Permanently deleting Firefox keyboard shortcuts - firefox

Is there a way to access the firefox directory where all the keyboard shortcuts are stored? I want to be able to delete all of them, and I don't want to rely on the keyconfig extension.

i think the file you are looking for is omni.ja that is a jar file in firfox installation directory.
inside that archive you can find at the path /chrome/toolkit/content/global/ a file named platformHTMLBindings.xml that should contain firefox key bindings, but recent firefox versions may have changed the binding system..

Where does Firefox Saves Add-on files on Local Storage?

It might be hard to relate to but VSCode (a code editor) saves all the installed extensions locally in Users folder with the name of .vscode/extensions. Any one can copy the folder and paste it on other system with VSCode installed to have the same extensions (on Windows).
Is there such a folder for Firefox browser add-ons?
I have found the path on windows. [User]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox. There should be three folders each having two extensions related folders where all the extensions are saved.

Location of JetBrains IDEs default keyboard shortcuts

I wanted to write a tool for synchronizing keyboard shortcuts between JetBrains IDEs but I cannot find the default ones. When I customize them in the IDE, a new folder keymaps is created under .tool\config which contains only the customized assignment.
However, I need to first compare the original schemes to find differences and to merge them eventually. But I cannot find them anywhere.
I looked for various *.xml files with the content like shift or ctrl or keyboard-shortcut, no results.
Do you know where they are hidden?
Check IDE_INSTALL_FOLDER/lib/resources.jar file (it's an ordinary ZIP archive).
All bundled keymaps will be located in keymaps folder inside that archive.

Force Firefox not to change file extension?

Is it possible to force Firefox not to change the file extension of a file the user downloads? Currently I have the problem that I have a .reg file to download, but Firefox, even though in the Download dialog it says "Text file (*.reg)", saves it as a .reg.txt file, which is highly annoying. How to fix this?
You could try to do the following things:
1.) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file
Maybe extension (in your case .reg) is associated with Notepad and you could changed it in Options/Applications
a) Click the menu button and choose Options.
b) Select the Applications panel.
c) The Applications panel will display. Select the type of file for which you want to change the default action.
2.) https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=511624
This is an old bug, but if you use the affected version of firefox...
When you right click on a link to a batch file and click save as, it will allow you to save it, but it automatically adds .txt to the end of the filename without informing you.
You are unable to save it as .bat
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on a batch file link
2.Click save as
3.Save it
Actual Results:
filename is file.bat.txt
Seems to be a Firefox on Windows bug. My coworker was implementing download of .reg files and I use Firefox, I tested for him and got a .reg.txt. Just renaming it after download was sufficient to make the .reg work, but I got curious if that would happen on Linux also.
Grabbed my laptop where I have Ubuntu installed and the file was downloaded with the correct extension (just didn't run because .reg is a windows extension, it did open in the text editor). It was not automatically renamed as a .txt.

Firefox extension dissapears from extensions folder

I'm trying to develop a Firefox extension. I've created a new profile, and I copy the folder of my extension to the extensions folder, with Firefox not running. When I run Firefox, I see how the folder of my extension disappears from the extensions folder, and Firefox opens without the extension. I've also tried to make a link, a text file called exactly same than the extension's em:id, with the path of the folder inside. However, the same thing happens every time - the file disappears when starting Firefox. I'm working on Firefox 14, Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
You need to first install the extension into firefox. For that, make xpi file of your source, install it to firefox and restart it. Once the extension is installed, you can start editing source files inside the extension folder. Before making the xpi, make sure that your install.rdf have <em:unpack>true</em:unpack> to force firefox to unpack your xpi. Unpacking is not recommended and may cause performance issues.
My preferred method is to use Firefox extension proxy file where you can keep your source code anywhere and still enjoy the same benefit.

Safari for Windows - disable certain plug-ins

I just can't find a way of doing this - in Safari for Windows (5.1.7) I would like to disable certain plug-ins, but I can only see how to disable them all (from Preferences/Security-> Enable Plugins) - can I not switch them on and off individually?
I have read about physically deleting files from a Safari folder within Windows Explorer but I'm not convinced about this (and there are no files in there that match what I am trying to disable anyway).
Thanks in advance.
The only way to get rid of individual plugins in Safari is to physically delete (or move them to another folder) from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\Plugins folder.
If you say you've already checked and what you're looking for is not in that folder, are you it's a plugin and not an extension? You should be able to manage extensions individually in the preferences option within Safari.
If your plug-in doesn't appear in the folder, it shouldn't load anyways. If you can't find it there and it does load, I think your best option would be to uninstall and re-install Safari.
Sorry if this doesn't help.
