Debian :: Iceweasel - New Single Button Menu From FF4
May 23, 2011
So I'm using Iceweasel 4 from the mozilla.debian.net repos. I recently upgraded a friend's computer from Windows Vista to Debian Linux. I went over to his house to chill and hopped on his computer to check my Facebook and noticed that his Iceweasel has the Firefox 4 single menu button at the top left of the window. He's not a tech-savvy user so he probably enabled this feature by accident, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. He's using the same version of Iceweasel as myself by the way.
While searching the net I found how to complete disable the functionality of the middle mouse button but I need this button for many other uses.I want to disable only it's paste action.
I've just installed Ubuntu and noticed that there are two tool bars.The one at the top says applications, places, system and then there is also one at the bottom.Is it possible to have just a single toolbar that has a "start button", "quick launch icons" and open applications?
just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.
My System Specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Western Digital 250 GB Hard Drive Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22) (Used Desktop Install CD)
you know how like lxpanel/fbpanel have a menu button that displays the system menu,etcHow would I add a menu buttuon to wbar in karmic/squeeze/sid?I downloaded and perused the source,etc of all three, lxpanel, fbpanel, etc but cant figure out how it works as it does for other "panels"
When I download a file, lets say text file I want it to open straight away in iceweseal.So in the "open With" dialog box if I choose iceweseal it is not opening the file in it. It just downloads the text file.
I really like to add some items under mouse right button menu. For example when i right-click on the desktop i like to have as first entry "open konsole".
I was using lucid since beta 2 without problems, but since few days I can't get a menu when I click on the right mouse button. Doesn't work on the desktop or when for example I want to rename a file using the right mouse button. Is this a bug from gnome or a new properties?
I'm slightly puzzled trying to change the icon on my single "gnome main menu" button. I've added it to a panel and gone to gconf-editor aps>panel and there is no objects folder on my home pc (which is a installed version of 9.10). In work I do the same steps on an install of 8.04 and it works fine. The only difference I can think of is on 8.04. I add the menu to the bottom panel that ubuntu has by default and at home its a panel I've added. I cant get a custom icon for my main menu in 9.10!
I've switched my non-maximized window button locations back over to the right with gconf-editor but i'd like to change the global menu buttons over to the right as well.I've had 20 odd years working that way. I can't seem to find an option in gconf-editor and if google has the answer I'm not using the correct search terms.
I am using ubuntu 11.04 and I moved the maximize, minimize and close buttons to the right corner using gconf-editor besides that, I added the menu button to the left corner that's the one which is causing problems.
Whenever I click it, all window decorations (meaning borders) disappear.
I end up with two options, either logging out and back into ubuntu, what restarts all programs (as well as compiz as far as I understand) and the problem is gone (at least temporarily) the other nonpermanent fix is to disable and reenable window decorations in the compizconfig settings manager, the result of that action is not really a fix, since it leaves my top panel (which is usually transparent) completely scrambled
I'm running Slackware 13.37 with XFCE. I'm trying to increase the menu button size. I remember having succeeded in doing this with XFCE 4.2, but I unfortunately forgot to write down how I did that.
I am running Debian testing on my box and iceweasel 5 with several addons. My question is the following: is there a way to export above all my addons settings to a file? I would like to be able to install on another debian machine the same iceweasel 5 and have the same addons installed (if I could have even the same toolbar it would be dream) automatically.
just click the [Computer] button at the left-bottom corner of the GNome desktop, the menu will shown, now press the printscreen button [PrtSc], nothing happen. no screenshot was made.or open any application , then click the menu like [file], let the menu list shown, then press [PrtSc] button, same thing, nothing happen.
I've been using this feature since Win3.1 days. Double-click the menu button on the top-left of the window to close it.It doesn't work for me right now in KDE, and I can't find any option to enable it. Googling gave a few hits of people requesting this feature in gnome, but no clear instructions on how to enable it in KDE or whether it's possible. (Though perhaps my Google-fu is just weak...)
how can I stop selecting items in menus on mouse button release? Sometimes I open a menu and move the mouse slightly before releasing it and I accidently select the item on the menu, which is annoying.
I've been wondering what's the advantages and disadvantages of installing an iceweasel extension from the debian repositories vs the addons.mozilla.org website. I can thus far see that extensions installed from the repositories can't be uninstalled from inside iceweasel. Is there any difference? Are they installed in different places? Are they always accessible to all users? Any difference at all?
i have a problem with th home folder button. When I click the button from the drop down ''PLACES'' menu i get this "Error File not found'' but if i go to places>computer>home folder, then it opens. If i type in ''CWD" i get this "/home/piepie''.so the home folder does exist, and if i type /home/piepie is a directory.
Until recently I had no trouble reading PDF files in Iceweasel. Acrobat Reader would open without prompting. Now, after a recent re-install of Jessie, that does not happen. The browser just freezes when I point it to a PDF file. Reader is installed and shows up among Iceweasel's add-ons.
I just installed Debian on a new computer yesterday, it's more or less a fresh install. This morning I launched Iceweasel and it brought my computer to it's knees. I ran top, and found out that there was a process called "Web Content" using up 30 gigs of memory! Further experimentation shows that Iceweasel is fine until I open up a tab or two, and then it quickly begins consuming all my memory (I have 24 gigs) and swap space. I'm currently using Chrome, which is working fine, but I'd really prefer Iceweasel.
I mean, I followed the http://mozilla.debian.net/ wizard, but I have a problem about I don't have xulrunner-2.0, but I need libcairo2, but I have at the last version(saying apt-get install libcairo2).So is there a way to install Iceweasel 4?Sorry for my not perfect english, and if you want more info, just ask me [URL]
A few days ago, I noticed that flash wasn't working. I don't use flash often and have Flashblock guarding the gates so not quite sure when that happened. In the process of getting it running again I noticed a lot of Iceweasel add-ons are available in the Debian repos. In fact, deleting Flashblock from Firefox and switching to the one from the repos may be what fixed the problem (or it could have been the latest Iceweasel update which I reinstalled).
Anyway, my question is . . . just how do add-ons available via Synaptic and those from Firefox differ? And is it preferable and advisable to use the ones in Synaptic? Since I imported my old profile from Firefox to Iceweasel, I have a lot of standard add-ons rather than the Debian version.
I have Inceweasel 31.8.0 installed on LXDE Debian Wheezy and I am trying to make AdBlock Plus work. The thing is that I get pop-ups from any site, Youtube ad videos, etc. all the time, just like I have nothing installed to prevent that.
I tried:
- Installing AdBlock from Iceweasel add-ons, with a suscription to easylist ; - installing xul-ext-adblock-plus (also with the same suscription).
With each configuration or even with none of them, I get the same results as described above. Is there anything I can do ?
By the way, I don't get Youtube ad videos on Chromium with Adblock installed through the Chrome webstore.
I have Iceweasel 38.6.0 on Jessie 8.3, and it seems to crash more or less randomly. It just suddenly disappears, and when restarted, it gives that "embarrasing"- thing. The pages reopen fine and it may take a day between crashes, or about an hour.
Where should I look for the reason of the crashing? Is there a log file or something somewhere?
My machine is old StinkBad T400. I'm using Cinnamon.
The following url streams nicely in Chromium but Iceweasel complains that FlashPlayer needs to be installed!
[URL] ...
############------- EDIT -------############ This URL is a live stream of a news channel... NOT a fixed length/size video. ############------- EDIT -------############
I can't remember facing this problem with any other YouTube videos, just this one!
Searching around a bit I found an article from 2010 : [URL] ....
First interesting bit: If you're running Chrome or Safari as your main browser, Google's now offering up YouTube videos without Flash.
That's right—fewer system hangs, browser crashes, and other issues, and just straight-up video through HTML5 standards.
When I try to open two times Iceweasel I get this:Iceweasel is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Iceweasel process, or restart your system.I am very suprprised, because in Windows xp I can open mozilla firefox 2,3 or more times.
