OK – a little history. I wanted to write this extension some time ago, but couldn’t figure out how to make it work. Apparently, someone has spent the time to find out, and now I have to tear apart the code to find out how they did this. Anyway, this allows you to sign and encrypt any text in Firefox using GPG. It rocks. You can use the options dialog to select the private key to use. It also has [...]
So, I was annoyed about these things: I couldn’t use the backspace key to go back. I couldn’t middle click paste links. I couldn’t open a whole bunch of tabs before they scrolled. The close buttons on each tab annoy me. I’d lose my session if I pushed the close button, but it would come back if I force killed. So I fixed them all like this: Go to about:config. browser.backspace_action = 0 middlemouse.paste = 0 and middlemouse.contentLoadURL = true [...]
I updated the TinyURL plugin for Firefox to support 2.0 since the author capped the version in the install.rdf at 1.5. It’s available here. HORRAY!
So, I upgraded Typo a few days ago, and just noticed today that all my links are broken because my relative_url_root is busted. I wonder what caused that. Anyway, on a better note, I fixed Firefox to open all new windows in new tabs instead. So much better. Here’s the fix: browser.link.open newwindow.restriction = 0 browser.link.open newwindow = 3 Now, all the calls even from javascript will divert into the newwindow setting, which opens new tabs for everything. YAY! This [...]
So, I removed evolution today so it would stop trying to configure itself. Then, I went and found a perl script that would send me to a gmail compose page. Here’s the result: #!/usr/bin/perl # Open about:config # Set the option “network.protocol-handler.external.mailto” to true # Create the option “network.protocol-handler.app.mailto” and set it # to ~/bin/mymailer.pl use strict ; my $link = $ARGV[0] ; $link =~ /mailto:(.*)/ ; exec “firefox \’http://gmail.google.com/gmail?view=cm&fs=1&tearoff=1&to=$1\’”; Works wonderfully! I’m so happy I found this.
I couldn’t paste a URL with a middle click! What a crock! Here’s the fix: about:config” middlemouse.contentLoadURL = **true**
