I had this working from the terminal but not from PHP’s shell_exec() and I couldn’t work out why. Thanks heaps. I’ve been stuck on this problem for way longer than I’d like to admit…

Comment on Firefox 3 – security madness by Gael

I work with FF5.0 and the issue still exist.
Thanks to Lance who give me the solution to my problem “how enable the “Permanently store this exception” checkbox ?
I wish FF alert the incompatibility between Privacy Mode Navigation and Permanently exception storage. It will save a lot of time.
Should it possible to add a fonctionality of “exception storage” independant of “navigation storage” ?

Comment on udev rules for Logitech G7 mouse by Adrian Bridgett

Well this has been broken for quite some time. I’ve finally sat down and pieced together the magic foo required to fix it now. You appear to be able to remove the udev rules (and hal has gone these days).

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section “InputClass”
Identifier “evdev mouse”
MatchProduct “Logitech USB Receiver”
MatchIsPointer “true”
Option “ButtonMapping” “1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2″
EndSection

3+ years on and still getting comments.
I didn’t read all the way to the privacy thing so added it manually per original post.
7th link in search “firefox confirm security exception grayed out”
I wonder if this has been resolved in FF5 , [rolleyes]

Comment on Puppet compatibility – or lack of by shihan

I hate these guys for not staying compatible between different versions! Every time you update a server (debian, ubuntu) you have to upgrade or downgrade puppet – most of the time manually or by using backports. Annoying and time consuming. I thought their tool should save time!

The “Permanently store this exception” checkbox seems to be grayed out whenever the browser is operating in private browsing mode.

In my case the menu option for turning off private browsing was also disabled. I fixed this by going to Tools -> Options -> Privacy and setting history to “Remember history”, after which the “permanently store exception” checkbox also was enabled.

Pshew, I hated to consider switching browsers.

I also have Firefox on Windows 7 and the option to permanently store an exception is greyed out. It is not acceptable to go through a four step process every time I go to an internal company site, so I will have to switch browsers too. Too bad, I liked Firefox until this happened.
