Firefox 2 missing Addons

Firefox 2 has been out for some time now and there are still some Addons which have not been updated from their authors.

But since there is a big community there are several updates from other people to get the add on running on FF 2.

• Add'n Edit Cookies (Erics Comment has a link: http://zektek.com/cookie.xpi)
• ScreenGrab
• Tails Export

svn your system

After my friend used subversion also for the linux system for quite some time now i thought i give it finally a try.

Installing svn or importing the system was not the problem, but how am i able to add the system into svn without having to checkout at the end.

Goggling with the right words i found this.

The Trick is to add the directories by hand into the svn with mkdir and then checkout the empty directory into your system. Then all you have to do is to add all files and directories and commit everything:

# svn mkdir file:///root/svn-repository/etc
      -m "Make a directory in the repository to correspond to /etc"
# cd /etc
# svn co file:///root/svn-repository/etc .
# svn add *
# svn ci -m "Initial version of my config files"

Firefox will not start after installing SiteAdvisor

Today my Firefox did not start which was quite annoying for a Monday morning. The Safe Mode feature of FF was very helpful since i easily was able to find the course of the problem.

I have installed the SiteAdvisor extension from McAfee and after some googling i found this Article.

On Friday i changed my Proxy Settings from Direct Connection to Automatic (we had some problems with our servers) and forgot to undo this...

quite annoying "Feature" of the Extension.
