New firefox doesn't understand lpr?

[Bob Beck-4]

       
        It appears not to want to print anymore.

Naddy fixed this in gtk+2-2.14.5p0, make sure it is what you have
installed on your system.

Cheers!

You need to add a stupid config in /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:

gtk-print-backends = "lpr,file"

I beleieve this has been made the default recently.

I am sure there was recent discussion about README.OpenBSD.

$ grep -C4 lpr /usr/local/mozilla-firefox/README.OpenBSD  
Gtk+2 doesn't try to use LPR printing backend by default.  In order
to use LPR for printing, create ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with the following
contents:

gtk-print-backends = "file,lpr,cups"

If you want to make this change available for all users, use
/etc/gtkrc instead of ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

I'm beginning to get pissed at all the shit the firefox devs and gnome
people are putting in their software.

They are obnoxious, and no longer actually serve their users.

I've spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to coerce firefox to
accept an https self-signed certificate.

Heck, when you're trying out stuff, it's already fucking hard enough to
set up apache and get self-signed certificates. And yep, fuck jesus !
I know what I'm doing, if I really want to connect to https://localhost,
once firefox has told me the certificate is self-signed and that it can't
resolve the hostname through RDNS, I JUST WANT IT TO GET OUT OF MY FACE SO
THAT I CAN TEST STUFF !

Geeze ! looks like it's no longer possible *simply* to run https tests
without having a full network and $$$-certificates.

Nice job, mozilla foundation!

Well... this time, this has nothing to do with gnome.

        Ahh, probably old stupid amd64 libs. I wait for new build.

They no longer care about you as a user. They want the users featured in
the "I'm a PC" commercials. Those users are far more numerous, and that
matters a lot for those projects. They mean to "win" and the end
justifies the means for them. Nevermind that they are becoming the
enemy they hope to overcome. That point is completely lost on them. It's
not about being better any longer. It's just about winning.

Good rant. I believe this is the proof that noone tests their web shit
before it gets rolled out. At work we had so much pain with the certificate
stuff in FF3 that we added shitpiles of makefile magic to recycle old
certificates for our test environment (that is bootstrapped from scratch
every time, yes it's https://localhost).

Somewhat related to this thread ...

Anyone figure out how to make print-setting to save after they are
changed? e.g., ^P to get the print dialog up. Next, in the "Options"
tab in the bottom section "Header and Footer" changing what is printed
at each corner. These changes seem to apply only to the current print
job. Subsequent print requests default back to previous settings.

Also, anyone else find the fact that file-browse (html form
input-field type="file", e.g., file-attach through gmail, etc.) fields
no longer allow typing or pasting of text a slight bit irritating?
Clicking in the field, which seems grayed-out, pops open the
file-browse window/dialog. This is /the/ most annoying feature thus
far. Is there a work-around to this?

This is my first time running ff3 (on any platform). so, /i/ may be
doing things wrong (i.e., these may be user-errors)
--patrick

p.s., other that those, so far, ff3 seems to be much more responsive
and "lighter" than ff2.

I'm annoyed with firefox3.

I use LPRng and even changing to its lpr to /usr/local/bin/lpr in
about:config won't work.
I still get BSD lpr in the print dialog.

Is there any way to get rid of these horrible new icons? I'm 38 years
old, not 8 years old!
I really feel sorry for anyone with poor eyesight trying to even see
them at all!

There is a firefox2 theme for firefox3.
The theme option page won't offer you a link but the add-ons page at
mozilla has a link to themes.
I searched for firefox 3.0.4 and got a list.
