Two things I need advice for

Unread post by pf2222 » 2019-01-13, 15:29

First, the browser rocks! Installed it because firefox magically disappeared because I stopped an update (because I was using a 20smth version of firefox and didn't want the new more draining design/program) and now I'm keeping this as my only browser lol.

Okay, so... when I type in the html bar on the top, instead of taking me directly to a site (because I wrote ".com") it takes me to search results. How can I change that?

And, I've been looking for a tool, program, addon or whatever that can help me disable javascript on sites I pick, same for blocking images on sites I want to pick. Any suggestions for that?

For the first question, try:

about:config > keyword.enabled = true plus browser.fixup.alternate.enabled = false

1.2.0 works fine too, but you have to build the XPI yourself.

Does 1.2.0 offer any noticeable advantage over 1.1.4?

If I remember correctly, there were some bugfixes and/or performance improvements, but don't quote me on that.
I'm sure about removing a couple of features, but you can get them back with separate extensions so nothing was really lost.
