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.
have two copies of firefox, one with addons and one without?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use Kubuntu 9.10. All packages are up-to-date. The problem: When opening a new window in firefox, the new window forgets the toolbar settings. So when I start firefox and the first window shows up, it shows my toolbar settings correctly, which is pretty minimalistic actually (no buttons, bookmark menu, google searchbar, etc.). But when I then open a new window from the original one, the new window has forgotten my toolbar settings and shows all the buttons, the searchbar, etc..
This happens irrespective from if I hit Ctrl+N, or print firefox after hitting Alt+F2 (which just opens a second window since the firefox process is already running). What can I do? I read in some other post that you should delete some settings file that might have gone corrupt, but I have done this and it did not help.
I set up all my icons on the bookmarks toolbar, but after restarting all the icons are the same one.
i.e. I have 10 reddit bookmarks and no gmail,ubuntu etc. Only happens on this machine, not my work machine that has ubuntu10.10 as well.
I've just installed an Ubuntu 9.04 to a Lenovo N500 laptop and as the default user (ie with root privileges) I have installed Flash 10 using dpkg -i install_flash..10.deb and delicious toolbar using Firefox internal add-on system.
Later I've created a "desktop user" and logged in as a desktop user. In Firefox, Flash 10 is ok, (e.g. UTube is functional) but there's no delicious toolbar in any way!
How to bring back delicious in desktop user? Could it be something to do with file permissions?
I have been working for the last three months with Ubuntu 10 on a destop. Doing just fine and loving it. I decided to try a new position for the toolbar that sits at the top of the screen. I did a right click and moved it to the right side of the scree, didn't like the look of that. Right click on the bar and moved it to the left, didn't like that either, so moved it to the bottom. having done all that I thought I could put it back at the top but alas, I can not right click on the Toolbar.
It seems as though the two bars are fighting each other at the bottom of the screen.I would like to go back to the default position at the top of the screen. I do have a terminal window available to me on the desktop so if I could find out the command line to type in, I should be able to reset my tool bar. Being new I have no idea what this command would be.
In linux version of firefox (specifically in my case Debian's rebranded Iceweasel), folders of bookmarks in the personal toolbar show a little down arrow on the right of the name. It serves no real purpouse and just takes up horizontal space, is there a way to remove it?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUpon 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.
