I generally have a “home” Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to “lose” it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

After reading the parent comment, I [think I] finally understand what you’re on about.
There’s no reason to suspect the “recently bookmarked” list would be tracked; that’s just downright paranoid.
Here’s how to disable it.
Yeah, the only options are to boolean, number or string. There is no option for a true/false like when I’ve used this technique before. There are no right click options to do anything but delete on windows.
Thanks anyway.
“Boolean” is true/false.
It’s not working again, lol. So weird, I just double checked that it said false and it completely saves my bookmarked history. I don’t know why it’s so tenacious.
Try changing the capitalization or using “0” instead of false or something. Otherwise, I give up and you should ask for help in a Mozilla forum or chatroom.
I’ll try mozilla but I doubt they’ll answer, that’s where I saw the question for the same thing from the other dude. Thanks again for trying to help.
Had no idea, boolean is a totally different thing in 3d software. It’s where you remove something from another something or combine.
Edit: It doesn’t delete the old ones and I have to restart the session for them not to save. It’s a strange deal, not sure why they make it so hard to do when most people don’t even know it’s there.
Nah, it’s exactly the same thing. 3D software is just applying a Boolean function to two sets of points at the same time, instead of one scaler piece of data like reading a setting.
In other words, Firefox is doing f(a), where f is a unary Boolean function (identity or negation) and a is a single true/false value, while your 3D software is doing f(A, B), where f is a binary Boolean function (union a.k.a. AND, intersection a.k.a. OR, etc.) and A and B are vectors of true/false values representing whether particular points of space are contained within object A or B respectively.
(Some 3D software might be more sophisticated than that, using mathematical expressions of the object boundaries to get exact answers instead of interpolating between points, but I’m just trying to convey the basic concept here.)
I appreciate the effort to explain it but dude, that’s all totally foreign to me. You guys literally speak different languages. I learn the software and make it do what I want with the names they give me. I’ll learn enough to be dangerous if something really goes wrong and I would never touch the about:config unless someone told me exactly how to do it. I’m a software user kind of person but glad people who know their shit like you exist or there would be no software to use. On just the software side, it changes so fast or I have to use a different one that I retain just enough to get the work done on a project and then let it go or I would go crazy. I use a lot of different software, lol.
That’s fair; it’s literally a math/computer science/computer engineering topic.
Personally, I’m of the opinion that more of that sort of thing ought to be taught to everybody in K-12 (because you aren’t really computer literate unless you can automate workflows, if not by “programming” then at least by scripting), but that’s a rant for a different thread.
Anyway, I’m sorry about Firefox not behaving the way you want it to, and hope that it improves for you in the future.
I agree that it probably should be taught but we’re fighting for books not being banned. Strange times.
Thanks for the good luck and trying to help, I’ll have to go to mozilla it looks like.
