Website:Documentation Changes for 2.1

Instead of having to go through all of cb.o/support and finding what needs to be changed (ugh), this page will be an on-going list of changes that need to be made due to checkins since 1.6.

XXX need to correlate this with relnotes, since both fell behind

Hidden Prefs

• Disabling plug-ins:
  • To disable a plug-in:
    • First find its name: choose “Installed Plug-Ins” from the “Help” menu and look for the name of the desired plug-in in big, bold text, e.g. “Shockwave Flash”.
    • Then visit about:config and set the camino.disabled_plugin_names hidden preference to a unique prefix made up from the start of the plug-in name, e.g. “Shockw”.
    • Additional plug-ins can be disabled by separating the prefix strings with semicolons (;).
  • The plug-ins are disabled immediately in any and all windows and tabs.
