Ubuntu :: Firefox Favicons Getting Associated With Wrong Bookmark

Apr 10, 2010

I've had a minor, yet potentially embarrassing bug in Firefox 3.0.x for many months in Ubuntu 9.04, and just recently also experienced it with a fresh install of 9.10 with Firefox 3.5.x. Basically what happens is that occasionally a favicon will incorrectly be associated with a bookmark until I visit the bookmarked web site again. And these will be favicons from websites that I do not have bookmarked. Normally I wouldn't care. But if I was surfing porn, sometimes the porn site favicon would show up on one of bookmarks. Which could cause a bit of embarrassment. LOL

It turns out through a bit of sheer luck, I discovered that the problem seemed to be a bug in the "Tab Mix Plus" Firefox add-on. Since I only wanted that add-on for it's last tab selected feature, I un-installed it and installed a much more light weight and simple add-on called "LastTab" to recreate that functionality. And I have yet to have this problem since then. I suppose it's possible that it could be an interaction problem between add-ons. So just for completeness of information, here's a list of all my add-ons prior to un-installing Tab Mix Plus and installing LastTab.

Ubuntu :: Getting Firefox To Load All Favicons?

Feb 10, 2010

I can't stand it when my bookmarks (especially on the toolbar) have the default icon. Is there any way (whether via extension or otherwise) to load up the favicons for all bookmarks? The only extensions of the sort I've found let you manually add favicons but obviously that's a huge pain for several hundred bookmarks.

Ubuntu :: Natty - Animated Favicons In Firefox Slowdown Pc ?

May 8, 2011

Does anyone else have problems when loading an animated gif in firefox? After upgrading to natty, firefox eats 100% of cpu each time an animated gif is displayed on the tab title, or when the favicon is an animation. I have an fglrx driver, but opengl animation doesnt slowdown pc as much as favicons does on firefox.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Firefox - Open Bookmark In New Tab

When I go to a bookmark, right click, instead of an option to open in a new tab...it directly opens the page. Has anyone else experienced this ? Do you think this is a bug in the new Firefox ? Or is this designed this way ?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Get Listed But Does Not Open After Adding Bookmark

Aug 10, 2010

I am puzzled by this really weird issue that involves Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8. When I add a bookmark (doesn't matter where I add it, could be to the field or to the menu) followed by exiting Firefox and then starting again, nothing happens. The process firefox gets listed with 'ps aux | grep fire' but the program itself doesn't appear, as if it hung before it could get to the display. However, when I remove ~/.mozilla (or rename it) Firefox starts up again nicely. I can only assume that the problem has to do with bookmarks (which is really odd..).

Applications :: Firefox - Bookmark Editing Broken ?

Aug 28, 2010

Linux - Ubuntu 10.4 LTS
Firefox 3.6.8 Canonical v1.0

First off, I have been having disk error problems with Ubuntu, and I think that a file that involves the bookmarks was corrupted. I did remove and reinstall the latest firefox package with Synaptic and apt-get (they do the same thing right?) But I still have this problem: I can not add or modify my bookmarks in the toolbar. I can go to the window to organize my bookmarks but its like nothing is there on the left main view box or the right that shows the bookmarks. If I try to import or restore, it does nothing.

Ubuntu :: Delete Firefox Bookmark For Site No Longer Existing?

Jan 3, 2011

Sometimes a site gets a new URL, or simply is discontinued.

I notice this when opening a bookmark of mine.

So I wonder if there is a way to delete the corresponding bookmark entry? Without having to go to bookmark manager?

I am thinking of a pressing a button that does:

Delete any and all bookmarks to this domain.

Debian :: Disable Favicons In Chromium Browser - Necessary Steps?

Jan 9, 2011

I have been messing around with Chromium browser. In particular, I have been attempting to set it up to open with various privacy features enabled, similar to how I have been running Iceweasel. I have sorted most of these issues out, by starting Chromium as follows: /usr/bin/chromium-browser -disk-cache-size=0 --incognito --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:3128. I have not been able to find the steps to disable or block favicons from appearing in the Chromium browser ui. I was curious if someone might know what steps are necessary to disable the favicons in Chromium browser. Alternatively, I could disable them in either of squid3 or privoxy (the two are chained on my machine), although I am not sure how to block 'favicon,gif' via either squid3 or privoxy, which should disable most, if not all, favicons in Chromium.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Wrong Version Number?

Jun 13, 2011

I have a machine with Ubuntu 11.04 on it. I have not installed any developmental build of Firefox 5 (unless that came with Ubuntu for some unfathomable reason). For some reason Firefox 4 seems intent on identifying itself as Firefox 5.0. How do I fix this? My extensions won't install claiming they can't run on 5.0.

Ubuntu One :: How To Bookmark Sync Function

Oct 16, 2010

bookmark sync function in Ubuntu One? I already installed xul-bindwood and I now see the Desktop Couch Scratch folder in my bookmarks, but I simply do not understand how this feature works and what it is supposed to accomplish. Is it similar to Firefox Sync (by Mozilla) in that it synchronizes the bookmarks on multiple computers? Or is it supposed to make the bookmarks accessible to view on the web under the account page (like Evolution contacts)?

Ubuntu :: How To Make A Bookmark In A Djvu File

Jul 2, 2010

What happens is that I like the djvu format (a lot!), and I'd like to export all my pdf books (I'm studying the university and I have a lot of pdf books) to djvu format.The problem is that I found very uncomfortable to read a djvu book (with hundreds of pages) without the help of bookmarks or index.I have found some djvu files with bookmarks and that's why I believe that there is a way to do this.I found an application called djvubookmarker on sourceforge.net , but this application only works on Windows OS (and doesn't work really good, it has some bugs) so I haven't used wine to use this application with my Ubuntu.

General :: Bookmark Manager - Use Different Browsers

Aug 25, 2010

I am looking for a standalone bookmark management application as I need to use different browsers on occasion and don't want to store my bookmarks on one of the web based services.

Ideally this would be a server client type arrangement that would store my bookmarks on my server which I could connect to through a client, or an ncurses based application, that I can store, tag and sort my bookmarks on.

I am aware of Sitebar which offers their server software, however their plug-in is firefox, IE, and maxthon only at present. In an added complication there seems to be a conflict with one of my other firefox add-ons.

Ubuntu :: Removing Item From Nautilus Places Menu - Not A Bookmark?

Aug 28, 2010

I was trying to install Sim City 4 Deluxe when somehow through my mounting an un-mounting of the two ISO's nautilus decided to make an entry in the places menu. I've searched through the forums and most of what I'm finding is how to remove things like the network and desktop items.

Here are three screenshots showing what I mean. Number one shows the entry I am talking about, specifically the SC4DELUXE1 entry. Number two shows that just right clicking and selecting remove like many threads suggest does not work here as it is grayed out. Lastly number three, this is the error I'm given when I left click the entry.

I finally figured out how to fix this. I simply went into the disk utility. Under peripheral devices the unwanted device was listed. Click the check file system button after selecting the device. It reports back that the file system is not clean and removes the device.

Ubuntu :: Bookmark Manager - Merging Files Into Single Collection

Jun 2, 2011

During the past eight years I've used a number of computers with different operating systems and browsers. On each one I made a habit of using the bookmark utility of each browser and saving the bookmarks file. I never ensured the continuity of the bookmark file - with each new computer I started a new bookmark file. Even when I was reinstalling the operating system I didn't import the old bookmark file in the newly installed browser: I've always started a new bookmark file. As a result I have tens of bookmark files for Firefox (json format - some kind of xml?) and IE (html file format?) each one containing hundreds or thousands of saved links. I have also some files containing links in text format (created usually when I was using someone else computer).

I would like to be able to manage this bookmarks files by using some sort of "bookmark manager" software. The "bookmark manager" should be able to merge the bookmark files into a single collection/file. It should be able to identify and remove the duplicate entries (I have timely versions of the same bookmark file) and also it should be able to group the entries/links on categories (for example the bookmarked articles on codeproject.com should be grouped under the codeproject category). Not to mention that it should provide a search facility to quickly locate the interesting bookmarks. I couldn't find such software in ubuntu software center. Do you know something that even comes close to what I need?

OpenSUSE :: Set Up Bookmarks Using The KRDC Bookmark Editor?

May 4, 2011

I am just trying out a new installation of 11.4 (KDE) but have an irritating problem when trying to set up bookmarks using the KRDC Bookmark Editor. Whenever I try to add or amend a bookmark in a folder, I start typing in the name or location box and the text field clears itself and the root of the bookmark folder tree becomes selected, making it impossible to add bookmarks. As I need to add around 200 bookmarks, this is really frustrating.

Ubuntu Security :: Can't Connect To Netdisk Space From Off-campus Using The Secure WebDAV Bookmark

Jan 13, 2010

My workplace recently switched to Active Directory for our netdisk space (I work at a University in the US). The "only way" (recommended) by our IT department is to use a cifs protocol. I've had absolutely no luck with that at all. However, it turns out that there is secure WebDAV protocol setup which works well on campus. If I'm off campus I have to connect via a VPN connection; our school uses Cisco Anyconnect 2.3.0254. It works well for me to connect to a printer, etc on campus.

Here's my problem: I can't connect to my netdisk space from off-campus using the Secure WebDAV bookmark that was working oncampus, even when I am connected via the VPN connection. I am using UFW. Is there a port I need to open up, or am I missing something else?
