Firefox Configuration Guide for Privacy Freaks and Performance Buffs

Mozilla has created a support page that lists all the connections that Firefox make without explicit permission of the user. As you can see, quite a few are listed there. While some are enabled after user activity, for instance adding live bookmarks to the browser, others are enabled by default. This guide looks at the latter kind, explains what their use is, and how you can disable them if you do not require them.

Ensemble de mes articles concernant Firefox, afin que ce soit plus clair.

Avec Firefox, il s'avère indispensable de sauvegarder le répertoire de profil en vue d'une réinstallation ou d'un clonage de son navigateur préféré sur une autre machine. Ce répertoire possède un nom bizarroïde composé de chiffres et de lettres et il se trouve en général dans : "C:\ Documents and Settings \ Administrateur \ Application Data \ Mozilla \ Firefox \ Profiles" Le chemin est un peu compliqué, pour ouvrir ce dossier facilement : - Cliquer sur le menu "?" de Firefox - Choisir "Informations de dépannage". - La page "Troubleshooting Information" s'ouvre - Clic sur "Ouvrir le dossier correspondant" permet d'entrer dans le répertoire de profil. Il est très facile ensuite de le sauvegarder avec un copier/coller. L'accès à la page "Troubleshooting" est également possible en tapant "about:support" dans la barre d'adresse.

First, you'll need to track down your installed scripts. They're in your Firefox profile, under the "gm_scripts" sub-folder. Or, if you'd prefer, you can skip the search and download any script from the online script repository. Next, you need to change the file extension from .js (Javascript) to .txt (plain text). After you've changed the extension, double-click the file to view the code. Copy and paste the code into the User Script Compiler and hit "Generate." Voila! Your new Firefox extension (.xpi) is complete. To install in Firefox, simply drag the new extension onto the Firefox interface and follow the prompts.

You can accomplish all of this via JavaScript.Scripts include metadata that provide details about the script, including target sites and sites that should never apply. The following metadata elements may be used: * Name: The name assigned to the script. It is displayed when the script is installed, as well as within the Manage Scripts window. * Namespace: The namespace used to distinguish scripts when more than one has the same name. (This is the same approach as used in programming languages like Java and C#.) * Description: A brief description of the script’s purpose. * Include: A list of URLs associated with the script (i.e., the URLs for running the script). The URLs may include wildcard characters (*). Multiple URLs appear on their own line. * Exclude: A list of URLs for which the scripts will never run. Multiple entries appear on their own line.

Problème : cela implique (en tout cas pour le moment) que vos lecteurs installent sur leurs navigateurs l’extension OpenURL Referrer, dont j’ai déjà parlé, qui transforme les COinS en URL cliquables. Il faut donc leur indiquer le site, leur demander de télécharger l’extention, et leur expliquer comment paramétrer les valeurs à y mettre (essentiellement URL du résolveur, et sa version). On risque de perdre plus de la moitié du lectorat visé par ces consignes. La meilleure solution est donc de proposer, sur le site de la bibliothèque, l’extension préparamétrée. Cela permet d’esquiver complètement la notion d’OpenURL (amusez-vous à la leur expliquer si vous vous en sentez le courage), et de leur proposer “simplement” : une extension qui permet de rebondir depuis une référence d’ouvrage trouvée sur Internet vers le catalogue de sa bibliothèque, pour voir rapidement si elle le propose ou non. Quelques explications préalables sont nécessaires.

Utiliser son navigateur web comme s’il y en avait plusieurs. L’utilité ? De disposer d’un navigateur spécifique à type d’utilisation : surf, multimédia, réseaux sociaux, développement web... D’abord, c’est un cadre de travail : pas de marques-pages parasites, une barre individuelle dédiée, les onglets qui m’attendent avec les pages web indispensables, et une petite sélection d’extensions appropriées [2]. Ensuite, c’est l’occasion de marquer une franche séparation entre ces activités spécifiques et celles de ma vie personnelle (ce qui n’a pas de prix quand on travaille chez soi). Le principe de fonctionnement : Pour cela, il suffit d’installer l’extension ProfilesSwitcher. Celle-ci ajoute quelques fonctionnalités pratiques dans le menu "Fichier", et surtout active la possibilité d’ouvrir plusieurs profils à la fois (pour basculer d’un profil à un autre, il est sinon obligatoire de fermer le premier).

tuto à Metz aussi (plus sur l’usage de l’outil)

Honnêtement, j’ai eu du mal avec l’interface de paramétrages de LibX. Et comme je n’ai pas réussi à trouver de tutoriel simple en français, il me semble utile d’en faire un petit ici. Pour l’instant, mon objectif avec LibX sera “simple” (au regard de toutes les possibilités que l’outil offre) : obtenir des ISBN cliquables dans les pages web que je vais rencontrer. LibX permet aussi, par exemple, une articulation avec un résolveur de lien et un proxy (pour les ressources en ligne payantes). Mais on n’en est pas là.

Cette méthode décrit l'installation globale d'une extension (ou un thème) dans le répertoire d'installation de Firefox / Thunderbird / Mozilla Suite / Seamonkey ou Nvu. Une extension ainsi installée sera disponible pour tous les utilisateurs et tous les profils.fermer absolument toute session de l'application concernée, y-compris popups, préférences ; déposer le package XPIdans le répertoire des extensions de l'application elle-même (et non pas du profil utilisateur !).

This works on AutoPager 0.5.1.4 or newer version. This is the recording of the steps to create the rule for http://www.pspad.com/en/pspad-extensions.php. This demo shows how to create AutoPager rules for the pages which don't have "Next" in links. They only have a navbar includes all the page numbers like this: Page: [1], 2, 3, 4. The final link xpath get in this tutorial is: //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] Steps explains: //div[@id='obspoz']/p :select the navbar. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text() : select the texts in the navbar since current page number does not have a node //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')] : select the text for the current page number. It will be easier if the current page number has a node, for example if it's a span with class='current': //div[@id='obspoz']/p/span[@class='current']. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] : select the first link after the current page number text.

Script Summary: Add pop-up preview to any site.(Script homepage).....Rules for popup action must be written in "SITEINFO" in proper format. Properties of SITEINFO url (required)(RegExp) : URL to which the rule is applied. targetElement (required)(XPath) : XPath which select "A" elements. When "mouseover" action occurs on them, linked pages (values of "href" attributes) will be fetched. popupElement (required) (XPath) : XPath which select elements in fetched pages. These elements will be appear in tooltips. disabled (optional) : If you want to disable a rule temporally, set "false". style (optional) : CSS attributes of tooltips. Please be careful to write in CamelCase! (border-width -> borderWidth) stripe (optional) : If you set "true", small icons will be appended to elements on which the action will occur.

GreaseMonkey

“Being nameless or unidentifiable”. When we are browsing the internet, we are identifiable by “IP Address” and our “Browser header/HTTP header”. Firstly, get Firefox, and this extension. User Agent Switcher allows you to change.. well, your user extension. I recommend either making one up entirely or just randomising them at certain points in the day. Secondly, get the stable Tor package from here. Follow the instructions for installing it here. Get TorButton for Firefox, and you’re ready to go. You can check your IP address here before enabling Tor, and again after enabling it, to make sure it’s different. There are other type’s of proxies to port; for instance, web based proxies such as Proxifier.co.uk. Essentially, a webbased proxy will load the site onto it’s server, and you will load it from their server. These are better for people who wish to bypass a network blocklist at college or their workplace, as they require no installation and no ports to be forwarded.

Example Greasemonkey script below. The only things that need to be changed are bolded italic. In short, the XPath that identifies the top-level DIV, the XPath that identifies the DIV containing the content you want to display, and a list of XPath's that you want to remove.

Guide pour créer des application avec Mozilla : très fournit

Mozilla Labs experiment into connecting the Web with language in an attempt to find new user interfaces that could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily. The overall goals of Ubiquity are to explore how best to: * Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.) * Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone–not just Web developers–to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.) * Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility. * Extend the browser functionality easily.

Operator demonstrates the usefulness of semantic information on the Web, in real world scenarios.Here are some examples of things you can do with this release of Operator, and with the Web as it exists today : Yahoo! Local and Your Address Book. With Operator you can send the phone number of your favorite pizza place from Yahoo! Local to your address book, without having to type anything..... Operator requires information on the Web to be encoded using microformats, and since this method for semantically encoding information is relatively new, not all sites are using microformats yet. However, Operator works great with any blog that uses rel-tag, and the sites Yahoo! Local, Flickr, and Upcoming.org, all of which contain millions of pieces of information expressed using microformats. As more sites begin to semantically encode data with microformats, Operator will automatically work with them as well.

Firefox user Asian Angel loves Portable Firefox for projects like creating a Google Chrome clone, but you can also use it to run multiple, sandboxed instances of the browser at the same time. What's the point? Well, it lets you log into multiple accounts at the same service (like Gmail) in different windows, and run certain extensions and styles in one browser instance but not another. You already know how to create multiple Firefox profiles and even run them simultaneously, but using Portable Firefox you can easily back up your customized installations and run them anywhere. Reader Asian Angel explains how she assembled a colorful "Firefox six pack" using the portable app.
