[Bug 833952]

2012-12-18 Thread Ron Wolf
(In reply to Markus Fischer from comment #29)
 (In reply to Ron Wolf from comment #28)
 
 I've been using this dialog since , I guess, five or more years (feels to me
 like I've always used it, don't know). It brought me great awareness but
 also annoyance.
 
 I switched my mentality: don't accept cookies, unless required. By using
 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-controller/ , I'm able
 place easy accessible buttons which allow me to a) enable it for session
 only or persistently and b) easily allows me removing site-specific or all
 session cookies.
 
 I don't operate on Dialogs with this add-on but only on the icons in my
 toolbar. YMMV. HTH

Marcus,

Thank you for the pointer to cookie-controller, much better!!! Almost
good enough. Don't know why I didn't think to look for an add-on, maybe
assumed that cookie mgmt is a core browser function and didn't think
add-on. Anyway, thx!!!

So then two additional comments:

1) The cookie-controller add-on is SO MUCH BETTER than FF's built-in
cookie mgmt that I suggest dropping the idea of fixing FF's built in
function and instead incorporate cookie-controller in the mainstream
release. If you like, I'll generate a long list of how cookie-controller
add-on is better.

2) I don't find the essential and documented same as the previous
session cookie controller option. Marcus? Do you see this option? Maybe
I'm just missing it???

[Bug 833952]

2012-12-18 Thread Ron Wolf
(In reply to D. Hugh Redelmeier from comment #30)
 I'm getting a particularly frustrating variant of this problem with firefox
 17.0 on 64-bit Fedora 17 Gnome.
 
 I get a stack of these cookie confirmation dialog boxes and I wish to click
 allow for Session on each of them.  The top of the stack won't take a
 click!  If I drag the FF window, some of the stack of dialog boxes moves,
 and some doesn't.  Then, at least one of the visible boxes can be clicked
 and dismissed.
 
 Observation 1: the biggest surprise is that the box that I can click after
 this maneuver seems to have the same contents as the former top box that was
 unresponsive.  I wonder if the display was not correctly rendered before the
 maneuver.
 
 Observation 2: if the cookie dialog box were not modal (is that the correct
 term?) and each of them would take clicks at any time, the order of the
 stacking would not be so critical.
 
 Right now, I feel like I'm in a game of Adventure (twisty little passages,
 all alike) and I don't want to be.

Yes, this is the bug that is being complained about here. Nasty. Suggest
you take Marcus'  (as I have) and install the https://addons.mozilla.org
/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-controller/ add-on.

[Bug 833952]

2012-11-25 Thread Ron Wolf
Apologies if this is not the proper kind of message to leave here, I
want to put in a plea for addressing this problem. Being able to choose
which cookies to accept (or not) is an important privacy feature and one
that, as a user, I've invested a lot of time in. In the course of web
use, I have accepted thousands of cookies and rejected thousands more.
I'm not the only one, many friends and co-workers also go thru this pain
in order to preserve some semblance of privacy while also being able to
interact successfully with the many websites that have become an
essential part of our lives.

But the irritation of using this feature in its current half-implemented
form, is torture. For instance, every time I start FF, it asks about the
doubleclick.com cookie and every time, I click to not accept and the
remember decision is clicked. Yet FF asks me the next time FF is
started. Its not just doubleclick.com, this happens for every website I
use. remember decision seems to be just for the current session. well,
not even that, because sometimes i get asked even for cookies from sites
that i've already responded to in the current session.

and yes, the multiple pop-ups for multiple cookies from the same site
(which is what i think this bug report specifically addresses) is beyond
annoying.

i'm sure that this is not easy to address, requiring a new interface and
perhaps a new model. but pls do this as my other options are to accept
all cookies (NO!) or try another browser. as a devoted FF user, i don't
want to do that. not clear that other browsers do much better at this
anyway...

[Bug 1021720] Re: gedit hangs opening some files

2012-07-30 Thread Ron Wolf
I also have this problem, so, apparantly, its not unique to
aloctavodia's system. Ubuntu 12.04, gedit 3.4.1, amd64 processor. Let me
know if you'd like more info and how to generate it for you.
Specifically, I was looking at several .doc files, none of them massive
(less than 200kB).

[Bug 951709] Re: Atheros AR9485 WiFi card on Acer Aspire One 722 works slow, sometimes crashes

2012-07-10 Thread Ron Wolf
Um, never mind about the hopeful comment regarding being able to move
the network boot from first in boot order. That seemed to be OK thru
multiple test boots including a complete power down/up. But, for
whatever reason, the next day the freezing when Unity started behavior
was consistently back. So I once again moved the netboot to first in the
boot order and, several days later, all still seems to be OK.

[Bug 951709] Re: Atheros AR9485 WiFi card on Acer Aspire One 722 works slow, sometimes crashes

2012-07-06 Thread Ron Wolf
Perhaps it will be helpful to note that,  just as Jaime Alberto Silva
(jaimealbertosilva)  found, turning off the hardware encryt has worked
wonders for me., My network performance (as seen from just general use
of FF) went from spotty and slow to lightening fast. I was also able to
move the network boot from first in the boot order which also leads to
faster cleaner boots (especialy when ethernet is plugged in). After much
searching and reading about this problem, this simple fix does the
trick. To be more specific, I am on a fairly fresh 12.04 with all (as
far as I can tell) recommended updates applied. As found on

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?mode=hybridt=1942326highlight=atheros+acer+722

I first tried these commands:

sudo modprobe -rfv ath9k
sudo modprobe -v ath9k nohwcrypt=1

with functionally great results and then

made it permanent by creating the file

/etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

and adding this line (followed by a cr which i'm not sure was
needed...)

options ath9k nohwcrypt=1

i then moved the netboot from first in the boot order and all still
works great!

just for the record:
