FF Quantum "file:///" [X] Show hidden objects ...defaults ON ???
Using Linux Mint Firefox Quantum ... enter address "file:///home/" All files in the home directory will be listed, along with a click-box titled "show hidden objects" defaulted 'X' as YES.
I want it to default as NO, as I never want anyone to see hidden objects.
This WAS a BUGZILLA problem, reported 12 years ago... 2002 !!! Little info I could find was in "bookmark-applets".

You can hide hidden files with code in userContent.css in the chrome folder in the profile folder.
@-moz-document url-prefix(file://){
#UI_showHidden, .hidden-object {display:none!important}
}

Where were you 12 years ago ???? Thank you. You deserve a good pat-on-the-back !
That .css file worked perfectly after re-starting FF. No more hidden files.
I'll admit, it took me forever to wade through the reference material at mo-zine.. Reading that stuff reminds me of the IRS tax instructions; re-redundant, with linked redundancies. ;>)
Set your file mangler to view hidden files, then go to your Firefox folder, like: /home/your?name/.mozilla/firefox/ click into: your?profile.default Create a new folder: chrome Click into: chrome Create a new "text" file: userContent.css Edit the new file: (copy & paste cor-el's 3-lines-of-code) Re-start Firefox.
Thanks again.
