aboutconfig edit

The Configuration Editor (about:config page) lets you view, change, or reset advanced preference settings in Firefox. Learn more.

The Configuration Editor (''about:config'' Advanced Preferences page) lists Firefox settings known as ''preferences'' that are read from the {filepath prefs.js} and {filepath user.js} files in the [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|Firefox profile]] and from application defaults. Many of these preferences are advanced settings that are not present in the [[T:optionsorpreferences]] panel. This article describes how to use the about:config page to view, change, or reset Firefox preference settings, if you need to do so. [[Template:aboutconfigwarning]] __TOC__ =Opening the Advanced Preferences page= [[T:aboutconfig]] [[Image:Fx71aboutconfig]] Click {button Show All} to view all preferences currently set in the profile or use the ''Search preference name'' box to filter the list. =Searching for preferences= You can use the ''Search preference name'' box at the top of the ''about:config'' page to quickly find specific preferences. For example, if you enter ''ocsp'' in the Search box, it will bring up the {pref security.OCSP.enabled} preference. {note}'''Note:''' Preference names are case-sensitive. Search terms are not.{/note} If you enter a search term and a preference does not exist, you will have the option to add a new preference ([[#w_adding-preferences|see below]]). =Modifying preferences= [[Image:Fx71aboutconfigShowAll]] To change a '''boolean (true-false)''' preference's value, double-click on the preference. *Alternatively, you can click the ''Toggle'' [[Image:Fx71aboutconfig-ToggleButton]] button.

If you added the preference entry yourself, it will no longer be listed after restarting Firefox. {note}'''Note:''' A ''Delete'' [[Image:Fx71aboutconfig-DeleteButton]] button may be shown for some preferences that appear in bold type that you did not modify or add, such as preferences whose values are system-specific. Those preferences will be added back, as appropriate, if deleted.{/note} =Adding preferences= To add a new preference, enter its name into the ''Search preference name'' box at the top of the about:config page. At the bottom of the search results (if any), there will be the option to create a new preference.
