This is not very likely.  The feature works by downloading a list
of infected sites at a certain interval, then storing this list
in a local file.  The file is then consulted during browsing.

So there is no extra query to a single server that has to reply before
a page is shown, like in some competing system.

Java

2013-01-29 Thread Matthias Kahlert
I know about the security implications but need the java-plugin for a
certain application. JRE 7.11 32-bit is installed on Win7x64 prof.

I used Seamonkey 2.14.1 or 2.15 (the effect is the same) an on some
profiles java only partially works:

1) http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp - works
2) http://javatester.org/version.html - does not work (nothing happens,
the java console which is activated does not appear.)

The application I need seems to be of type 2 and also does not work.

On other user-profiles on the same pc everything is fine (and it also
used to work with older versions of jre), so I rule out the seamonkey
and the java installation. The problem must be somewhere in the profile.

Any ideas? (renaming blocklist.xml as per another posting didn't help)

Good thinking.

The checksum is ok.
To extract, I display the tar file in the ROX-filer.
When I clck on it, Xarchiver 0.5.2 is opened with the tar file inside.
I select extract and the tar is extracted.

As a test I did the tar -tvf command and saw now the searchplugins
listed with the xml files inside.

So I did a tar -xvf and have indeed the searchplugins extracted as
should be with the xml files inside.

So something is wrong with Xarchiver 0.5.2 and the seamonkey tar isn't
extracted correctly.

This could explain other weird things I have some times, like the
auto-update not being executed correctly.

Thank you for your intervention.



You are most welcome. Happy searchplugging :-)



Just to add.
As I had the same issue with firefox 18.0.1 I did the untar trhough the 
console also.

Now I have the searchplugins with the xml files also.
Again proof that something is wrong with the Xarchiver 0.5.2 in the 
puppy linux version I am using.

Work for the developer. ;-)

Hey, Rob, in your first para, you say that a list is downloaded, so in 
your second para, you *must be wrong* when you state there is no extra 
query to a single server that has to reply.


Of course, this extra wait time will depend on how often SM has to 
download the list of infected sites, daily, weekly, whatever.

No, you missed the rest of the sentence: ...that has to reply before a

What Rob meant is that Firefox won't stop loading the page you want to
visit while checking a particular server to see if that page is clean.
Instead, it has a previously-downloaded blacklist of problem sites.

No.  There is no extra wait time.  The download proceeds in the background
while you are working on your computer, not at the time you click a link.

The Gecko backend downloads the phishing and malware data in chunks at
a low priority. I think it takes up to a week for the complete tables to
be downloaded. After that, any updates are also download in chunks.

Back in the Triassic when the safe browsing code was still a separate
Google Safe Browsing extension, there was code to do online lookups if
the local copies of the databases didn't have information on a
particular URL, but that functionality was removed a long time ago.

Rostyk, I know nothing about ATT or Bellsouth and never
use POP.  But I typed pop settings for firefox for att
into Google and the very first hit displayed the very
information you are seeking.

Surely server-specific settings are something one should
research on the web rather than on a Seamonkey support
list, are they not ?
