SSL Blacklist is a nice addon for Firefox that has the ability to detect MD5 signed certificates and block access. If you don’t know what’s the problem with MD5 signed certificates then enjoy reading this.

I had an issue on my workstation with Ubuntu 8 where whenever I played some sound with Firefox (a movie, music, …) I could no longer play sound with any other mediaplayer (banshee, …).

I resolved this by installing libflashsupport

A recent upgrade of Hotmail prevented me from sending new mails with Firefox 3 on Ubuntu. I could hit “reply” but it was impossible to edit the body of the e-mail. The editor just remained disabled.

The solution to this is fairly simple. Open Firefox, type in “about:config” in the addressbar and look for the setting “general.useragent.vendor“. On my Ubuntu machine this was set to “Ubuntu”. If you change this to “Firefox”, quit Firefox and restart it then you should be able to compose new e-mails in Hotmail.

On the other hand you might also consider using a reliable free mail provider.

Everyone who’s paying a visit to the Ryanair website and goes to the Destinations map will notice it … you need to install Microsoft Silverlight.

Uhmm … Silverlight only runs on Windows or Mac OS and not on Linux. I’ve not been able to check other parts of their site (registration and so on …) but surely their web development team must have been exposed to lack of oxygen?

When Firefox misbehaves by caching old DNS requests then type

in the addressbar and change these settings

Now restart your browser.

Een nieuw profiel voor Firefox en om het mijzelf in de toekomst gemakkelijker te maken, dit is een lijstje van geïnstalleerde plugins.

• Del.icio.us
• Download status bar
• Firebug
• Scribefire
• Web Developer
• Reminderfox

Een leuke campagne van Mozilla om via Operation Firefox de wereld te veroveren.

Via het plaatsen van grote affiches gaat niemand nog kunnen zeggen dat ze nog nooit van Firefox gehoord hebben. Spijtig genoeg laten de inschrijvings-regels niet toe om dit ook in België te doen. Iemand de nodige connecties binnen de Financiëntoren?
