i am doing a lot of testing from localhost using selenium inside of eclipse. every time i start a debug session and click on a page, i get the geo location popup. setting geo.enabled to false does not stick. it reverts back on every session i start.

how to i get my preference settings to stick?

while this probably would solve the problem for most users, it's not working for me. i'm going to close this out and create a different problem thread that relates directly to selenium.

thanks!

that didn't work. there's something about launching a selenium script that causes the opened pages to have prefs set to default.
