== Customization == | |||
The behaviour of the form assistant can be customized using the preferences '''formhelper.mode''' and '''formhelper.autozoom'''. | |||
* The '''formhelper.mode''' preference controls whether the functionality of scrolling and zooming to the focused element, including reposition the caret if appropriate, is enabled. (Note that the selection UI and auto-complete cannot currently be disabled.) The possible values are: | |||
** 0 - Always disable this functionality | |||
** 1 - Always enable this functionality | |||
** 2 - Enable both scrolling and zooming on phones; enable only scrolling on tablets. This is the default. | |||
* The '''formhelper.autozoom''' preference can be used to turn off zooming on phones as well by seting it to false (the default value is true). | |||
* Note that see older '''formhelper.autozoom.caret''' and '''formhelper.restore''' preferences have been removed. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=834613 bug 834613] for details. | |||
