Foxmarks is the first extension I install every time I setup Firefox.I never have to worry about loosing my bookmarks anymore and now my passwords too!
Recently it’s being acting up with a “unknown error occurred (411)” error during setup. The workaround fortunately is quite simple.
1. Go to Tools –> Foxmarks –> Foxmarks Settings –> Advanced
2. Change encryption to “Encrypt All”.
That’s it.
The folks at dropbox released the much anticipated Linux client yesterday. Currently it’s designed as a nautilus extension. Support for Konqueror should be available soon.
The nautilus extension is opensource but the dropboxd daemon which keeps the files in sync is closed source.
Packages for Ubuntu and Fedora are available for download. For other distros you’ll need to compile from source. Go to the download page.Â
I managed to get dropbox working on my openSUSE 11 running KDE. It’s quite simple actually. You need to install the nautilus and nautilus-devel pakages before compiling the source,
1. install nautilus
root#> zypper in nautilus
2. install nautilus-devel
root#>Â zypper in nautilus-devel
3. compile the dropbox source. Make sure to be in the source folder first.
root#>Â ./configure
root#>Â make
root#>Â make install
4. start nautilus or the dropboxd daemon to initiate the dropbox client.Â
root#>Â nautilus
or
root#> cd /home/[user]/.dropbox-dist/
root#> ./dropboxd
Users on the latest Firefox 2, version 2.0.0.17 should start receiving software updates later today prompting them to upgrade to Firefox 3.
The update is automated so no user intervention is needed expect for clicking yes on the license agreement disclaimer page.
Most extensions are already Firefox 3 capable so chances of you running an outdated extension is quite slim. The compatibility checker will notify you of such cases and offer the option to have them updated.
If you can’t wait then simply go to “Help” –> “Check for updates” to start the process manually.
