I was messing around with a script in greasemonkey that required adding a useragent override line in about:config. Now I cant figure out how to delete the line I added. I got around it by setting the preference with no value, but I really wanna learn how to delete the line altogether. I read on the pc version you can right-click to delete, but that obviously doesnt work on the n800. Any thoughts?

- install nano
- close the browser
- open xterm and type:
Code:
cd  .mozilla/microb/
cp  prefs.js prefs.js.backup
nano prefs.js
- delete the line with the particular setting
- save the file (ctrl-x, y)

Or if you want all the default settings back:

- close the browser
- open xterm and type:
Code:
rm  .mozilla/microb/prefs.js

thanks! i used the restore default settings. I originally tried the first option, installed nano, typed what you said, but my inexperience with x-term got me stuck. Couldnt find the line I added. That was actually the first time I used xterm. Noob in the house!!!! Again thanks for the quick response!!

No prob. I hope they change Microb such that you can delete/reset all settings from within the browser.

Or...

Code:
cd  .mozilla/microb/
cp  prefs.js prefs.js.backup
ln -s ./prefs.js ~/MyDocs/.documents/prefs.js.txt
Now you can use the Notes application to edit your prefs.js file which now appears in the Documents folder.
