Author of NoScript Apologized
Posted on May 7th, 2009 at 11:38 by fr3@K

Giorgio (author of NoScript) apologized and explained things from a somewhat different (i.e. his) perspective.

As Giorgio said himself, it was wrong and there is no excuse. Though, from a user’s point of view, I do not agree with his doings in this instance. However, from a geek’s (i.e. my) point of view, they were not unthinkable.

My take, Giorgio was hacking, not for the greater good obviously, but there was no intention to takeover the world (or helping bad guys doing so) neither. That is if it is his true thinking that he told us.

For now, I am keeping NoScript.

Delicious Bookmarks Upgrade Breaks Firefox Tab Navigation
Posted on June 15th, 2008 at 15:57 by fr3@K

For those of you using Delicious Bookmarks with Firefox, beware of that the latest version of the add-on (2.0.58) may break your tab navigation functionality.

Symptoms:

  1. CTRL+PG_DOWN (and CTRL+PG_UP) behaved very funny. Instead of setting focus on the next tab, it sets focus on the tab next to the next tab. If I had exactly two tabs, C+PD/PU would always set focus on the tab that currently has the focus, i.e. nothing really happens.
  2. Opening new tabs at the wrong tab order. Always to the right of the last tab.
  3. Closing tabs sets focus on the wrong tab. Always on the first tab.

I am running FF 2.0.0.14 on Ubuntu Gutsy with roughly 30 add-ons enabled. I am way too lazy trying finding out if this issue only happens when certain add-ons are installed/enabled. Unless someone, who is serious in tracking this issue, needs me doing so.

Reverting Delicious Bookmarks to 1.5.44 (avaiable here) resolved the problem.

The last two symptoms described here might have something to do with Tab Mix Plus (I am using 0.3.6). I’ve reported this issue in a review on Firefox Add-ons.

這是我看過最有趣的 Firefox 秘技. 在位置欄輸入 chrome://browser/content/browser.xul 為 URL, 按下 Enter, 打開的網頁是另一個 Firefox:
