Hi there!
I made a type while adding an entry to my about:config. Now I can't find a way to remove the faulty item. <Del> fails, right clicking doesn't offer me the option to remove it. Maybe there's a way to "edit the about.config file via vi" or something?
Best regards,
Severin |

| First close iceweasel, then edit /home/xx/.mozilla/firefox/xx.default/prefs.js remove the line with the faulty item and restart iceweasel |

Hi severin,
You have to find at first iceweasel's profiledir and then modify the correspondent prefs.js.
Normally you 'll find it in your homedir
Code:
~/.mozilla/firefox/.../prefs.js
For your safety, backup this file and modify it your way.
Greetings

I agree with piper get MR Tech's Local Install, it makes editing Iceweasel/Icedove config files very easy.
You are better off putting any changes in your user.js, since it stays across updates and can be edited with Iceweasel open. |
