New to FireFox, quick question:

Falashmura · 03-16-2006, 05:05 AM

Hi, I am trying to set up FireFox so my kids can use it. The thing is, I don't want them to be able to see images at all. I've disabled it in content, and I don't think they will be able to figure it out. but, when right clicking on an image place holder, there is an option to display the image. is there a way to make it go away? thanks.

Install the extension Menu Editor. To access it after restarting click tools>extensions>Menu Editor>options>main context menu.

Great. thanks.

Oh no! now i've really done it! I installed the plugin as suggested. but somehow, now I don't see my Tools-->extensions menu anymore, "options" is not there anymore as well - how do I get them back?

You can change the Tools menu as well, check that you haven't disabled them.

I want to, but I can't. Because I don't see the "Extensions" menu anymore... where to now?

Crtl+Shift+E.

Doesn't do the trick...

Are you using the latest Firefox v1.5.0.1? If you are then you may have to reinstall it, and then remove that option the hard way. Also, I'm not have any problems with that extension (although some can cause problems).

Backup your profiles and bookmarks using MozBackup. Reinstall Firefox and run MozBackup again to restore your backups, then try installing Menu Editor again.

If you've installed it correctly and it's working, you can get to the Menu Editor options in Tools > Customize Menus (Ctrl+Shift+S)

Thanks all. I will re-install and go for it again.
