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 1.0.

Hidden Prefs

  • View source in tab (defaults to window)
  • browser.backspace_action
  • browser.download.progressDnldDialog.bringToFront // bring download window to the front when each download starts
  • The profile directory can now be customized with the environment variable CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR set to a custom path.
    • This also makes it possible to run more than one Camino instance, as long as they're running from different profiles.
    • Example:

export CAMINO_PROFILE_DIR=~/Documents/MyTestProfile
open Camino.app

  • Forcing "all" cookies to expire on quit/make "all" cookies session cookies
    "Session cookies" are automatically discarded when you quit the browser. To force cookies to expire on quit, set the network.cookie.lifetimePolicy pref to 2. Note that this will NOT expire any cookies you have already accepted, nor will it change the policy applied to sites in your Exceptions List. Setting this pref will also prevent you from being asked each time a site wants to set a cookie.

    user_pref("network.cookie.lifetimePolicy", 2);

Annoyances

  • Popup blocker now invades the content area

Privacy & Security

  • Session cookies (new option in the "ask" sheet, in new "Policy" option, "Allow for Session", in the Exceptions List.
    • These cookies will be deleted when you quit Camino
    • If you chose "remember" and "allow for session", cookies from the site will be automatically allowed each time you visit and automatically deleted each time you quit Camino
    • To force all new cookies to be session cookies (without asking at all; disables all forms of asking, but respects pre-existing white/blacklists and set cookies), see the Hidden Prefs
    See, this is too complicated to explain already :P

Search

  • Search field is resizable, always visible with location bar

Downloading

  • Trash button

General
