Firefox 75.0 - Hackdot

Re:Firefox 75.0 by sp332 on Friday April 10, 2020 @07:41AM (#22831993)

There's a more complete set of flags to disable more stuff:

  browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus = false
  browser.urlbar.update1 = false
  browser.urlbar.update1.interventions = false
  browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips = false

Does any of that help the click behavior?

There's also

    browser.urlbar.maxRichResults

which limits the number of sites shown in the dropdown, and which can be set to 0. This fixes my biggest complaint about the new URL bar.

If by click behaviour, you mean `clickSelectsAll` I'm afraid its not going to be fixed. Here's the relevant bugzilla page: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1621570

The bad click behavior persists.

I haven't updated yet, still on 74.0 -- but does

  browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll = false

still work?

I regret to be on 75.0 and I can not find that parameter. Removed?

1. You have to restart the browser for changes of those prefs to take effect.

2. `browser.urlbar.update1` is going away (is already gone in nightly builds -- see my other comment elsewhere for details.)

I already assumed a restart was required (the plain update1 one requires a restart, too). Still makes no difference to click behavior.
