Mozilla Firefox-Startpage
I don't know if someone already mentioned this; if so, my excuses in advance. Nowadays, in times of NSAGHCQ cie, i'd think it would be smart, if the default Startpage of Firefox (managed in some way by ubufox i think) would not offer Google as default searchengine at first, but the choice, which searchengine should be used as default. There are absolutely valid alternatives now (duckduckgo or ixquick at least). Couldn't that be done by a link pointing to some basic privacy/security issues (like https-everywhere etc.) too in the way now it's done for the do not track feature? I thought, if someone of the people engaged in lubuntu is reading here, they could, in case they agree, advance the proposal to the ubufox people. Thanks for your patience. -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

I think this is a good idea :-) I suggest that you make it *your* project to advance such a proposal to the ubufox people.

I though that was one of the options when customizing a build of Ubuntu. We could, actually build a page that contains those search engines (both) and uses the Lubuntu logo, right? -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

Re: Mozilla Firefox-Startpage
What I know is that duckduckgo is usually a way to get to it by default in firefox on the right hand side There is a drop down menu where you can select duckduckgo by defualt. Duckduckgo by default is also useful because of the ! commands.

PCManFM actions
As you may know, PCManFM supports the use of actions or customized context menus, as Thunar does. A nice repository for PCManFM was created at the blog (thanks to Vasian). If you want to share scripts / actions, you're welcome. http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com.es/2014/03/pcmanfm-actions.html -- Rafael Laguna Lubuntu Artwork Team -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users

I just read your Blog's Post and it is not very clear if you ask me. You need to add maybe more technical details and explain better for newcomers to Linux/Lubuntu and also for existing users :) Someone for example was asking whether this feature will be only on Lubuntu 14.04 LTS or other versions? and I'm sure more Qs will come :) Just a thought :) -- Rafael Laguna Lubuntu Artwork Team Thank you! -- Ali/amjjawad https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
RE: Mozilla Firefox-Startpage
I tend to be extra paranoid, and set my Firefox homepage to a DuckDuckGo URL that specifies searches via HTTPS with the search query in the encrypted request body. If there was a way to set the search box to take advantage of this, too, I would love to know about it.

Personally, i deleted yahoo,bing,amazon from that default list and added: ixquick (https), metager (https), firefox help and leo (a vocabulary). Mycroft as a source of hundreds of searchengines is useful. Also, i'm not sure if duckduckgo (when it comes with firefox by default) is https or not. Personally, as quoted already before, i think a mini-introduction (under a link button) on how to add searchengines especially from the point of view of privacy/security would be smart. Together with mentioning https everywhere (eff.org). I think once you have installed that, any search engine would be automatically https, given it exists as such (no need of special installs).
