Setting Up ProCon
If you have previously installed ProCon (versions 1.0 or 1.1 or
1.2) you need to click the "Remove all settings" button found under
the "Help" tab in the ProCon extension settings. This will make
sure you're running the right configurations for the current
version of ProCon.

How do I hide ProCon from the
"Extensions" list?
To hide ProCon from the "Extensions" list you have to manually mess
around with some code. If you are willing to proceed, take note
that I am not responsible. Period.
*Step 1 - Locate your profile folder
- On Windows XP/2000, the path is usually
%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\,
where xxxxxxxx is a random string of 8 characters. Just
browse to C:\Documents and Settings\[User
Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and
the rest should be obvious.
- On Windows 95/98/Me, the path is usually
C:\WINDOWS\Application
Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\
- On Linux, the path is usually
~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/
- On Mac OS X, the path is usually
~/Library/Application
Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/
%AppData% is a
shorthand for the Application Data path on Windows 2000/XP. To use
it, click Start > Run..., enter
%AppData% and press Enter. You
will be taken to the "real" folder, which is normally
C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application
Data.
*Step 2 - Locate extensions.rdf and open it with
some text editor (I reccomend Notepad++)
*Step 3 - Locate RDF:Description
RDF:about="urn:mozilla:item:{9D6218B8-03C7-4b91-AA43-680B305DD35C}",
and :
- remove:
NS1:installLocation="app-profile"
- and paste,
- to HIDE ProCon completely:
NS1:installLocation="app-global"
NS1:hidden="true"
- to LOCK ProCon:
NS1:installLocation="app-global"
NS1:locked="true"

| General Tips |
|
Is there a way to block all the
sites except for certain ones?
Yes. You can simply check the "Block All Traffic" box, under the
"Edit Filter" tab; then if you want to exclude one or more sites
from being blocked enable the "Whitelist" feature and input the
sites you don't want to be blocked (ex. www.disney.com would be
written as "disney") and one site per line.

The extension does not work
(empty lists, problem with word censor feature, every page is
blocked, other...) what can I do?
Simply head to the "Help" tab, click "Remove all settings",
confirm, close ProCon, uninstall it, close all Firefox windows and
re-install ProCon properly.

I have sent you an email asking
for support but never received an answer.
As I said, I will not answer any kind of question regarding
material which is found on this page. Emails regarding the password
and the reset things will be automatically deleted.
