Jul 28, 2010After spending what seems like an eternity trying to learn how to host a couple of webpages on my laptop for no better reason than to practice creating them without paying for a server. .for the time being, I kept getting the usual errors (stuff I have seen lots of tutorials on) and this time kept getting

Ubuntu :: Localhost - Asking For Username And A Password When Start Firefox
Oct 26, 2010When I start firefox the first thing it does is asking a username and a password. Very strange. Other browsers do not do this authomatically, but they do if i type localhost in the adressbar. I'm using ubuntu10.04, and firefox 3.6.11. At the very beginning I thought that there was some problem with TOR, since the problem first appeared one day I turned it on (I had used it before, without having any problem). Now I've completely uninstalled TOR, but the problem is still there.

Ubuntu Servers :: Firefox Can't Open Php File From Apache2 On Localhost
Mar 31, 2010I've just moved on to 10.04 from 9.10. The program worked fine in 9.10. I *may* have overwritteen a conf file in the upgrade...
I now get the error as below:
My userdir.conf is like this:
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir public_html
UserDir disabled root

and I have the PHP5 module installed. I vaguely recall that I may have had PHP4 installed - would the upgrade have removed it? Is there anywhere I can get it from to try? Anything else to do?

Jan 10, 2010i am wanting to use Firefox to connect to my smb shares. However, i keep getting this error message: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (smb) isn't associated with any program. My client configuration is as follows: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100106 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Shiretoko/3.5.8preI tried the instructions below to try and fix the problem with no success: Quote: From [URL]
Linux with Firefox In order to connect to a network share directly from you browser under Linux, you must configure Firefox to handle URL's starting with "smb://". This is done by typing "about:config" in the address line and hitting return. After that you must right-click the list of settings and choose "New -> Boolean" as shown below.
As name you must type: "network.protocol-handler.external.smb" with a value of "true". After that you must do the same thing over again, but this time choose "New -> String", type the name: "network.protocol-handler.app.smb" with a value of the path to the application you wish to use for browsing network shares. If you use KDE, this will typically be "/usr/bin/konqueror".

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Firefox 3.5.7 (ubuntuzilla Upgrade) Does Not Fully Quit / Crashes Firefox
Jan 9, 2010I recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
