Edit site permissions in Firefox

It used to be simple to edit site permission sin Firefox, you only needed to click the icons on the left of the awesome bar and you would see the connection security (encrypted/unsecured) and the permissions pane with the switches to allow as default, permit or deny.
Currently in Firefox 44.0.2, the Permissions pane only shows you the current permission of the site, not allowing you to edit them. To edit the permissions of the current site you have to:
  1. Click on the icons in the left of the awesome bar, 
  2. Click on the arrow of the panel describing the connections security

  3. Click on the Button "More Information"

  4. Click on the tab "Permissions"
  5. Now you can edit the website permissions
To See and edit permissions to all websites, including the default permissions, you can type
about:permissions in the awesome bar.

xpinstall.signatures.required
Set it it false.

My Firefox tunning

There are a few Firefox option I like, unfortunately sometimes is hard to find what are the knobs to touch to get it set as I like it. Here are the settings that I prefer:
  • Make search open in new tab:
    browser.search.openintab with value true
  • Keep window when closing last tab:
    browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab with value false
  • Single close button for all tabs:
    browser.tabs.closebuttons with value 3 (0- Active tab only, 1 - all tabs, 2 - no close buttons, 3- single at the end of the tab bar)
  • Ask before quitting:
    browser.showQuitWarning with value true
  • Hide default "Inspect Element" when Firebug is installed:
    extensions.firebug.hideDefaultInspector set to true. (The option devtools.inspector.enabled does the same thing)
