causticsandHello, is there a plugin or extension or something that will, after I do a search, right click to prevent that site from showing up again in my search engine?02:20
causticsandFor instance, I'm looking for an owner's manual02:20
causticsandI search for it and the top I-don't-know-how-many sites say they have it, but are shopping sites to buy it02:20
causticsandI'm looking for something that allows me to just avoid certain sites that I've discovered aren't free02:21
causticsandor just aren't relavant to my search02:22

chrisccoulsonbdrung, there?15:29
bdrungchrisccoulson: yes15:29
chrisccoulsonbdrung, are you aware of http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/08/11/strengthening-user-control-of-add-ons/ , and the implications for packaged extensions?15:29
bdrungno15:30
chrisccoulsonbdrung, ah. so, basically, firefox disables system-wide extensions by default after upgrading to 8.015:30
chrisccoulsonand you need to opt in to new ones that are installed15:31
bdrungchrisccoulson: is there a way to tell firefox that the extension comes from the distribution?15:31
chrisccoulsonwell - "system" -> "third party"15:31
chrisccoulsonbdrung, yes15:31
chrisccoulsonbdrung, distribution, or bundled extensions installed in to $libdir (/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions on ubuntu) are exempted from the new check15:32
chrisccoulsonbdrung, firefox only considers extensions installed in /usr/share/mozilla and /usr/lib/mozilla as third-party (ie, dropped in there by some evil third party application, like skype)15:33
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure i see the point of the change tbh ;)15:33
chrisccoulsonbut i need to deal with it for our extensions for the next security update15:33
bdrungso, all our extensions are considered as third-party15:35
chrisccoulsonbdrung, yes, they are atm15:35
bdrungshould m-d put the link into /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions instead of /usr/share/mozilla for firefox?15:35
chrisccoulsonbdrung, i've already uploaded a fixed ubufox to the firefox-next PPA, but in order to make this work, i've had to use my own version of install-xpi from mozilla-devscripts15:35
bdrunghow will thunderbird behave?15:35
chrisccoulsonbdrung, thunderbird will do the same15:36
chrisccoulsoni've done this for now - http://paste.ubuntu.com/705449/15:36
bdrungwill iceweasel look into /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions?15:36
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure what iceweasel will do15:36
bdrungchrisccoulson: i am happy to apply your patch if you can make sure (= ask mike hommey) that it will work on debian too15:38
chrisccoulsonbdrung, i don't think that will work on debian. we'd probably want to abstract that out to separate debian/ubuntu configs15:39
chrisccoulson(like what is already done with xul-app-data.csv.*)15:39
chrisccoulsoni guess it would just be /usr/lib/iceweasel/extensions on debian15:39
bdrungchrisccoulson: so another row in xul-app-data.csv?15:40
chrisccoulsonbdrung, yeah, that would probably work15:41
=== micahg_ is now known as micahg
chrisccoulsonbdrung, i ended up doing it this way - http://paste.ubuntu.com/705554/19:18
chrisccoulsoni'll need to push this out to oneiric and natty with the next firefox update (and rebuild extensions against it)19:19
bdrungchrisccoulson: get_symlink_overrides is hacky19:19
bdrungchrisccoulson: we import the csv files already19:20
chrisccoulsonbdrung - where?19:20
bdrungchrisccoulson: in dh_xul-ext -> get_xul_apps19:22
bdrungwe should move that into a library19:22
chrisccoulsonbdrung, yeah, i thought about that, but the existing stuff is a lot more complicated than i needed :)19:23
chrisccoulsonand this is just so i can fix all the extensions today19:23
chrisccoulsoni don't mind doing it another way longer term though19:23
bdrungokay19:27
