Can not find
extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes
as mentioned in post number, wait I can't see any post numbers, I count the eighth reply.
Could anybody please explain, where to find the "data" in order to get it listed?

[Michael]

The item can be found if you visit the address about:config, promise to be careful, then search for the desired variable in the box at the top of the page. The string may be edited by double-clicking the item name.

[blockingrelatedquestion]

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I don't understand where to look. I am not that familiar with things like that.
I searched the drive which contains the firefox profiles, dozens of files and folders appeared containing the word config in the folder or file name or in the file itself, but nothing seems to be related to ABP.
Would appreciate if you could give me a hint, where to look, in the windows file system, in the profile file system, in the programm file system where the firefox programm is located, in which folder or file or where, I have no idea.
Thank you.

I just found by case on the page
en/preferences
with a link to
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
explaining how to find the item.
In the list after more than 450 lines appeared:
extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes
and on the right side:
about chrome file irc moz-safe-about news resource snews x-jsd addbook cid imap mailbox nntp pop data javascript moz-icon
What does these things mean?
Is this the right item and what do I do now exectly?
Thank you.

What does these things mean?

about:config lists information that the browser needs to know but which may be altered if required. extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes contains the protocols on which Adblock Plus turns off automatically.

Is this the right item and what do I do now exectly?

This is the right item. It needs to be altered to remove "data" to form

Code: Select all

about chrome file irc moz-safe-about news resource snews x-jsd addbook cid imap mailbox nntp pop javascript moz-icon

To modify an existing preference, context-click (right-click) on the preference, select Modify and type in the new value. In some cases, Toggle will be the selection offered for boolean (true-false) preferences.

Thank you,
I deleted the word 'date' and a space (blank) as mentioned in your post.
You wrote:

I looked at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?tit ... ch.timeout
but didn't find anything.
Is this protocol for automatic turn off ABP-specific, meaning : Are the possible preference parameters in that line of the "extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes"-entry ABP-specific and should appear in the documentation of the ABP?
Thank you.

[blockingrelatedquestion]

The question in other words:
In order to know what else could be changed in the "extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes"-entry of about:config,
the possible options and their meaning can be looked up at Mozilla pages or at ABP pages?
Thank you.

Why doesn't extensions.adblockplus.whitelistschemes effect EHH?

[blockingrelatedquestion]

I guess, if in about:config is written: extension.adblockplus.... , then the preferences are restricted to ABP and for EHH there are preferences like: extensions.elemhidehelper...., which are restricted to EHH, but I don't yet understand, where these preferences come from. If they are "privat options" of ABP, why they are written there in about:config and if they are used by the browser, then there is the question, where the documentation for these options is on the mozilla pages.

[anonymous74100]

I think it's this setting: extensions.elemhidehelper.acceptlocalfiles, but even after setting it to true, I still can't block those annoying snippets on about:home

where these preferences come from

Any extension can create it's own settings there, the non-default values are stored in prefs.js in you Firefox profile dir.

[blockingrelatedquestion]

Thank you for the answer.
1) What do you want to hide, can you give examples?
2) In the profile is a prefs file with another almost 450 lines, but looks like the same as in about:config.
In the ABP-folder there is a file telling the defaults only.
The question remains, where is explained, which possible options there are for each preference and what do they mean?
Thank you.

The file has only non-default values, the ones that are in bold in about:config

The question remains, where is explained, which possible options there are for each preference and what do they mean?

instead of using names of ids could one use the position of the id? Is that XPath or CSS selectors?
