Ubuntu On A Phone Or Firefox OS: Which Scares iPhone And Android Most?

But while the presentation was littered with references to Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS, it failed to mention another potential rival – Firefox OS.

[ubuntu] Chrome Firefox extensions problem

I have for some time suspected that web sites would modify web browsers for their own purposes

this essay tends to confirm that, in spades Reference C/Net 2012-12-26

worse, it seems they let the "extension" (un authorized program) install itself and then graciously "permit" the owner to "authorize" it — or leave it suspended

to me program modifications should be blocked, period. otherwise it leaves us to ask: what all is our browser actually doing ? it executes using the logged on user’s authority and thus has access to everything the logged on user has access to .

[ubuntu] Ubuntu 11.04: connection problem from Firefox 5

Hi,

I have a strange problem with Firefox. I’m on Ubuntu x64 11.04 and from Firefox 5 I have a problem to navigate. I can use Firefox normally for a variable time and suddenly it can’t connect to any page. I think that the source of problem is in the proxy, because if I use Firefox without proxy all works well. I have tried to change the network setting from auto-detect configuration, use system configuration to manually configuration but nothing change. Before the problem began, I was using the use system configuration option. I’m sure that the my network doesn’t have any problem because with the others browser all works well.
What do you think?

Thank
