Changing the default setting for del.icio.us bookmarks app to Do Not Share

When I tag a page using del.icio.us, I always have to click “do not share” if I don’t want the link showing up on facebook and elsewhere. Annoying!

This can be changed.

Open firefox. Type in

about:config

into the address bar. Right click anywhere on the page. From the menu that appears, select New->Interger.

It will ask for a name of the new preference. Enter:

extensions.ybookmarks@yahoo.sharemode

It will ask for a value next. Type

1

That’s it! Now the delicious app will default to having the “Do Not Share” option selected. I really wish they made this more straight forward.
