349 | individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
|
---|
350 | using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
|
---|
351 | tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
|
---|
352 | <systemitem role="url">about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This

353 | will display a list of the configuration preferences and information

354 | related to each one. You can use the <quote>Search:</quote> bar to enter
|

355 | search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
|
---|
356 | can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
|
---|
357 | (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
|
---|
358 | and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
|
---|
359 | choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
|
---|
360 | new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
|

361 | <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
