Hi again,

Thank you moderators!

As I told you before, I'd like a mozillaZine Knowledge Base account to update this article a little.

Thank you so much!

[tanstaafl]

Done.

[KNTRO]

Thank you a lot tanstaafl! I tried to thank you via PM, but it seems I can use that feature in this forum yet.

I will edit that article this some time this week.

Thanks!

If this is the wrong place for this, please post this in a proper location.

Good day. While looking thru help page; http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unresponsive_Script_Warning

I tried to use this link;
Some extensions reported having Unresponsive Script Errors
Febe http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.apps.firefox/tree/browse_frm/thread/9a255123e6d255d7/77538ef3383bc594

This open a blank page. I even tried another browser.

The "correct" link may be this one?
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla ... U7OPOOU3cJ

I think Google did some changes to the permalinks which is causing the breakage.

Hi. I came here from the "Edit" button on the wiki. I’d like to request an account to make a small change in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Window_layout ... ird#Layout

To customize the layout, use a userChrome.css file. Here are some examples:

Message pane at the top (classic view) or center (vertical view)

Code: Select all

#messagesBox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}

The example code did not work as expected in vertical view, but after some trial-and-error and digging in DXR I’ve found a variation of it that does. I’d like to replace the quoted text with:

To customize the layout, use a userChrome.css file. Here are some examples:

Message pane at the top (classic view)

Code: Select all

#messagesBox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}

Message pane at the center (vertical view)

Code: Select all

#threadPaneBox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}

Alternatively, if someone does that edit for me I don’t need an account.

Anyone else having problems with the Google Custom search? I get search hits. Using the old search works fine.
Steps to reproduce
Use any of the KB searches that use Google.
Search for Profile
Results: A new page that only shows ads, no search results.

[tanstaafl]

The google custom search has been broken for weeks, for me. I can't find any workaround (tried deleting history and cookies, different browsers), I have to use a normal google search instead.

Hi there.

Referring to the Getting_an_SMIME_certificate article

please move the TrustCenter to the "formerly offered" section.
I would also suggest moving a link to Secorio to Order page https://www.secorio.com/en/order. It redirects to Comodo anyway - https://secure.comodo.net/products/frontpage?ap=Secorio&area=SecureEmailCertificate&product=9&days=365

It was already mentioned some time ago as you see below...

Per viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1764495 the S/MIME-certificate article needs updating:

[...]

https://startssl.com still seems an alternative but encounters so heavy traffic these days that it becomes difficult to reach at all...

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_an_SMIME_certificate still mentiones http://www.trustcenter.de/en/products/t ... icates.htm which was taken over by Symantec some time ago, who closes down the service by 2014.

[LoudNoise]

Just a heads up.

As underpass has pointed out repeatedly (thanks for your patience!) , we need to rewrite / heavily modify the lightning articles on support.mozilla.org. let me know irc: rolandtanglao on #tb-support-crew or rtanglao AT mozilla.com OR simply start editing the articles,

This is from https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/St ... 2015-06-30 as reported here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2946773

I assume we will need to update our KB.

[JustTryingToHelp]

Hello! I had a question on Thunderbird passwords and the Google search lead me to mozillaZine - thanks! There's an error in the article, however, so I'm just trying to let someone know - I'm just passing through (not expecting to be a regular contributor, just trying to help ; )

The article is "Setting and changing email passwords" (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_and_c ... _passwords) - it says to go to

[Tools -> Options] -> Privacy -> Passwords -> View Saved

But it should be

[Tools > Options] > SECURITY > Passwords > SAVED PASSWORDS (not 'privacy', not 'view saved'.) That's all. (See the Mozilla kb page https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/master-password at step #6 - there's an image that clearly shows this, which is exactly how my current version of Thunderbird appears on my computer.)

Thanks!

- Suzanne.

PS - I hope this is the right place to post this - the instructions are very confusing, at least to me.

[DanRaisch]

Thanks, Suzanne. That page has been updated, including new text calling for closing and restarting Thunderbird to ensure that the old password value is cleared from memory before a new one is entered.
