====== Firefox tweaks ======

===== Browser back button behaviour =====
There is an option in Firefox, hidden in ''about:config''
browser.backspace_action :\\
0 : go back one page (the default on Windows)\\
1 : scroll up (the default on linux before 2006-12-07)\\
2 : do nothing (the default on linux after 2006-12-07)\\

===== Enable HTML5 video player on BBC website =====
For whatever reason, the BBC website defaults to flash for videos and displays an error message to install it when disabled, even though they have a usable HTML5 player they use for mobile devices. So, desktop browsers will have to pretend to be a mobile by changing the User-Agent string. Firefox removed options for site-specific strings, but addons are available to do this\\
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/uacontrol/ \\
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-js-fixer/?src=search \\
Set the user agent to the following and limit it to the BBC News website
<code>Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4.4; en-us; Nexus 5 Build/JOP40D) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/42.0.2307.2 Mobile Safari/537.36</code>

===== Disable Pocket =====

Go to ''about:config'', search for pocket and set the following settings to false:\\

<code>
extensions.pocket.onSaveRecs=false
extensions.pocket.enabled=false
extensions.pocket.showHome=false
</code>
