DB2 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Deleting a Firefox browser profile

After you have run the DB2 Setup wizard or DB2® First Steps, you might want to delete the browser profile to prevent JavaScript from running automatically when visiting other Web pages with this profile.

About this task

If you use this profile to view other Web pages that have JavaScript, the JavaScript will run automatically without warnings.

If you use Firefox as your Web browser, a browser profile is created when you run DB2 First Steps. If you agree, a browser profile named DB2_FIRSTSTEPS is created.
