Software :: Install Firefox Extensions For All Users?
May 17, 2010
I am wondering the "new way" to install firefox extensions for all users. From [URL] we can see that the "old way" is no longer available.

-install-global-extension and -install-global-theme have been removed from Gecko 1.9.2 and upwards.
I'm using the Lucid UNE to write this and note that it has these extensions installed for every user:

I have several users on many computers and would like to have certain extensions installed for them, such as xmarks, add bookmark here, coolpreview, etc. I searched the entire root filesystem and didn't find any .xpi files.

Is it possible to install Firefox xpi extensions into Konqueror? I can't find anything about this. All I can determine is that this xpi is a compressed directory with javascript and config files.
I would like to start using Firefox 4.X beta and I read it was possible to install extensions such as Ad Block and No Script . What I would like is step by step instructions on how to add these currently non compatible extensions.
I was using firefox 3.X (latest) until recently but it irked for two reasons:
- it takes forever for everything
- it kept crashing (as in really really often)
first I got rid of some extensions to save some thinking energy, but didn't help much, so I downgraded and am now running 2.0 silly thing is, none of my extensions work - they seem to be 'registered' to FF3 (which I purged) This also applies to new addons installed from FF2.
I have a directory of a load of files without extensions. I know what the filetype should be, so is there any way of batch renaming the files to append a given extension onto it. i.e. text would be renamed as text.txt?
Can Firefox extensions be safely installed "the right way", that is, via Firefox interface? Or is it preferred to use the package manager? Some extensions I'm interested in aren't available in the official repositories while those that are available are quite outdated.
I have installed Chromium from OpenSuSE 11.4 Contrib. I have x86_64 openSuSE. When I go to the Chrome store to install some extensions the store says that Image View
I'm using Debian Jessie and I'm trying to install some Gnome Shell Extensions from this site: [URL] .....
I click on the extension and it shows a button that I can turn ON or OFF. It's OFF by default. Then I click it, it turns ON and I'm asked if I want to download and install that extension. I say Yes! But then nothing happens. If I visit "Installed extensions" session, it says there are no extensions installed. And if I refresh the extension page, the ON button becomes OFF again. No matter how many times I try to do this, the result is the same. I tryed it with Iceweasel (v. 24.2.0) and Google Chrome (v. 32.0.1700.77) and default gnome-shell (v. 3.8.4).
I'm a PHP developer trying to switch from Windows to Linux. So I'm new with Linux. I tried to google for a solution and tried the suggested wiki FAQ but with no success.I wanted to install zend-server-ce-php-5.3 today with yum. This worked okay.After this I tried to install php-5.3-extra-extensions-zend-server. This seemed to work.
Firefox 3.0 falls out of support at the end of the month and after 3.0.19 there will be no more security fixes. what is happening with 11.1 and firefox 3.0. Are 11.1 users going to be left without any security fixes for firefox?
Since Ubuntu become 10.04, Firefox got some big issues with losing it's memory of saved users/passwords and places I've visited earlier. To fix it, I need to close and re-open Firefox and all is fine for a time. But after some time, all stuffs is gone missing again and I need to close and re-open it...
Why isn't Windows users affected with this? Only Ubuntu folks?
is anyone able to tell me what the "opensuse firefox extensions" is or are?and what does it mean by "desktop integration"?outside of its listing in my firefox addons, i am not sure if i am aware of its actual functioning presence.i ask because something is freezing/crashing my system from time to time.it's happened variously with firefox, dolphin, and ktorrent, as well pulling up my autohidden panel...sometimes they'll do it on their own, or, for instance, when i try to open firefox or dolphin while running ktorrent. this has happened more than a few times, but it has frozen under a few other circumstances besides these mentioned.
I have some directories with a varying numbers of files and subdirectories. All files that have no extensions have to be tared. Their names may change, thus they can not be hardcoded. Subdirectories may also contain a unspecified number of files and subdirectories that are not relevant and should not be included in the archive.
I'd like to be able to do this with a single line, not using any .sh scripts, so that this process could be reproduced as portably as possible.
Sample directory structure:
$ ls -1F bar-dir/ bar.with.dots foo-directory/ foo-no-ext
I have installed apache 2 and php 5 on my server. It works great but what I need is to add few extensions to PHP so it supports my website:
PDO (with MySQL and PostgreSQL driver) curl GD2 or Imagick
How can I do that?
I have located my php.ini file. It's in the /etc/php5/apache2.php.ini. I have used nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to open it and I searched for "curl", "pdo" etc but there is no mention of them in the php.ini file. No commented lines with these extensions.
Will it work if I just add this on the end of my php.ini?
I was watching a friend of mine install PHP on SuSE with YaST, and it appeared as though he was able to select the various extensions he wanted compiled into PHP for installation. I didn't know this was possible, I thought you pretty much had to take whatever extensions whoever built the package decided to include. Is it possible with CentOS to install PHP with a custom selection of extensions?
I installed Fedora 15, fresh install, today. Then I installed several Gnome Shell extensions along with Gnome Do through the package manager. I logged out, and tried logging back in. Received the Gnome Shell error message, "Fatal error" and was told to try again. Get taken back to login window.
I tried logging in as "root" so I could uninstall the packages I installed, but apparently you can't do that in Fedora. What's the best course of action?
Trouble is that ROBOTNAME is different in each of the hundred and fifty files. To make it harder, there are other gif filenames on these pages that I do not want to change. I only want the extensions to change if the address prefix is 'images/robopix/web/'. Is there any way to do this with a quick program/sed command rather than manually editing a hundred and fifty files?
I installed Ubuntu 32 bit non server edition a while ago and set up mysql, phpmyadmin, apache2, php5 and also proftpd my site is up and running perfectly but one thing I want to do is to hide the file extensions like for example at the moment it shows[URL]
I understand that .tar.gz and .tgz are equivalent to each other.
I did some checking as alway online. I am however stuck how to you make files with a tar.gz extenstion become .tgz. In the case of it being a compressed file is there a right and wrong way of doing this.
it seems that I always encounter things slightly off the beaten path, against my less then optimal knowledge of the man pages.
GNU/Linux kernel 2.6, Slackware. VIM - Vi IMproved 7.1 Huge version without GUI. When I quit an editing sesion vim creates a backup file with the same name as that of the edited file but with a '~' appended. I would like the name for the backup file to be the following: same base name as that of the edited file and edited file extension replaced by 'bak'. Example:
Input file//////////////backup file after editing ----------//////////////------------------------- foo.txt/////////////////foo.txt~ foo.txt/////////////////foo.bak
The first line corresponds to what vim now does. The second one is what I want vim to do.
I've been looking for info about Legacy OS but havent found much. I installed it and all works great except there are no active wireless extensions.My laptop have an internal wifi adapter (bcm43xx) I tried to load that driver using legacy OS network wizard but didnt work, the other is a external wireless card with a rtl8187 driver, this last one is the one I want to be up. I also tried to use ndiswrapper but can't set it up either.
I am currently DL-ing a handful of ISO's and am having to set each file's priority to Low on a case-by-case basis. Is there something I'm missing or is there a way to set a Global priority (like speed-limitations)?
Also: I notice that in multi-file torrents (e.g. those found in Fedora-12-x86_64-Live) that each file can have its own priority setting. Can these have a default other than Normal?
I have a large number of files, all of them named /*/*.xyz I need to match them to potential files name /*/*.abc I have tried find -name *xyz |awk '// {print '$NF'}' | awk '{print $NF }' but the result has the full path I just need the filename without the extention, and without the full path.
I just installed Slackware 13.1 on my Asus 1215T, and I've been trying to get it to connect to my wireless network in my home. When I type iwconfig I get no wireless extensions, and ifconfig returns only lo, no wlan0. I read the Slackbook wiki and tried to configure the inet1.conf and wireless.conf but still no luck...
