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 (2.1a1, 2.1b1, 2.1b2, 2.1rc), 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
• DNS prefetch prefs (Bug 493474; applies only to new tab/window
• 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

• Removal of "Always use my page and link colors" from UI; flip "browser.display.use_document_colors" to false to break sites.
