What preference can make mozdev.org think Javascript is off
I have narrowed a problem I am having down to my prefs file. I have no extensions installed. When I use a default created prefs file, I can add Search Engine plugins from the following page: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html ... orm=Search , no problem.
If I use my backed up prefs file, I get redirected to the following page whenever I click on one of them to try to install any of the Search Engine plugins: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/jsreq.html
It states that "JavaScript must be enabled to install a search plugin.
If you have installed NoScript, you will need to allow this page to run scripts."
This is a tall task to have to go through one's prefs file setting by setting to figure out the problem, so I am asking here, because I can't figure out what it could be, and I thought you guys might know which probable preference it might be.

yep. http://umsis.miami.edu/~medmunds/prefs.js
Make note that there are a lot of extension settings in there, but I don't have any of the extensions installed, so it shouldn't matter.

Code: Select all
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.Clipboard.cutcopy", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.Clipboard.paste", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.javascript.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript.sites", "...");
Try getting rid of those and remove all of the extension preferences.

Those may have just been session preferences, because they are no longer present in my prefs file.

hmm, that is weird, I see it in mine in about:config. Maybe I didn't upload the right prefs.js?

I am trying to avoid removing all of the extension preferences, as I don't know which are which. I could inadvertently reset the Firefox preference that is causing the problem, and it would get us no where. That is why I am posting here, because people here should know if there are any specifically Firefox settings that could be causing this.

Yeah, that is the mistake that I made last time. However, I just realized that javascript.enabled is not going to be present if it is true, because that is the default value. Furthermore, I still see those entries you mentioned, however, they don't show up in about:config. I am going to go in an manually remove them from the prefs.js file and see what happens.

Removed them, and still no fix. Here is my updated prefs.js: http://umsis.miami.edu/~medmunds/prefs.js

CAPS preferences do not display in about:config.
