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.
Hello,
I have something of a difficult situation : our company has a webserver in a remote data center that's, at the moment, only accessible by SSH and the firewall is not easily modifiable because the techs at the data center are unreliable and unreachable lately (not my choice of data center, and switching is not an option at the moment). Are there any browsers or plugins out there that will let me browse over an SSH connection ? I can browse with links and lynx on the SSH command line, but that doesn't give me access to various functionality I need, and it's too hard to find things in the web application running on a Tomcat server on the box that I need access to. Does anybody have any suggestions ? We're already working on getting direct access to the web application by having the firewall opened up, but I need something better in the mean time.
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?
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)
Chromium/Chrome: the interesting work by quinn slack http://qslack.com/2011/04/tls-srp-in-chrome-announcement/

Any other help?
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
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.
How to change the window title of private browsing option in Firefox? When I use the private browsing option it shows up in the title as Private Browsing, is there a mechanism to prevent not showing that information, but still be in private browsing mode.

Nothing seems to work. See screenshot below:

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?
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?
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
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 ?
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?
If I'm using Opera with the Opera Turbo feature turned on (always, not set to "automaticly"). Can anyone see what sites I'm visiting (except Opera of course ...)? Opera Turbo uses a proxy server, so it should be that way, but as a not very technical person I'm not sure.
Why do I want this? Well: nowadays, at least in my country, more and more (legal) open Wi-Fi connections are available. In those environments I like to have more privacy protections. I don't mind if they can see my IP address, but I just want to hide as much as I can of what I am doing.
BTW: I don't care that they can see the data transferred; it doesn't have to be that secret. I only want to hide the requested Internet site links.
BTW: I know that Opera Turbo only works with non-secure websites (HTTP), but that's fine for me. I only want it to work with these sites.
BTW: I'm not need this for illegal purposes; I only want this for privacy reasons.
With ICANN approving the first full Internationalised Domain Names for non-latin scripts such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc do all browsers support these character sets out of the box?
I want to clear only JavaScript files from my web browsers (Firefox and Chrome). I am doing JavaScript debugging, and it's annoying that my JS just won't get updated whenever I change my JS files. The only thing I can do now is to clear my cookies, but doing that erases all of my browsing history.
How can I clear/refresh the JavaScript files that have been loaded into my browsers without clearing out other files?
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?
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?
I am researching this question for a possible paper. Given the exploitation of user identities for risk management and market tracking, how easy is it to alter a browser enough to throw off fingerprinting techniques?

I would like to know is it possible to save some, for example,simplemath.js file with
function ADD(a, b)
{
return a + b;
}
simple function, run opera's or some other browser's javascript console, include somehow this (simplemath.js) file, call ADD(2, 5), and get a result in console or execute javascript code on current web page and manipulate with it's content. How can I do that? How can I use javascript functions from external files in web-browser's javascript console?
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!
Hello,
In the beginning Google Chrome seemed fine but recently its been crashing too many times. I want to move back to Firefox.
I really love the way Google Chrome syncs bookmarks to 'Google Docs'. Is there any extension which gives this functionality in firefox?
