Dear Yong Wu, thanks for the answer. I do have the ~/.mozilla/moblin-web-browser directory. I did try also from the about:config page, I set manually the tab bar autoHide to TRUE and the bar disappear, then if I close and restart the web browser it is still disabled, but if I restart moblin the tab bar appears again and the option is set to FALSE again.. :( why does this happens after reboot? can the problem be due to the fact I installed moblin on a SD card and it is running from it? don't think so but who knows..
should I report this to bugzilla? thanks again for helping me bye! ps. could not try the localstore.rdf stuff as I can not find the profiles directory.. 2009/12/2 Wu, Yong <[email protected]> > On Mon, 2009-11-30 at 23:59 +0800 Roby wrote: > >Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:19:53 +0100 > >From: Roby <[email protected]> > >To: [email protected] > >Subject: [Moblin Dev] Improve Moblin Web Browser > >Message-ID: > > <[email protected]> > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > > >Hi all, > >it was not easy at all for me to understand how to properly post > >impressions/suggestions/comments and so on about moblin..
