Enigmail adds OpenPGP message encryption and authentication to your email client. It features automatic encryption, decryption and integrated key management functionality. Enigmail requires GnuPG (www.gnupg.org) for the cryptographic functions. Note: GnuPG is not part of the installation.

I think the Web Developer Extension is one of the few things that keep me coming back to FireFox. It also doesn't crash like Safari does when closing windows after watching Poker After Dark episodes.

Regarding AdBlock, tho: SafariBlock is pretty close.

Use firefox + ad block plus and filter doubleclick out with *.doubleclick.net/*

for crying out loud, use noscript (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/722)! why should anyone care if doubleclick owns itself or is owned by google (which has yet to break my trust)? i rather see power in able hands.

There is your solution right there.

Another reason to get the TrackMeNot Firefox extension, which performs random Google queries constantly in the background. It frustrates attempts at identifying a user through search term frequency analysis.

I recently discovered the CookieSafe Firefox extension, which is basically NoScript for cookies. Thankyou, Software Blaze!

Get Mr Tech's Local Install and you'll get "Remove Duplicate Messages" working just fine.

Try the Repagination extension.

• Automatically place my replies to messages in the same folder as the message I'm replying to.

From the much more detailed summary from the Rumbling Edge, 301084: Option to file replies in folder of original message is fixed.

Firefox users can use the User Agent Switcher extension to fool websites into thinking they're using IE. At least it's a temporary solution...

For ROT13 just add it with an addon. I personally use leetkey, which while a bit immature it some respects does add support for ROT13 =)

It is an addon derived from Sunbird called Lightning

Here is great how-to for syncing between Thunderbird an Gmail.

(no links from slashdot to bugzilla, so copy & paste)

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16625 4

I don't know that Mozilla, having worked entirely on client-side software thus far, is going to make the jump to server-side stuff.

That said, we have the beginnings of a good, free(beer) exchange/outlook calendaring replacement, using the Lightning plugin to TB2 to connect to Google Calendars. Works for me anyway.

..right?

okay, maybe not - not noted in the bug anyway ( turn off referrer: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92165 ).

In summary: You cannot rename a folder name "foo" to "Foo" (e.g. a case change). You have to rename "foo" to "foo_", and then rename "foo_" to "Foo".

Synchronisation with WM5 device

The answer is FinchSync.

Calender

You can get a colander at the kitchen store, and a calendar here.

HTH, HAND.

p.s. Google is your friend.

... filter messages based on text in their bodies. This is a basic feature in pine, mutt and even outlook. Here is the bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67421

POP3 is just way too insecure

Yeah, it looks nice. But this could not be used in a work environment. Email stored remotely like this would be an impossible sell.

I would have thought they would have integrated lightning (an integrated calendar extension, currently on 0.3). Again, I would love to have this built in...ah well Thunderbird 2.5? :)

1. Download source
2. Run configure with the following command (this solves a compile time known bug in gcc 4)
   
   ac_cv_visibility_pragma=no ./configure --enable-application=mail
3. make and sudo make install

Tried Lightning?

I'm not entirely down with Exchange, it always appeared more of a problem than a solution to me.

What specific integration features are you hoping for?

User agent switcher

I really hate using it though, because if the webmasters care at all (and are looking at their logs), it just looks like "oh everyone is using IE anyway, who said Firefox is gaining in marketshare?"

Isn't the ppi on a Mac different than on a PC? It has been a long time since I looked into that but doesn't a Mac and some Linux Distros set up as 96ppi versus a 72ppi for Windows? Would that not account for the longer upload box? I am not sure on that, as like I said, it has been a long time since I looked into that stuff.

When did Firefox 1.3 come out? I know of Firefox 1.0.3 and Firefox 1.5, but not Firefox 1.3. In fact 1.0.3 was a Security fix and improvements to the update process.

Sure can...it's very easy too.

Microsoft does manage to make Linux more attractive by releasing a crappy OS after 5 years of development and God knows how many resources invested in it.

And this new technology is actually a Good News for Linux ... now Adobe will have to improve that crappy Flash plugin that on Linux still doesn't support transparency ... and maybe even make it open-source in face of the danger posed by Microsoft.
They already released the ActionScript engine as Tamarin ... so I think they at least are considering the possibility (thanks to Microsoft) ;)

CookieSafe: will let you allow cookies for given sites, allow cookies for sessions for given sites, allow them temporarily for given sites, or not let a site set the cookie.

I'm sorry Microsoft, but you are too little too late.

The good news is that the really high quality browsers - like OmniWeb - allow you to globally filter out all such crapola, making exceptions on a per-site basis as you feel appropriate, or vice-versa.

As does the Flashblock extension for Firefox.

Cookiesafe allows me to keep my permanent cookies to a minimum, yet allow me all the functionality of session cookies. Of course, it does inflate the stats as the article mentions. In my previous job I worked with stats quite a bit (using WebSideStory/Hitbox), and it is such an inexact science that it ranks right up there with Lies and Damn Lies.

Anyone have other suggested software they prefer?

another reason why content owners like it is that it's very difficult to capture a stream

Any ad-infested content will quickly be cleaned up and uploaded to other sites, as it should be.

Try a very useful Link Alert Firefox extension. It changes the mouse cursor to indicate the target type (such as PDF) of a link.

You can say it, but I can't use it because I'm up to FF 2.0 and this extension is badly in need up updating.

However, you're right that cookie management has become yet another necessity for sane surfing. Cookie Safe seems to be the modern equivalent. Gonna give it a go.

While you're at it, why not hide the http referrer as well.

It seems I can.

With the ease of use that which NoScript provides that focuses on cookies.

TrackMeNot is a Firefox extension that protects against search data profiling by issuing randomized queries to popular search-engines with fake data.

If you want to read my mind by analyzing my search queries, I hope you're prepared to sift through a mountain of noise.

you can try my ff extension.

Why wait for Google. According to the Lightening 0.3.1 Release Notes there's a version you can download with integrated Sun Java System Calendar Server (WCAP) support. And in October you might have another option, given that Apple's Leopard iCal Server supports Sunbird, it should also support Lightening too. Or you could wait for it to be ported to Linux after they've released the source code, which they've promised to do.

An alternative that I have found stable and effective for video downloading is UnPlug. It scans the page and suggests possible download links, and lets you decide, (no external server access).

Better: UnPlug.

It works with far more websites than VideoDownloader, is faster, doesn't rely on an external webserver, and it actually scans the page for media rather than using a predefined set of rules that are dependent on the site. This makes it pretty damn flexible.
