Firefox question

[Trapper]

As a member of a couple of vBulletin forums, I am wondering where I can find the settings (if there are any) so FF doesn't boot me after about ten minutes of inactivity. Help.

I think it is Tools->Options->Security->Passwords, set remember passwords for sites.

But don't quote me, it has been a while.

I just had to quote you. hehe

Nope. Mine's already set to remember. As soon as I start to type the username it populates the UN and pswd fields. It just boots me off after 10 minutes or so. My home puter (I'm at work now) I use FF and don't have this issue. *raises eyebrow*

[krisma5]

strange...

[Strong]

When you initially log on, front page of the site, there is a small check box next to the User Name text field, it is the Remember Me check box. Select that and try!

It should work.

[Trapper]

Did that... no worky.

[krisma5]

what do you use at work?

[Trapper]

Fire Foxxxx

[krisma5]

and at home the same?

[Muddy]

What version in each place?

[Trapper]

5.0 here. I'll let you know when I get home on the other.

[Muddy]

FF 5.0??? You sure? I think the latest is 3.5.2

[Trapper]

Sorry, it's 3.0.13

I was reading "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009073022 Firefox/3.0.13"

Does this thread (http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?style_mode=inproduct&locale=en-US&forumId=1&comments_parentId=29493) describe the same problem you're having?

It appears that typing about:config into the address bar brings up timeout settings... but you get a nasty warning first...

[Muddy]

Yeah, there's a ton of stuff you can customize by using about:config.

[krisma5]

yeah and lots that you can tweak to your specializations.

About config (http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about%3Aconfig/)


[Edit] Your link isn't working Krisma. Did you mean this one by any chance?
"http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about:config/"

[krisma5]

Yes, I did. Wonder why it didn't got through right.

[krisma5]

For some reason that isn't working right either... hmmm

[Strong]

Something is tampering with the url, that explains what happened to your original link Krisma.

I'll flag it as something we need to look at.

[krisma5]

Thanks.

[Strong]

OK, link finally sorted, sorry it took so long Krisma.

Apparently when you use a colon in a url like you were doing it needs to be written in it's hexadecimal coded notation.

Thus your link should be:

"http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about%3Aconfig/" for it to work.

I've corrected it now, so it should work.

[krisma5]

Great many thanks. I hope that it's helpful for those that were trying to read it....

[Strong]

Yeah, me too after all that! I had to resort to looking things up on Google :sqlaugh:

[krisma5]

That's what google is there for. lol

[iowadawg]

Another thread that I believe should be bumped up to be revisited by all.

[krisma5]

Ha ha ha, I just clicked the link again and it's still not working. Weird.

[Strong]

I don't think the page exists any more, they seem to have removed it. Can you find it Krisma?

[krisma5]

let me look.

[krisma5]

Yep, they moved it.

ht tp://kb.mozilla zine.org/About:config

just need to take out the spaces.

[Strong]

Just testing!

http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config (http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig)

[julien_simon]

that works.

[Strong]

Yeah I inserted the % 3 A in the link.

[pctec]

I'll be careful, I promise!

LOL

In Firefox and Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey, type about:config in the Location Bar (address bar) and press Enter to display the list of preferences, as shown below in Firefox 3. (If you see a page with the warning message, This might void your warranty!, click the button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!", to continue.)

[ewomack]

How would that hold up in court: "Well, sir, I did click the 'I'll be careful, I promise' button!"

[pctec]

I do not believe promises are contractual :D

[ewomack]

Well, those slimy shrink wrap warranties have held up in court... unfortunately... be careful what you unwrap...
