Changing settings in Firefox (the swirl in the top right under min/max/close)
One setting I had gotten used to with Firefox on Windows is that the swirl thing under the minimize/maximize/close button would take you to mozillia.org. With SUSE it takes you to Novel. Is there some way I can go in and change this?
Also, I know in Windows to remove unused search engine plugins you delete the .src and image file for the engine from c:\program files\mozilla firefox\searchplugins how do I do this in Linux? I've looked everywhere that I can think of (I'm still getting used to the tree setup for linux, it doesn't make sense yet). |
Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter.
Scroll down and look for " browser.throbber.url " modify it to any site as you want |
Thanks troydclick, worked like a champ! Any idea about the search plugins?

actually i havnt linux on my PC now so i cant help u

Firefox installed off openSuSE defaults the throbber to Novell. Installed from Mozilla you get what you wanted. About:config as mentioned above gives you complete control.

I searched the entire about:config and couldn't find that mouse over text. I looked in all order of config files but can't find the mouse over. Perhaps its in the code. If it bothers you, you can re-install firefox from mozilla.org and it will no longer say Novell.

Its not so much the novell bit, would just be nice to see how to change it. Thanks for looking.
