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 2.0.

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.

• inline autocomplete text refers only to history currently
• disable autocomplete?? - "browser.urlbar.autocomplete.enabled" to false - this pref isn't new; no reason to add it now
• "network.manage-offline-status" to false to turn off auto-offline - wait-and-see
• DNS prefetch prefs (Bug 493474; applies only to new tab/window - done, but may need changing for HTTPs
• web app storage "don't ask" pref aka universally allow Bug 529918 - wait-and-see, no real-world use yet
• Removal of "Always use my page and link colors" from UI; flip "browser.display.use_document_colors" to false to break sites.
• Color management hidden pref has changed to "gfx.color_management.mode" (default 2, "tagged graphics only") [1]
