tabbrowser extensions question

Anyone use the tabbrowser extensions and know how to single out the "Manage Attachments" link from opening in a new tab? I looked in the options of the extensions, but couldn't figure anything out.

Check the file is correct. ie: not corrupt and from the correct source.

But how is the MD5 checksum calculated then?

edit: And talking about extensions, I have noticed the http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/ (where the link 'Get New Extensions' brings you to) does not work, but the http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions/ does work. Can I use the latter one to download and use extensions in FireFox? What are the risks?

From the file.

 

[Khayman]

there exactly the same (ftm)
can also use http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/

 

[Glaanieboy]

From the file.

What I meant was this: Using MySQL you can calculate a MD5 string with "MD5("String you want to calculate")". So if I understand it correctly, the MD5 calculator would read the entire binary contents of the file (like a biiiiiig string) and calculate a MD5 checksum from it?

edit: Thanks Khayman.

Hmmmm... old Clint Eastwood movie (when he stole that secret russian jet).

Found this...

There is an easy (temporary) fix for "No XBL binding for browser": just copy toolkit.jar\content\global\bindings to toolkit.jar\content\global\widgets

ok it worked thanks.. but whats scary is that everything is still in place... extensions, bookmarks, preferences.... i dont get it, i uninstalled, and even cleared the Reg Files.

 

[gonaads]

Is that a bad thing... or a good thing?

[edit]
One thing I did notice is all your engines, ie... dictionary, thesaurus, etc... went poof. Gotta reinstall them. Unless I find them in a folder and do the copy/paste dance.

http://texturizer.net/firefox/edit.html#profile

but i uninstalled, firefox and firebird.. deleted the reg keys, and then rebooted, then reinstalled firefox.

also that page is cut, they're getting too many hits for Firefox.. and i couldnt find a page that would display the profile information.

yes md5 takes and creates a hash based on the file. its used to check if files are complete ... very much used in lossless music trading to make sure your files are all 100% of what they should be w/ no corruption in the downloading.

Can't forget Thunderbird 0.5, which was also released simulataneously.

This release features Palm address book synchronisation, IMAP performance improvements, better LDAP support, enhanced Netscape 4.x migration, spell check/dictionary improvements, and many other bug fixes and minor tweaks.

I've never tried thunderbird. Is it any good? Anyone got any screenshots of it?

 

[Xie]

Yeah I should have grabbed Thunderbird earlier but 1) nobody here was asking about it so I didn't grab it for myself or mirror 2) I thought /. effect would have been over by now

Thunderbird works great. I only use t-bird, don't even use the mail client that comes with Mozilla anymore (it is based on that engine).
