Ubuntu :: Can't Install Firefox Addons In 10.04
May 8, 2010
I recently replaced Opensuse 11.2 on my computer with Ubuntu 10.04. My internet connection is working and I can install software from Synaptic package manager, but I can't install Firefox addons. Example I tried to install the Firefox addon Video Downloadhelper from addons.mozilla.org but I got this error:
Code: Firefox could not install the file at [URL] because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption) -261 I then tried to install that extension by downloading its .xpi file to my hard drive and drragging it into the Firefox addons window but then I got this error:

I have Adblock and a bunch of other add-ons installed on Firefox. When I boot up and then start Firefox- the addon icons appear in/on Firefox's tool bar.
IF....I close Firefox and start it again the addon icons aren't on the tool bar or, like Ghostery, at the bottom of the screen...I think it's called the status bar.

I am using firefox 4.0 under ubuntu 11.04 beta which I have just now installed. I want to import addons and settings from firefox 4.0 under ubuntu 10.10 (which is installed on a different partition). What is the best way to achieve this? Shall I simply copy .mozilla folder from the previous installation to the current installation? Is there any better ways?

I had firefox having an inability to download addons, so I edited the dhclient.conf file by entering the following into a terminal:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
When the document opened, I edited the line that starts prepend domain-name-servers to read:
Code:
8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4;
Saved and closed the file. I went back to the terminal and opened the nsswitch.conf file by entering:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/nsswitch.conf
When the document opens, I edited the line hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 to read:
Code:
hosts: files dns
Saved and exited the document. To be on the safe side, I restarted my computer after making the edits. [/QUOTE]
This was done following the thread someone wrote on a similar error: [URL]. Still does not allow addons...

I'm on Karmic, and currently the only firefox I have in the repository is 3.5.9, but I would like to install 3.6. Is there a way to just upgrade the current Firefox install without breaking any of my addons/settings or synaptic (and avoid having it screw the version up later)?

I am aware of the multitude of firefox addons there are, but they are not really what I am looking for. I am also aware that I can just recover the temp files from my hard drive, that is not what I am looking for either. I was wondering if you guys knew of any actual software for linux that does the job, something like orbit downloader. The reason being is that orbit allowed multiple http connections at once, making for much faster downloads, much more efficient on system resources that browser addons. It was also in a neat little menu.

su (my username) VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run After that I give my password. The message I get is that This program must be run with administrator privileges. Aborting What Have I done wrong? I used su and gave my password, but it still is refusing to install.I am sure I am missing something very simple.

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.

I have recently switched from Banshee to Songbird, and am loving it. Especially now that there is a ppa for it, which I just discovered. However, i have tried to download an addon and a theme, and apparently it just told me to restart after installing, but it doesn't show up when I go to View>Feathers. It just shows the default theme, Gonzo. Has anyone had this problem, or knows how to fix it?

I just now installed Celestia, and I was in the process of installing a few addons. In order to do this, files must be copied into the /usr/share/celestia. However, I cannot do this. I keep receiving a "permission denied" message, even after running sudo -i in the terminal. Is there any way I can get rid of this "permission denied" stuff?

Upon a fresh installation of Ubuntu Natty, I have noticed only a couple of my nautilus-actions are actually showing up in the context menu. On further review, I noticed Nautilus-actions has changed a lot, and I cannot seem to figure out why most of my actions are not showing up. It seems no matter what I change, they will not show up. Some of the ones I cannot seem to get up are 'Wipe' commands and several of my homemade ones that worked flawlessly in past Ubuntu versions, such as Chown, Make Executable, Renamer, among others. Oddly, two of them work just fine, Search Here and Open Root Nautilus. I am not sure why these work, while the others do not, other than they are not used by selecting item(s)/folders. Also, I noticed there is a change with the parameters, in which now all of them use %F instead of %M. Does anybody know why that is, and/or does it really matter. FYI, I am using the classic version, not Unity as my desktop.

I am running Ubuntu 10.10. I uninstalled Firefox a few weeks ago, thinking I would never use it (I use Chrome). I decided to re-install FF as a backup in case some website(s) wouldn't function properly with Chrome. For some odd reason, when I try to install Firefox from the Ubuntu software center, it fails every time, and tells me to check my internet connection, which is functioning perfectly. Any ideas on what is going on, and how to install Firefox?
I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the Firefox setup files, but I have no idea what to do with them now. I know how to unpack the files, but that's it.

I just got Clear Internet and when I used the PPA from Ubuntuzilla I could see the update was available but it said "A recomended security and stability update is available, but you do not have the system permissions to install it. contact your system adminstrator or try again from an account that has permission to access from this computer". Why would a change in isp's do this, it is not logical, is it?
