Can someone explain what the "p" values means?
Note that none of these specify a specific file.
I seem to be able to *SAVE new TW* files *without *Tiddly fox and *without
*having
to change anything in the prefs file. None of the TW files that I have been
using are listed in the prefs.js. I'm wondering if the "file://" means that
any local file can be written to. For me its been mostly importing that has
been impacted by FF15.
If not this setting, then there must be some other magic setting that will
allow you to save ... because its doing it on my system.
Thanks,
Mark
