Description

I get this error when I right-click and select Copy link to clipboard.

"This feature requires 'signed.applets.codebase_principal_support=true' at about:config"

I do not know in which file to make the necessary change!

Sultan,

This is a setting in Firefox. To change, type "about:config" into the Firefox location bar (no http or anything).

http://www.mozillazine.org/misc/about:config/

You should be able to type codebase_principal_support into the filter field to find it quickly.

From what I see, changing the parameter to "true" is listed as a "security risk." I'm not familiar with what a "signing stage" involves, but could that be resolved in a manner that users are not exposed to any security risks?

From http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=53650

signed.applets.codebase_principal_support

  • Description: this is a preference to be used while developing scripts that need enhanced privileges. It allows potentially security-critical JavaScript to bypass the signing stage (?)
  • Type: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Recommendation: unfortunately setting this to true this is the only working way I'm aware of to selectively grant JavaScript access to the clipboard. The user will still be asked everytime a script/applet requests access to privileges. If you're using this, be sure to only grant access for scripts/hosts you trust, otherwise this can be a huge security risk, because it opens your system to virtually everything (!!!)

Is there anyway we can remove this option from the right click on the file? I can do it here
\sites\all\modules\contrib\webfm\js\webfm.js , but don't really want to hack it in the code. Is there any other option?

I second removing this option.

Attached patch would remove it completely.
