Hello all,

Using FireFox v52 (last one for XP)

I would like to have a bookmark to the about:preferences#privacy -> cookies dialog. Is that at all possible, and if so how ?

I've just tried to use "view page source" on the about:preferences#privacy page, but the rightclick context menu seems to be blocked (meaning "inspect element" isn't accessible either).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

Yes.

The interface in Firefox 52 is written using XUL so you need a chrome URL.

If you just want the Cookies dialog, go to the following URL and save as
a bookmark:

chrome://browser/content/preferences/cookies.xul

If you want the entire Privacy screen, go here instead:

chrome://browser/content/preferences/in-content/preferences.xul#privacy

Many of the chrome URLs are version specific, or can't be used in this
manner, but I just tested these in Firefox 52.9.0 and Firefox 52.0.2 ESR
and they work.

Jim,

chrome://browser/content/preferences/in-content/preferences.xul#privacy

I didn't expect a solution anymore, but thank you. Thats exactly what I was looking for.

P.s.
I see three, as far as I can tell exact, copies of your message.

Yes, the three copies are the same. I haven't posted here in a long time
and had some trouble getting things to work the way I wanted.

Is there a general post somewhere that tells how to edit your profile,
delete posts, etc.?

Jim,

Not possible, as its specific to the newsgroup reader program you're using.

delete posts, etc.?

For mere users like you and me ? Also not possible.

Don't worry about it though, nobody considers it a problem. I just wanted to make you aware of it, in case it was your newsgroup program that was acting
up.
