How to change default class name of the Firefox Window Class from "MozillaWindowClass" to other for example "DMoz"? Which option of about:cofig? Possibility of changing it shall prevent part of attacks for example closing all Firefox windows.

This option was present in older versions but this setting was hidden or removed. It was used by me but I can't remember its name.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Hi, as far as I can tell, the preference `ui.window_class_override` is still present and is the one you want.

I doubt there would be attacks such as closing all Firefox windows, but if you know of any like that, please report it to our security team for investigation.

Standard8, thank you. It resolved my problem. It means: the old versions of Firefox have entered default value MozillaWindowClass but newer version (45.3) has empty character string in this place.

Possible attacks: FindWindow with first parameter set to " MozillaWindowClass" and second NULL. ShowWindow with second parameter 0 or SetParent with second parameter HWND(-3).
