297 Setting this to true specifies that any window may be closed |
|
298 and isn’t recommended. Entering false specifies that only |
|
299 windows opened by script can be closed via close(). |
|
300 dom.disable_image_src_set (Boolean). |
|
301 This option determines whether JavaScript is allowed to change |
|
302 images. Set this to true to enable this feature and false to |

|
309 existing pop-up blocker settings are applied. Default is 1000 (1 second). |
|
310 dom.disable_open_during_load (Boolean). |
|
311 Set this to true to enable Firefox’s built-in pop-up blocker, which disables the loading of much pop-up content on sites – which will mostly be advertisements (it’s worth noting this is not perfect and will also disable many legitimate pop-ups). Should a pop-up be blocked in this way an information bar will appear at the top of the window, from which you can select what action to take. Setting this to false disables the pop-up blocker (Not recommended). Note – This is the same as the Block pop-up windows option in the Options menu, Content tab. |

|
316 dom.disable_window_move_resize (Boolean). |
|
317 This option controls whether JavaScript can be used to move &/or resize windows, whereby setting this to false enables scripts to do this.

|
318 |
|
319 dom.disable_window_open_feature.close (Boolean). |
|
320 Set this to false to enable the use of scripting to hide the close button of windows, true forces the close button to always be displayed (recommended). |
|
321 |
|
322 dom.disable_window_open_feature.directories (Boolean). |
|
323 Set this to false to enable the use of scripting to hide the bookmarks toolbar, true prevents the bookmarks toolbar from being hidden in this way. |

|
336 |
|
337 dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbar (Boolean). |
|
338 Set this to false to enable the use of scripting to hide the Scroll bar in windows, true disables the hiding of the Scroll bar in windows. |
|
339 |
|
340 dom.disable_window_open_feature.status (Boolean). |
|
341 This option controls whether JavaScript can be used to hide the status bar, whereby setting this to false enables scripts to do this. Set this to true to force the status bar to be displayed at all times. Note – This is the same as the Hide the status bar option in Advanced JavaScript Settings. |
|
342 |
|
343 dom.disable_window_open_feature.titlebar (Boolean). |
|
344 Set this to false to enable the use of scripting to hide the Title bar of windows, true forces the Title bar to always be displayed. |

345 |
|
346 dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar (Boolean). |
|
347 Set this to false to enable the use of scripting to hide the Navigation toolbar, i.e. Back, Forward, etc. buttons, false prevents the hiding of the Navigation toolbar. |
|
348 |
|
349 dom.disable_window_status_change (Boolean). |
|
350 This option controls whether JavaScript can be used to display custom text in the status bar, e.g. moving the mouse over a hyperlink normally would display where the link points to, though a script could be used to display something else instead. Set this to false to allow such custom status bar text displayed, while true will disable this. Note – This is the same as the Change status bar text option in Advanced JavaScript Settings. |
|
351 |
|
352 dom.event.contextmenu.enabled (Boolean). |
|
353 This option controls whether JavaScript can be used to alter, or even disable the context menu, e.g. right clicking could be disabled on certain pages. Set this to true if you wish to allow sites to be able to do this, while false ensures scripts can’t be used to alter this functionality. Note – This is the same as the Disable or replace context menus option in Advanced JavaScript Settings. |
|
354 |
|
355 dom.max_script_run_time (Integer). |
|
356 This specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that a script |
|
357 in content may run before being prompted whether to continue |
|
358 running it or not (default 10). Setting to 0 allows scripts to |
|
359 run as long as required. |
|
360 dom.max_chrome_script_run_time (Integer). |
|
361 This specifies the amount the amount of time, in seconds, that |

|
363 whether to continue running it or not (default 20). |
