Foxmarks: Changing a Keyboard Shortcut

Posted on 12/02/2008 by Colin

So I recently installed the very interesting Foxmarks add-on (plugin) for Firefox, in the hopes of syncing my bookmarks between my home and work computers. Things worked awesome, with one exception: my beloved Shift-Cmd-F keyboard shortcut for another Firefox extension (the absolutely ESSENTIAL Web Developer Toolbar) was being overwritten with one that opened up my Foxmarks settings.

It's not too hard to change, though: I just needed to edit a file:

sudo vim ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/tpatfdag.default/extensions/foxmarks@kei.com/defaults/preferences/prefs.js

The precise location may vary for you, but if you're on a Mac as I am you can just do a locate Firefox and grep through the results until you find what you're looking for.

The offending line was here:

pref("foxmarks.shortcut.OpenSettings", "f");

which I changed to:

pref("foxmarks.shortcut.OpenSettings", "z");

since I don't use Shift-Cmd-Z for anything.

Hope this helps someone!

Thank's, I've used your tip to change the shortcut on my machine. By the way - another often used Ff-Extension is no-script. A little hint that the comment functionality needs javascript to work would be welcome.

For Windows users, the file is located here:

C:\Documents and Settings{user}\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gvaouc7m.default\extensions\foxmarks@kei.com\defaults\preferences

Make sure to replace {user} with the Windows user you're editing for.

Thanks for the tip. The path to the prefs.js file on my Mac was: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/e70k5cxs.default/extensions/foxmarks\@kei.com/defaults/preferences/prefs.js
