alternatives to netscape.security.PrivilegeManager

I have an application that runs in the browser, when I updated Firefox I get the message...
"TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is not defined.

Read the other posts, it seems that this feature has been removed.

Is there a work around? For example is there any setting in all: config I can add to reactivate?

If not, can you tell me the latest version of FF that supports it and I'll come back to that.

Note that I don't make a firefox extension, so the development of add-on is not relevant for me. The app runs on a separate FF on a limited number of webisites course profile, so security is not a concern.

I'm just a user, so I can't give a definitive answer, but judging by the long discussion in bug #546848 that is gone for good and it doesn't seem to be a chance that it will be reimplemented. the reasoning of mozilla to remove netscape.security.PrivilegeManager, please refer to the 57 comment in the bug report...

  • When opening firefox, a box pops up: [error JAva.script:] "TypeError: netscape.security.PrivilegeManager is not defined.

    Using windows 7 Home premium svc pack 1 64-bit. After that my last windows update the above issue appears when you first start of firefox. Can I close the error msg and it seems that everything works fine. It's boring, but my major concern is security. Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: Firefox > quit Firefox. Linux: Firefox/file > exit)

  • Browser Interface Alternative (Hosted Email Security)?

    Is there an alternative to the interface of the web browser for the Hosted Email Security?  Currently, it's a little hard to use interface of the browser for some of the following (but not limited too...)

    1. Very slow page load time
    2. The columns cannot be moved and/or width cannot be adjusted
      1. In areas of audit or junk mail box, the "from" field almost always needs more hovered to see the popout.  Long lists are much easier to post "in brief"... the popout is very inconvenient.
      2. In the boxes for approval all THE fields must be consulted via the popout by placing the cursor on the topic... once again, no other choice 'at a glance'.
    3. Too short login admin time.  (It's adjustable)?
      1. If I am active in the Junkbox, I always get connected.

    I do not yell as much as I'm looking for solutions.  The interface works, but it could be improved.

    On the 'reverse', I like the address book import/export.  It is very fast and automatically removes duplicates.  Well done!

    There is always room for improvement.

    Insofar as the fields of audit and the junkbox, I suggest to ask your sales representative to file a feature request for this. We had a side support for awhile.

    Sale feature request go directly to product managers where as those of support go to engineering.

    Certain areas of the user interface, it will be a bit slow at the moment.

    Whenever you visit a page, that the system needs to sort your data specific to the display of all customers who use the Hosted Email Security.

    This should improve the wire when improvements are made to the user interface.

  • Activate the default privileged code. Firefox > = 22

    Time: How can I activate default privileged code (in Firefox 22 or newer)?
    Since this is only for local purposes, on several lab computers - I can change all the files of Firefox.

    If you have questions 'why?' or answers unrelated to Firefox:
    I use a preferred code of the normal site (open locally the file on the local computers only), and since Netscape.Security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("universalbrowserread") disappeared from Firefox I can not run the privileged code of normal content after 17 versions.
    I need to activate some features like access drawWindow and normal page file by default.
    Use scripts that allow the user (in the laboratory on lab computers) to enter the normal sites, collect data on user's activities, connect you to what has been clicked, but to take screenshots of the Web page after the action, to record images on hard drive.
    Users are essentially stable in view of pages Web - UX testing and Firefox much help (ed?) with this type of test.

    But I don't really have such opportunities as rewrite all plugins or take screenshots that are manually or something like Greasemonkey.
    Other options, like the camera or software to the registration screen are also not possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    That is not intended as humour, but supposed to be taken very seriously.

  • How I replication address the security of transport (or how users can implement custom replication transport)

    I would like to put in place strong mutual authentication and encryption for replicated data and manage it in the application controls. (That is, not by using a VPN connection or other mechanism of the application could not apply on its own.)

    It would be nice if I done this sort of thing automatically, but in the interest of flexibility and simplicity, it seems it would be reasonable that I to allow a user to managing low-level message passing and sleep with any security or integrity checks which were appropriate.

    Is it possible now?  It seemed that there was a level of support for transport provided by the user in the past.

    To add to the remarks of Marc, there was some thought and effort put into the pluggable teapot, but there have only been a start in this direction so far.  I think it would be possible, for example, add support for Kerberos and secure transportation provided by the user in the future if that made him highest on our list of priorities.

    You have a specific need for an alternative implementation of security beyond (rightly) pointing out the merits of a pluggable approach?

    P.S. I think we used 'SSL' rather than 'TLS' to match the name in the JDK classes and to use terminology better known to the general public.

    P.P.S. The NoSQL product layers also its own authentication mechanism of client on top of the SSL part.

  • error message "browser" too recent for the password Bank

    I am running Vista on my laptop, just updated my browser and I get the following error message

    I can't save my passwords or usernames. Is there a way I can fix this?

    I am running Vista on my laptop, just updated my browser and I get the following error message

    "too recent browser to the password Bank"

    I can't save my passwords or usernames. Is there a way I can fix this?

    I strongly suggest that you do not use the browser to store the passwords and login credentials.  It's not safe, and if you lose the laptop (or get hacked) your passwords may be disclosed.

    There are at least two very good alternatives, which are secured.  LastPass and KeePass.  Both are highly rated and store your passwords in encrypted form.  I prefer LastPass myself, but you should check in together.
  • WiFi does not connect to the home network

    IM currently problems with my wifi on my new z3 compact network.

    My compact z3 is able to find the wifi network & shows an excellent signal, I get the password to try to connect but just z3 keeps alternating between safe, secured with wpa/wpa2 & getting ip address...

    I tried to reset the router, phone that allowed me to use wifi, but a day later I'm back to the problem off z3 does not connect to wifi. All other devices connect without any problem at all.

    Any help would be appreciated & ty in advance.

    Do you know if there is no limit on the number of devices that you can connect to your ISP network and the internet? Also make sure that DHCP is enabled in your network and you do not have any MAC-filter in the network.
    Alternatively, you can try to manually specify an IP address that can be used in your network in the phone. Tap and hold the network, select Modify network, then check Show advanced options and set a static address.

    More than likely the XP box is behind a firewall/router which does not pass traffic GRE protocol 47 . You can test the VPN PPTP link by running the test detailed in the traffic VPN PPTP Ping and secitons on this page.

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb877965.aspx

    GRAP the pptpsrv.exe and pptpclnt.exe programs on the internet or from a CD of XP SP2. If the tests fail work arounds include...

    * Update the firmware on the router to a version known to pass traffic GRE protocol 47.

    * Flashing the router, if supported, with third-party firmware like DD - WRT that supports passing traffic GRE protocol 47.

    * Buying a router known to pass the GRE protocol traffic.

    * Use an alternative such as Secure Shell [SSH] and a free SFTP client such as WinSCP or TBM for secure remote access to files and folders or Remote Desktop/access control to computers on office's LAN.

  • Z10 lost blackBerry voicemail icon

    Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered before, but please can someone help I am 60 more over the years, remember chalk & slate to school!, anyway some how I deleted my voicemail icon who was sitting at the top of the list of my fav you know 3 squares of the call list.  I tried the wipe which took forever, it returns after the wipe for a brief moment only to disappear again. Need help, please don't tell me that it can not be replaced if BB must be able to find away to do. Because I can't believe that with all that is on the phone that a simple icon cannot be replaced, the poor design of BB if so., TKS

    It is a known problem.  If you have a backup before you delete the icon of your VM restore data from the application that will restore the icon.  The alternative is currently security wipe your device to bring back the icon.

    If you do not want to and you want just a VM icon until this problem is corrected then you can creae a contact that has your VM phone # a break and your inside password and assign this contact to your speed dial.

  • An alternative to the Captcha security code?

    I wonder if there is a great alternative to the graphic Captcha security code. I work with DW8 (8.0.2) on a Mac (PowerPC G4 or Intel Duo system processors).

    I'd like some URL links to either of these alternatives to continue my research and testing and assessments. Thanks in advance, DWD

    My views on my first answer: a CAPTCHA is a acceptable but not-very -.
    good alternative to solve a problem of crises. The writeup at
    Wikipedia is good:

    http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha

    I heard about some alternatives:
    -For the moment, the bots do not understand javascript or
    sessions/cookies. So, you can:
    -Start a session. As long as your (probably human) visitor
    cookies enabled (most seem to), you can set a session variable and
    Check for that on the form processing page.
    -Set a cookie. Comparable to the definition of a session. With both, you run the
    low risk of losing messages due to visitors to the site with cookies to close
    offshore.
    -Write a hidden using javascript (external) field. There is a risk
    visitors with js turned off.
    -Add a drop-down list saying something like 'I'm not a bot:

    Then in your form processing script, check that okayToSend has the value
    "it doesn't matter".
