How to disable the annoying “This web site does not supply identity information” pop-up

Posted on May 7, 2009

Have you ever wonder if it’s possible to turn off the “this website does not supply identity information” notification while dragging pages to the bookmark bar/folder into Firefox internet browser? The answer is YES. It’s possible!

Following my method you will disable all toolbar tips, including this message.
For this open Firefox and follow the next steps:
1. Type “about:config” in the address bar and hit Enter.
2. Locate and double-click on browser.chrome.toolbar_tips
You’ll see that on Double-click you set it to false.

This will disable that annoying Firefox message: “This web site does not supply identity information” pop-up when you try to drag a url into a bookmarked folder.
Where is my beer?!? :))

Hey you Smoozi-Noozi,
this is Ken.

What you read is a Computer Tech Blog. Sounds like a Technobuble Boogeyman but is not that technically (I want it to be). Sure thing it might be helpful if you know something about web developing as I am also writing about CSS, (X)HTML, JavaScript and other "non-friendly" things.

I'm not selling and buying anything here. Nor you. Be smart.

- Ken: Efusien, is just a matter of personal preferences the way you name DIVs. But, yes, there are a couple of names you will find pretty much in any style sheet like: #header, #content, #footer, #sidebar and maybe even more. You've got a good point with the idea of simplifying the name like ct...
- efusien: Hi, what about div's names shortcuts : 1) Can we improve performances by using "ct" instead of "content" ? Is there a limit to cut a name ? ie: At a first reading, I understand "content" but not "ct". In other hand, with "ct" we have less html and css (file weight). 2) Have you list most popular d...
