I 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 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
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 9 Replies View Relatedadobe was kind enough to release new versions of flash to deal with the recent 0day exploit which is all fine and good except they didn't release a 64bit version. as a matter of fact the 64bit alpha is no longer available for download and their forum for the 64bit version has been set to read-only.
i'm using slackware64 13.1. i began the process of getting nspluginwrapper working with the 32bit plugin but decided that it wasn't worth the hassle. rather than just dump flash altogether, am i making my box "safe enough" by using the flashblock extension for firefox? obviously, sites still can sniff for the flash version, but nothing will be displayed unless i click on it. basically i'd only be using it for stuff like videos and a few other major sites that should be trustworthy.

Notice how LQ is pinned as an App Tab, just like the case with Chrome and Chromium? Notice also how the tabs are placed above the address bar, just like Chrome and Chromium?
Just why was this done and for what purpose? I'm posting this here because this screenshot was taken on Ubuntu and I'm using Ubuntu. I also tested Firefox 4 on Ubuntu before and didn't have this realignment of widgets.
Sometimes when I select a different tab in Chromium or Firefox the tab gets closed or killed
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem getting the website [URL]... to display and function properly on 10.10. What I thought odd was that it fails to work in both Firefox and Chromium, although other Flash applications work fine. Is anyone having the same problem I am? Does anybody know what the issue might be?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have got a problem with Adobe Flash. Flash is freezing firefox or chromium (I installed it just for test) until I kill plugin-container (in firefox).
I tested intensively and I can say that it freezes when Flash is going to reproduce a sound.
After updating to Natty Narwhal, Chromium began to occasionally crash, with the screen going black except for the mouse,which would freeze seconds later. Any sound playing will loop the last second or so, and no keyboard commands have any effect. As far as I can tell only a hard restart works.
The exact same thing happens with Firefox as well, except that Firefox freezes with the screen image, not blackness.
It is not consistent, but has been getting more frequent, and I have noticed a pattern of the crashes being associated with paying Flash video, and is almost certain with such.
I have tried updating Flash, Chromium, and running the Update manager roughly daily for a while now.
I can follow instructions well and usually actually understand what you're talking about.
I really need to open Firefox in Safe Mode as I have installed foxyproxy and it's gone wrong! and it won't let firefox open, so i need to open it in safe mode, how would i go about doing that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirefox Stable PPA provides the latest Firefox stable builds for Ubuntu 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10. This repository that provides the latest Firefox 4.0 stable.
Add the PPA using these commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
sudo apt-get update
Then if you have Firefox installed, you will get an update for the latest Firefox 4, the package name isn't named "firefox-4.0" like it is now in the Mozilla Daily PPA but simply "firefox", so it is simply a case of updating. I have done this and it works perfectly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of any download manager that allows you to time your downloads to start off at certain times / hours et cetera? I currently use DownThemAll! as an extension in my Firefox, but I don't think that has such a capability. I would prefer a browser extension, but if there's an application that would do I'd be thankful if you could name it.
I need this so that I time my downloads at certain hours and have them run automatically, due to the fact that my ISP allows some uncharged hours at night which I basically never made use of (but now I have to, as my free data download limit is close to being used up).

Did Ubuntu drop the ball here or is this just affecting my box? I'm considering switching to Google Chrome--to get security updates promptly.

I've got a fun one for you. What makes absolutely any attempt to view a flash video crash Ubuntu 10.10, both in firefox and chromium? Lately, firefox began doing this. I switch to chromium, same thing. Also, the system completely locks up after about 30 minutes online if I can get the thing to work at all. When this happens, the rounded edges of all windows disappear, the menus become unresponsive, and any attempt to open the system monitor to end the offending process results in an "Unable to fork new process, system resource unvailable" something like that.
My entire online routine goes like this: open terminal, su to admin account to enable ufw (which will not run at boot no matter what I try), su to normal, limited account, open web browser, things explode (or work for 15 minutes before freezing completely.)
I just found a neat way to encrypt a file in Ubuntu 10.04.
I right click on a file and select the Encrypt option. The program prompts me to "Choose Recipient" so I choose myself on the list. Then it prompts me to enter my passphrase.
Once all that's done I hit enter and it adds .pgp to the end of whatever file just encrypted. The same basic method is used to Sign the file.
Does it sound as though what I said is correct and that the file I wanted to encrypt was indeed encrypted?
Can anyone crack my files without the passphrase? I'm sure it depends on the complexity and length of the passphrase.

I see there are many firefox issues lately...
I connect to the internet through a password-protected network which stores my login for one day (basically every morning I get a redirect to a website that prompts for a username and password). The problem is that since my homepage is also 'https://' I get chromium's 'This is probably not the webpage you are looking for!' message. Quite simply, I want chromium to trust the login site enough that it will simply proceed to it without confirmation without applying this reduced security to other sites.
