Hello,
On recently upgraded machines (Jaunty-Karmic) and newly installed Karmic machines (they come with FireFox 3.5.4 I believe) I am noticing this "ubuntu firefox modifications" addon. What exactly is this addon? What does it do? Any bad effects of disabling it? And finally, how to purge this from the systems.
Thanks.
I am doing a new install of Firefox and over the years my Windows "roaming folder" I use for backup has gotten all clogged up from so many add-ons and crap...
I want to backup just a couple Firefox add-on's, one is "Fast dial" How do I backup this add-on and its addresses for when I reinstall Firefox and the add-on, so It will go back to where it is now?
Most add-on's have a backup feature like "too many tabs" bookmarks and such but fast dial doesn't? so How do I backup this add-on?
and /or addons like it without a backup feature?
Thanks in advance any help or options would be a big help.

I'm using Fluid to handle Gmail, and I'd like to also use the same instance for Wave in another tab. How do I get it to open both Gmail and Wave when the application initially opens. I tried using | as a delimiter in the homepage field like Firefox uses, but it didn't work.
I leave Adblock turned on for all sites by default. I allow ads on some sites. You can do this by adding an exception for a site that is allowed to show ads. This puts a site in the white list.
However, I do not know how to allow most ads on a page, but block a specific ad. I am not even sure Adblock will do this. I believe it is all or none. If a site is in the white list, it appears that all other rules are ignored.
Is there a way to allow most ads on a website, but still block specific ads?
Every page I try to go to in chrome says "This webpage is not available" but websites work fine in other browsers.
I recently installed http://www.getwindmill.com/ just to experiment. I think my problem has to do with proxy settings.
I recently discovered iTunes U and have been downloading a number of lectures, but I'd like to find more stuff in areas I'm interested in and iTunes U seems to want none of it.
When I select a category of content to choose from - let's say Science - Physics - the only choices for browsing I seem to have are "Featured" and "New and Notable." I've looked around online and discovered that even the "See All" for these sections only shows a subsection of the entire collection for that category. There doesn't seem to be a regular "Browse" option like you would expect to find in such an application.
Or is there? Does anyone here know if there is such a feature and, if so, where I can find it?
On Firefox, I use the extension Firegestures.
A while ago, I tested a few ones for Google Chrome, but they were all very buggy, poor in term of features or Windows-only (I'm on GNU/Linux). Now there seems to be a lot of extensions for this.
Which one is the closest to Firefox's Firegestures ?
Try visiting:

tried in chrome and firefox.
Is this a bug in Youtube or the way browsers are constructed?
what is the reason for the continuous reloads of the page?
hi all,
i've been struggling with this for a while now: i can't install greasemonkey on my firefox portable 3.5.5 :( it must be something with the latest update to 3.5.5.
(i'm having win7 x64 ultimate)
upgrading greasemonkey didn't work so i completely de-installed it and then tried (no success):
installing greasemonkey via addons-dialog
installing .xpi manually
installing with "restart firefox" button
installing by quitting + restarting firefox
it simply just won't install / show up under addons.
of course i de-activated all other plugins and started firefox as administrator.
any ideas?
thx
Hi everyone,
I'd like to view web pages as text only on occasion, without images or fancy css backgrounds appearing. Are there any Mozilla or IE plugins that allow this? I've used Readability, and it's not bad but it still downloads pictures.
Just wondering what's out there. Thanks!
Few days ago, I click on Most Visited, right click Facebook and select Forget about this site. Of course, all of my history, bookmarks and 6 saved passwords are gone
Yesterday, I installed LassPass add-on, and only import Firefox saved password
When I open Firefox, goto Facebook, all of my 6 password are appeared
So, my question is, when I select Forget about this site, did Firefox remove my passwords completely?
i'm doing some research on how browsers support TLS-SRP (RFC5054).
I know that TLS-SRP is implemented in GnuTLS, OpenSSL as of release 1.0.1, Apache mod_gnutls, cURL, TLS Lite and SecureBlackbox.
I don't find any fresh source of information, only this from 2011: http://sim.ivi.co/2011/07/compare-tls-cipher-suites-for-web.html
I'm testing them manually at the moment, but as far as i know nobody seems to support it.
My interest is then in understanding if browsers are planning to support these ciphersuites in the future, apart from the current state.
Actual findings (i'm sorry i can't include more than 2 links):
Firefox: BugZilla bug id: 405155
IE: Microsoft connect Bug ID:788412 , date:22/05/2013 (closed)

Any other help?
Ever since Google implemented their new look at the beginning of May, I have been having trouble with their search engine changing all of the spaces in my query to plus signs. This behavior occurs when I use the search box in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
For example, if I search for google search plus signs I am taken to the following URL, where google+search+plus+signs is in the search box.
http://www.google.com/search?q=google+search+plus+signs&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
However if I perform the search from google.com, I get taken to a different URL with google search plus signs as I'd expect:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=google+search+plus+signs&aq=f&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=d2a3ca21987adb1
Do I need to update my browsers or something?
I don't want task scheduler or whatever to wake the computer, but when I open the laptop back up and the machine wakes I'd like that to be the trigger that task scheduler or something uses to run an app.
I've tried reinstalling, updating, and removing and then reinstalling.
Nothing seems to work. See screenshot below:
the output of gedit /home/skynet/.tor-browser-en/LOG (The installation log) is:
/usr/bin/tor-browser-en.sh: Your version in /home/skynet/.tor-browser-en is outdated or you do not have installed tor-browser-en yet.

I have a very specific question, which I have not been able to find the solution
I want to search Superuser and other websites using Google, but I want to limit it to a specific subject (e.g. the R programming language). Using Superuser paths for specific topics like
"site:http://superuser.com/questions/tagged/r"
Does not work, as can be seen when comparing searching using full path
compared to searching entire website with more specific question. Also note the first hit being one step in the direction i want, but since this path itself does not hold the questions in its path it does not solve my issue.
There should however be a better way to do this, e.g. by having a very specific Google search tag for the R programming language, which would have to be either in the path, on the webpage, or tagged differently. Seeing as Superuser has a good tag system I am optimistic that this can be used to solve my question.
Is there a solution to this that always works on Superuser and similar sites?
How do I prevent Opera from switching over to the tab I opened when I click on 'Open in new tab'? This feature of Opera is driving me nuts! Is there a setting or something that I can change so that the focus remains on the current tab?
My PC at work is connected to 2 networks;
LAN: local corporate network for remote desktop access and very slow internet connection
WAN: wireless faster internet browsing
Is there a way to setup the default/preferred network adapter for the internet browsing?
I am getting dozens of 404 errors on my site that are requests for gif's with apparently random names, like 4273uaqa.gif and 5pwowlag.gif.
I see that most of them are coming from one user. I assume something is happening in the background on her machine without her knowledge. I assume it's a malware thing on the client.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Would love to advise my customer that s/he has an issue. I'd also like to stop getting these 404 reports. :)
I have a new Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine. I have set up an XPMode Virtual Machine and installed SQL 2008.
I am now trying to successfully create an ODBC data source linking to the SQL 2008 installation. I can go through the wizard but 'Test Connection' fails.
SQL Server is shared and available to all users.
Can the Firefox password manager store and manage passwords for multiple sub-domains, or for multiple URLs in the same domain? The default behavior of Firefox is that all requests for *.domain.com are treated as the same. I'd like to have Firefox do the following:
Store and manage passwords separately for multiple sub-domains, e.g. mail.google.com and picasa.google.com
Store and manage passwords separately for different URLs in the same domain, e.g. http://mail.google.com/a/company1.com and http://mail.google.com/a/company2.com
