Browser.microsummary.updateGenerators

Background

Firefox 2.0 introduced Microsummaries for bookmarks — a way to extract a bit of information from a web page and display it in the bookmark’s title. In Firefox 3, microsummaries can be automatically updated to reflect changes to web site designs. This preference determines whether to periodically check for updates to microsummary generators.

Possible values and their effects

True

Periodically check for updates to microsummary generators. (Default)

False

Do not update microsummary generators.
