I tried Midori before and it wasn't really good, but I tried it again later (after updates) and I really like it. Just a few questions:How do you block ads, like in Firefox with AdBlock Plus?How to turn on spell checking? I see it has a setting where you are supposed to enter a dictionary (attached), but I don't know where it could be.
View 1 RepliesI would like to know if you guys think this is a safe plugin/extension to use with either Chromium or Firefox.
There is an old page that shows it had security issues in the past.[URL].. Would it be safe to use this or do you think someone could use it to steal my passwords, etc. while browsing?
I went ahead and installed msttcorefonts because I need them for college work. However, when I have them installed, a few sites here and there like Facebook will use the font, but it'll be fuzzy, which is the complete opposite of what the free fonts did for me. I've thought about whether it would be possible to block those fonts in Firefox or only make them available in Libreoffice (the only place where I even need them), but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.

They load a flash from their clients, which I have to kill one by one, but

Perhaps block the name in the DNS?
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 recently started using Network Connect by Juniper on my Fedora 14 laptop. It took a while to get it to work correctly. So, here is the function I made to allow me to use Network Connect quickly.
Code:
NCremote() {
cd /home/bs/.juniper_networks/network_connect;
echo "Signing into somewhere.com"
echo "Rememeber to escape your password!"
read -p "Username: " user
read -p "Password: " pass
java -jar NC.jar -h 123.43.22.11 -u $user -p $pass -f ../somewhere.com.cert -r "Realm Name" &
cd ;}
Important things to note. You will have to export the certificate from the site, you can use firefox to do that. The '-r' parameter requires the *actual* name of the realm you want to authenticate against.
You will also have to run firefox, go to the network connect site, click the button and let it install first. If it doesn't *make sure* that you have ALL adblock addons disabled.
The Adbock extension completely wipes out Yahoo! homepage. I think that is a little over aggresive ad blocking. Does anybody know what whitelist rule that would ?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI got chromium to serve as my faster browser. And due to me being a huge privacy nut, I changed my settings and locked the profile by making it read only. I would like to add adblock, so I need to somehow make the profile normal again.
Heres the command I need undone:
chmod a-w -R ~/.config/chromium/Default
This is happening me for more than a year and despite I talk Google but they never do anything.
Okay, I have saved 3 tabs in the browser always.But from time to time the following sites shows up in my browser without my authorization:
1- http://www.en.com/
2- http://www..%0a/

Why this is still happening?How can I block them to phishing (yes?) me?
Why those people FORCE me to visit (or buy their products) without my permission?
That is INVASION of PRIVACITY!

How do i roll back firefox5beta to firefox4 and keep updating to the latest stable releases w/out upgrading to beta? The only extension that isn't working is FEBE which is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently I have installed Fedora 10. It comes with firefox 3.xx by default. Now I was wondering if there is any way through which i can update it to 3.5 version though yum. I have tried yum update firefox but it did not work and returns following messages Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update I know that one way to update is download the latest Tar package and use it, but I want to totally remove my previous installation and use solely one package i.e. firefox 3.5.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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?

How do I force Firefox to recognize a certain default firefox profile I have?
For whatever reason I can't get FF to show all of the add-ons I have. Yes, they are installed and they appear when as icons when I first boot up but after I close FF and start it again there are no icons (like Adblock).
Im using firefox version 3.6.12 and it functions fine. However when i use the latest version of this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...11377/#reviews the screen goes grey and firefox crashes. Restarting firefox only results in more crashes. I had a older version of this addon-1.5 i believe that worked fine.
