Thread: Add-on Error code, GUFW, Firestarter, No-scripts, Private Browsing
long time listener, first time caller...thanks having me.
experience linux, ubuntu specifically, dates saturday morning -- 2 days ago. done research , can't find answers 4 of issues below. other 2 thrown in because wanted make of post. please bear me , in advance help.
1- read 1 not need keep gufw open provide firewall service since gufw's purpose provide gui make changes iptables. true firestarter?
know through experimentation can use 1 or other , gufw it's simplicity, firestarter because shows me in simplest form current program/network activity. (i know i'm supposed keep track of it, can't make heads or tales of log file. see english words, still reads foreign language.)
2- safe keep firestarter, or other system applications, open? read since must use our password (i guess through sudo) open firestarter , like, having system application open leaves vulnerable attack. correct? can't tell read it, , can't i'm sure that's read. i've been through lot of information weekend.
3- keep getting popup (png file attached post) when attempt use add-on feature in firefox. around going add-on website add anything. still, pops every time open add-on tool/thing , can't use add-on tool install add-ons. after 'okay' out of error code, can manage add-ons.
4- using no-scripts add-on in firefox lot of work, don't mind having add sites white list. in fact, doing gives me huge sense of security (false sense or not?). however, since consider web use quite safe, no-scripts add-on must have everyone. still using it, curious impact of having off during safe/secure browsing session.
5- had firefox preferences set automatically start browser in private session not access 1 of secure sites. managed log main site (after adding few exceptions) couldn't redirect me webmail feature. unchecked auto private session option , works okay now. still got 'accept cookies' box unchecked , added site cookies exception. setup safe enough without being in 'private browser session'?
6- gufw doesn't maintain it's settings. haven't been using firestarter. check 'enable' box in gufw , exit program. unchecks on restart well. normal?
wish come clever linux quip signature i'm still new game. work on one.
