Re: New firefox doesn't understand lpr?
I'm annoyed with firefox3. I use LPRng and even changing to its lpr to /usr/local/bin/lpr in about:config won't work. I still get BSD lpr in the print dialog. Is there any way to get rid of these horrible new icons? I'm 38 years old, not 8 years old! I really feel sorry for anyone with poor eyesight trying to even see them at all! patrick keshishian wrote: Somewhat related to this thread ... Anyone figure out how to make print-setting to save after they are changed? e.g., ^P to get the print dialog up. Next, in the Options tab in the bottom section Header and Footer changing what is printed at each corner. These changes seem to apply only to the current print job. Subsequent print requests default back to previous settings. Also, anyone else find the fact that file-browse (html form input-field type=file, e.g., file-attach through gmail, etc.) fields no longer allow typing or pasting of text a slight bit irritating? Clicking in the field, which seems grayed-out, pops open the file-browse window/dialog. This is /the/ most annoying feature thus far. Is there a work-around to this? This is my first time running ff3 (on any platform). so, /i/ may be doing things wrong (i.e., these may be user-errors) --patrick p.s., other that those, so far, ff3 seems to be much more responsive and lighter than ff2.

There is a firefox2 theme for firefox3. The theme option page won't offer you a link but the add-ons page at mozilla has a link to themes. I searched for firefox 3.0.4 and got a list. patrick keshishian wrote: Somewhat related to this thread ...

I know what I'm doing, if I really want to connect to https://localhost, once firefox has told me the certificate is self-signed and that it can't resolve the hostname through RDNS, I JUST WANT IT TO GET OUT OF MY FACE SO THAT I CAN TEST STUFF ! Good rant. I believe this is the proof that noone tests their web shit before it gets rolled out. At work we had so much pain with the certificate stuff in FF3 that we added shitpiles of makefile magic to recycle old certificates for our test environment (that is bootstrapped from scratch every time, yes it's https://localhost). //art

I'm beginning to get pissed at all the shit the firefox devs and gnome people are putting in their software. They are obnoxious, and no longer actually serve their users. I've spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to coerce firefox to accept an https self-signed certificate. Heck, when you're trying out stuff, it's already fucking hard enough to set up apache and get self-signed certificates. And yep, fuck jesus !

Geeze ! looks like it's no longer possible *simply* to run https tests without having a full network and $$$-certificates. Nice job, mozilla foundation!

Those users are far more numerous, and that matters a lot for those projects. They mean to win and the end justifies the means for them. Nevermind that they are becoming the enemy they hope to overcome. That point is completely lost on them. It's not about being better any longer.
