Bookmark Menu
Super fast browser!
Small issue but would like to enable it for our many users.
What is the best way to hide the Bookmark Menu for all users. So not a per user setting, but for all users on a system.
From the browser itself it is simple, but is there configuration to do it?

Re: Bookmark Menu
I add a picture to show how it looks. My browser is in Dutch.
It is called the Bookmark Menu...and I want to hide it. Not in the GI but in configuration.

Re: Bookmark Menu

No, I just wrote where this setting is stored.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:Why the HELL are you telling someone to edit profile.. files manually..
Re: Bookmark Menu
Except.. that has NOTHING to do with what he is asking.. That would only apply for established profiles..
Re: Bookmark Menu
You may be do the hack of the profile creation, i think it is stored in omni.jar in some java code, so you can unpack, make the needed editions and pack back.
Re: Bookmark Menu
In any event, I see no reason to instruct someone on how to do unwise and unsupported things.
Re: Bookmark Menu
Thanks for your help. This is a deep "inside job".
Would be nice if we could think of a way to make this more simple.
This is what I did:
- mkdir /tmp/temp #made a temp directory
- cp /opt/palemoon/browser/omni.ja /tmp/temp #copied /opt/palemoon/browser/omni.ja to it
- cd /tmp/temp # cd
- unzip omni.ja # unzip it
- vi chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.xul # edit it
change
<toolbar id="PersonalToolbar"
mode="icons" iconsize="small" defaulticonsize="small"
lockiconsize="true"
class="chromeclass-directories"
context="toolbar-context-menu"
defaultset="personal-bookmarks"
toolbarname="&personalbarCmd.label;" accesskey="&personalbarCmd.accesskey;"
collapsed="false"
customizable="true">
to
<toolbar id="PersonalToolbar"
mode="icons" iconsize="small" defaulticonsize="small"
lockiconsize="true"
class="chromeclass-directories"
context="toolbar-context-menu"
defaultset="personal-bookmarks"
toolbarname="&personalbarCmd.label;" accesskey="&personalbarCmd.accesskey;"
collapsed="true"
customizable="true">
So the collapsed is now “true”.
- rm omni.ja # delete the old file
- zip -r omni.ja * # made a new omni.ja file
- cp /tmp/temp/omni.ja /opt/palemoon/browser/omni.ja # copied it back
Now every new user (or user with a removed profile) gets a collapsed PersonalToolbar / Bookmark Menu

Re: Bookmark Menu
I hope you don't plan on redistributing this.. Cause it won't be allowed with official branding.
Re: Bookmark Menu
IMHO, this is a wrong and dangerous way that one should not recommend to anyone, let alone give detailed instructions. The same can be easily and safely done using an extension that can be enabled by default for all profiles.

Re: Bookmark Menu
Glad someone else sees this..
Ignore the WebExtensions bits.. Most of that document still applies even to us.. I wish I could find the original resource that described the distribution/extensions directories..

Re: Bookmark Menu
What could be wrong with hiding a Bookmark Menu?
It uses space in a browser window and is filled with standard links most people don't use.

Whatever this person decides to do they best not distribute it with official branding...

Re: Bookmark Menu
There is nothing wrong with hiding a Bookmarks Menu Toolbar, but editing omni.ja is definitely a bad idea.
PS: And, of course, the distribution license should also be respected if you plan to publish the package that was modified in any way.

Re: Bookmark Menu
There is no redistribution of the package. Only usage.
I don’t like to have the standard Bookmark menu compulsory. That’s all.
Maybe it can be done in configuration in the future?

Re: Bookmark Menu
Without repacking omni.ja, i got on mind a method used to cancel addon signing requirement in newer firefox - crafted config.js in browser folder

Re: Bookmark Menu
Off-topic:
Note the "omni.ja" file is not a standard archive file. For example, omni.ja (even if renamed to omni.jar or omni.zip) can not be opened with the popular archive manager 7-Zip. When the edited contents of omni.ja are re-zipped, there is no certainty that the new omni.ja is in the same format as the original omni.ja.

A new forum user. Appears to have above-average technical knowledge. Yet, posts bizarre question and provides an even more bizarre response to this very same question. Perhaps the forum is being trolled? In recent weeks, there seems to be several posts to this forum, of similar nature.What could be wrong with hiding a Bookmark Menu [Bookmarks Toolbar]?

Re: Bookmark Menu
I kinda agree.. But I can't tell if this is the case in this instance..
