Removing ‘ping’ links from Firefox 3.0

How to remove the support for ‘ping’ WHATWG specification crap.

1) Type  about:config in the url, hit enter

2) Click ‘omg stfu’ on the warning that appears (I’ll be careful, promise)

3) type browser.send_pings  in the search filter, at the top. It says true

4) double click the true value, it will say false.

Also, on reddit was a link to a ‘default redirect’ page if a site doesn’t want to support Firefox. (because of adblocker concerns).

Just a) never visit that site again, ever, b) set your browser agent to ‘pwnt’.
