Fitur sebanyak itu menjadikan Netter semakin cinta dengan Mozilla Firefox. Tapi, apakah tidak ada kekurangan di dalamnya. Tentunya masih banyak kekurangan, karena tiada sesuatu pun di dunia ini yang sempurna baik di dunia nyata maupun di dunia maya. Mengingat si mozilla menggunakan Bahasa Alien, maka fitur demi fitur tersebut dapat disimak uraiannya pada website resminya.


Java versi 6.0.03 tidak kompatibel dengan Mozilla Firefox 6.0. Begitu pun dengan beberapa Plugin lainnya (cek kesesuaiannya disini). Lalu apa tindakan kita bila menemukan hal seperti ini. Bilamana tidak ingin repot, biarkan saja perihal tersebut terjadi sembari menunggu Mozilla Coorporation atau pun Sun Microsystems memperbaiki Firefox dan Java Console. Namun bila Anda merasakan hal itu amat mengganggu, kembalilah menggunakan Mozilla Firefox jadul semisal Firefox 5.0.1. Tindakan lainnya yakni melaporkan Bugs kepada Mozilla disini atau berikan saran pendapat kalian disini.

Sobat Netter dan sobat Blogger yang berminat mencoba, dapat mengunduh filenya secara gratis sesuai bahasa yang kalian inginkan di website resmi Mozilla Coorporation atau mirror yang disediakan Ambae.exe. Selamat menjelajah...!!!

Flock connected with Social Network

With so many social-networking services in existence, it can be a real struggle keeping on top of all your memberships. It’s possible to lose a lot of time each day reading messages on numerous websites or constantly checking for the latest updates from all your friends.

Flock is a Firefox-based web browser designed to make it easier to work with social networks, such as Facebook and Myspace, sites with social-networking elements, such as Youtube, as well as simplifying the process of writing new posts on a blog. In addition to this Flock includes tools for handling RSS feeds and media files, but despite all of these social network-specific tools, it still functions perfectly well as a standard web browser.

Use an existing web browser such as Firefox or Internet Explorer to pay a visit to the Flock website at www.flock.com. Click the orange Get Flock Now button in the upper right-hand corner of the page and then opt to save the file to the Windows Desktop. Once the download is complete, double-click the file and click Next to start running through the installation process. When the program has been installed, ensure that the box on the final screen is ticked and click Finish to launch Flock.

Flock will immediately offer to import settings from any other currently installed web browser. So select the browser from which bookmarks, settings and browsing history should be imported and click Next. Flock can then be configured to automatically load the Flock website when it is launched, or the home page of the browser from which settings have been imported ­– this can be changed from within Flock later on if necessary. Click Next followed by Finish and the basic configuration of the program is complete.

The first time Flock is launched, a message will appear asking if it should be made the default browser. Flock can be used as an everyday web browser, or purely as a browser for social networking. Either way, it will happily live happily alongside any other installed browser. So tick or untick the box to indicate whether or not Flock should regularly check to see if it is the default web browser and then click either the Yes or No button as required.

Now pay a visit to a social-networking site such as Facebook (www.facebook.com) or Myspace (www.myspace.com) and log into your account. Providing that a supported social network has been visited, Flock will detect that the site is in fact a social network and any contacts which have been added will be displayed in a sidebar to the left of the screen. A yellow information bar at the top of the page offers to keep the contacts for this social network in the sidebar ­– just click Remember Account to do so.

As more supported sites are visited and the account settings remembered, different information will be displayed in the People sidebar. In the case of Digg (www.digg.com), links to messages from friends are displayed along with buttons that make it possible to view stories you have rated or submit the currently displayed page to Digg. Notice that the People sidebar starts to accumulate tabs at the top to allow for navigation between different online services and the information and options associated with them.

Many sites with social-networking elements, such as Youtube (www.youtube.com), include a search facility. This will be detected by Flock when such a site is visited and the browser will offer to add this search engine to the search box. To do this, click the orange icon featuring a magnifying glass that appears to the left of the address bar at the top of the screen and click the entry in the menu that appears. Use the search bar in the upper right of the screen to enter a search term and select a search site from the dropdown menu.

Social-networking sites which integrate with Flock provide a quick and easy way to send messages to contacts. Rather than having to copy and paste the address of a website that you’d like to share with someone, Flock provides a faster option. With the relevant tab of the People sidebar loaded, drag and drop the icon that appears immediately to the left of a site’s URL in the address bar on to one of the sidebar contacts. This will then open a message containing a link to the relevant site ­ all that’s left to do is click Send.

Many social-networking sites allow for the uploading of photos to a profile. Here again Flock can simplify the process. When the time comes to upload files, batch uploading proves much faster than uploading files individually. Click the Open Photo Uploader button (the final button featuring an upwards-pointing arrow in the toolbar immediately above the People sidebar) and use the dropdown menu at the bottom of the screen to select the social network to which the files are to be uploaded.

Now, either click the Choose Photos button and navigate to the folder containing the desired images, or open the relevant folder and drag and drop the images on to the Photo Uploader window. Once this has been done, the Batch tab can be used to add the same tags to all the images, while the Photo tab can be used to assign individual tags as well as performing basic edits such as cropping and rotating. Check the settings, which will vary by social network.

Flock can also be used to post to blogs hosted by services such as Wordpress, Blogger and Livejournal. Visit the site in question and opt to remember the account settings. Now click the Open Blog Editor button (the penultimate button in the toolbar immediately above the People sidebar) and use the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor to compose a new post. Text can be formatted and images added using the toolbar buttons. Once editing is complete, click the Publish button to add the post to your blog.

To make it easier to track down new media content online, Flock includes the Media Minibar. To display this, click the View menu and select Minibar followed by Media Bar. From the Media Streams dropdown menu, select the desired websites and indicate the type of content that should be displayed by clicking the relevant option in the submenu. Here we’re viewing photos from Flickr.com. Media thumbnails can be viewed in the top portion of the browser window. Clicking one of these will load the associated photo or video file.

To browse pictures and videos that have been uploaded by a particular user, click the orange icon that appears in the address bar –­ this indicates that a media stream is available. The stream can then be accessed from the Media Streams menu. The Media Minibar can also be used to search social media sites. Enter a search term in the box to the upper right of the minibar and use the dropdown menu to select which site to search before pressing Enter.

Many websites offer RSS feeds which can be used to keep up to date with the latest additions to the site. When a feed is detected, an orange RSS icon will appear to the left of Flock’s address bar. Click this icon followed by the name of the feed and then the Subscribe button. RSS feeds that have been subscribed to can be accessed by clicking the Open Feeds Sidebar button in the Flock toolbar. Individual stories can then be read by clicking one of the headlines.

A handy overview of the sites that are being tracked by Flock can be seen by visiting the My World page. This can be accessed by clicking the first button in the Flock toolbar. The page that loads will display a list of RSS feeds that have been subscribed to, media streams from selected sites and information about contacts on various social networking sites. With all these extra features, it is all too easy to forget that Flock can also be used as a standard web browser to visit any website or maintain a list of favourites –­ there is even support for Firefox add-ons.

Secure your Emails

If you are concerned about the privacy of your email messages then worry no more. It’s relatively easy ­ and free ­ to protect email correspondence so that the contents remains hidden from everyone except the person who wrote it and the person they send it to.

In this Workshop we’ll look at how anyone can use the Thunderbird email program to protect their privacy in three steps ­ by downloading the encryption program, installing Thunderbird and then installing a little add-on program that makes them work together.

Before starting out, bear in mind that encryption like this only works if both sender and receiver have installed and set up the required software, so you may find it helpful to pass this Workshop to those you correspond with regularly.

Begin by downloading the GNU Privacy Guard by clicking the link above. Ignore any security warnings and click the Save button and then choose a download location for the software and click Save again. Double-click the new icon on the Windows Desktop to install the software and if Windows displays a security warning, just click Run. Then follow the defaults to install the software. If you’d prefer to locate it manually, got to www.gnupg.org. Click the Binaries link on the left-hand side to skip down to the relevant part of the page. Find the link labelled ‘GnuPG 1.4.9 compiled for Microsoft Windows’ and, to start the download, click the FTP link to the right of this label.

Accept all of the defaults and click Finish to conclude the installation. Next, install the Thunderbird email program, a free alternative to Outlook Express. Load your web browser again and go to www.mozillamessaging.com/thunderbird. Click the download button, ignore any security warnings and download the program to the Desktop. Once it’s there, double-click the icon and follow the prompts to install Thunderbird, accepting all of the defaults and then clicking the Finish button at the end.

Thunderbird offers to import your settings from Outlook Express. We don’t need to for our purposes, so we’ve selected ‘Don’t import anything’ and clicked Next. At the Account Wizard screen we’re going to set up a Google Mail (Gmail) account ­ if you create another kind of email account the process will be slightly different, though the principles will be the same. Click Next. Enter the details of the email account (get these from your provider) and click Next again. Finally, click Finish to open the account and download your emails.

If the email account needs a password, type it in and click OK. Then click OK again. Now we’ve got the encryption software and the email program ­ next we need an add-on called Enigmail to make them work together, so switch back to your web browser and go to www.snipca.com/X36. At the site, choose Windows as the operating system and select the correct version of Thunderbird (ours is version 2.0). Right-click on the download link and choose Save Target As from the menu that is displayed.

Download Enigmail to the Desktop and once it’s there, switch back to Thunderbird and then click on the Tools menu and choose Add-ons. When the Add-ons dialogue box opens, click the Install button at the bottom left. Use Windows’ file commands to navigate to where Enigmail was downloaded, select it and then click Open. Back at Thunderbird, the Software Installation dialogue box will appear. Click the Install Now button to add Enigmail to Thunderbird. Finally, click the Restart Thunderbird button to finish the installation.

When Thunderbird restarts it will have a new menu item ­ OpenPGP. Click this and then choose Key Management from the menu. The first thing we need to do is set up a key for this email account that we can send to other people as proof of our identity. Since we may want to set up other keys for different email accounts and the wizard only loads the once, we’ll select the manual configuration option and click Next. Then we can click Finish. This opens the Key Management dialogue ­ click Generate and choose New Key Pair.

If there’s more than one email address on the PC, select the correct one from the dropdown menu. Then, make up a passphrase (password) and type it in twice. This can be anything you like but it must be kept private and you must not forget it ­ if you forget the passphrase you won’t be able to open encrypted emails. By default, Enigmail will make the key expire after five years, though that can be changed here. When you have done this, click the Generate key button.

When the confirm dialogue box appears, click Yes. After a moment, the key will be generated and Enigmail will recommend that you create what’s called a ‘revocation certificate’ that can be used to invalidate the key if it gets lost or compromised ­ this is a good idea, so click Yes. Use Windows’ file commands to store it somewhere easy to find like the Desktop and at a later date, move it to a USB key for safe keeping. To complete the creation of the certificate, type in your passphrase and click OK.

Click OK again. Now, since it takes two to send and receive encrypted emails, let’s imagine our friend User has followed this Workshop and is at the same stage as us ­ that means we’ve each got a public key that proves who we are and a private passphrase. Let’s send our public key to her and then have her confirm that it’s genuine. Click the OpenPGP menu and choose Key Management. We highlight her email address and then choose Send Public Keys by email from the menu. Address the email as normal ­ note that the key is added as an attachment. Click Send.

When the message arrives at User’s PC, she right-clicks on the attachment and chooses Import OpenPGP Key. After a moment the confirmation dialogue tells her the key has been imported and when she switches back to the Key Management window, she will see that it has been added to the list. There are other ways to exchange and validate keys using what are called ‘public servers’ that allow security-conscious emailers to upload their public keys so that anyone can access them. The way we’ve shown here is more suitable for two people who want to pair securely with each other.

Next, User has to confirm both the owner of the key and its validity ­ there’s no point in accepting a key of dubious origin. Because she knows it came from us, she can right-click on its entry in the Key Management list and choose Sign key. When the dialogue opens, she can select the highest level of trust ­ ‘I have done very careful checking’ ­ and then click OK. Then she right-clicks the name in the list again and chooses Set Owner Trust. At the dialogue, she selects the owner from the list and chooses ‘I trust ultimately’ and then clicks OK.

When both parties and have sent each other their public keys and confirmed that they’re genuine like this, they can start sending each other encrypted emails. Just create a message as normal and then click on the OpenPGP button on the button bar and choose Encrypt Message from the dialogue box and click the OK button. This will encrypt the message so that if anyone intercepts it, the message text appears as nonsense and they won’t be able to decipher it.

Click the Send button as normal to send the email and then, when the Key Selection dialogue box appears, put a tick in the box next to the name of the person the email’s being sent to ­ in our case it’s User ­ and then click OK. The message will be sent. At the other end, when User receives the message and tries to open it, she’ll be asked for the password ­ or passphrase ­ that she created when she set up her key. We created ours back in Step 7.

Here’s the decrypted message. There’s lots more to say about OpenPGP encryption, but that’s enough to get two people who want to send messages to each other securely off to a good start. One last thing, by default, OpenPGP will ask for your passphrase every time the PC has been left idle for five minutes. Change this by clicking the OpenPGP menu and choosing Preferences. From here it’s easy to increase the idle time so OpenPGP doesn’t keep asking for the passphrase all the time.
