Reading about how to Run your own Firefox Accounts Server…
Today I installed the Open in Browser Firefox extension which lets me open files in Firefox rather than having to download them… handy!
I was getting the error ‘ssl_error_expired_cert_alert’ in Firefox. I checked my client certificate and it hadn’t expired. I checked my CA certificate and it hadn’t expired. It turned out that the problem was that my ca.crl Certificate Revocation List had expired. I fixed that by running jj5-bin empathy-ca-update-crl which says:
echo Updating CRL... openssl ca -gencrl -config ca.cnf -cert cacert.crt -out ca.crl.pem -crldays 365 if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo Error updating CRL. exit 1 fi echo Exporting CRL to DER format... openssl crl -in ca.crl.pem -outform DER -out ca.crl.der if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo Error exporting CRL in DER format. exit 1 fi echo Viewing CRL... openssl crl -in ca.crl.pem -noout -text if [ "$?" -ne "0" ]; then echo Error viewing CRL. exit 1 fi
I was changing a HTML file index.html to be a PHP file called index.php and I renamed my index.html file index.html.bak. The plan was that Apache would find index.php rather than index.html and serve that as the default page. But when I went to load my page Firefox was asking me if I wanted to save the file with MIME type application/x-trash — not what I was expecting! It turns out the problem was related to the index.html.bak file, apparently Apache had decided that was the default page and then when it tried to get the MIME type for .bak it came up with application/x-trash. So the solution was to move the index.html.bak file to something with a filename that didn’t begin with ‘index.html’ (I used ‘original-index.html’) and then once that file had been renamed the index.php page was served properly.
Reading about Access Keys. Also a good article on Wikipedia.
For Firefox on Linux use: Alt + Shift.
Sometimes I have a problem where I connect to my server without using a certificate, and then later need to connect using a certificate. But if I’ve already selected not to use a certificate then Firefox doesn’t prompt again so I have been having to restart my browser when that happens, which was a real pain, until now!
To clear your SSL session state in Firefox choose History -> Clear Recent History… and then select “Active Logins” and click “Clear Now”. Then the next time you connect to your SSL server Firefox will prompt for which certificate to use.
Found some instructions about How to open file links in Firefox 1.5 and above and I’m going to try it out just as soon as I can reset my browser.
Basically you add something like the following to your user.js file which is in C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[Profile]\user.js.
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "localfilelinks"); user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://www.example.com"); user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
The URI file://bender-xp/C$/ works in an anchor tag in IE8 to open the \\bender-xp\C$ file share on my network. In this case bender-xp was the name of my local machine but it works for remote file shares too (I tested it to a Samba share on another box).
Unfortunately my version of Firefox (version 9.0.1) doesn’t support this.
Learned how to Disable CSS on Firefox. It’s in View -> Page Style.
