Delicious – Make “Do Not Share” Selected by Default

If you use the official Delicious plugin for firefox, then you may have noticed that when you bookmark a page, the “do not share” checkbox is not selected by default – even if you set your account as private.

This might be annoying if you don’t want to share every page you bookmark with the world, but you want to share only specific pages instead – you might want to do this, for example, for sharing only high-quality pages instead of every “maybe interesting” page.

Anyway, in order to change the default behavior, so the “do not checkbox” is selected by default, do the following:

In the URI type

about:config

Click the funny button “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.

Right click anywhere in the page, and select: New -> Integer.

As the preference name enter this:

extensions.ybookmarks@yahoo.sharemode

And as the value, insert 1.

That’s it, try now to bookmark a new page and you should find the checkbox selected ;)

Update: Another method for doing this is using a bookmarklet with javascript code. You can find it at silverjuke (Thanks to @Silverjuke)
