Been meaning to post a link to this very good article about encryption I came across towards the end of last year via a Mozilla blog. The article is well written and explains in an easy to understand way on how encryption works (and where the break down occurs). Benlog > encryption is (mostly) not magic.

For those of you who recently updated to Firefox 11 and have discovered the changes Mozilla has made with the way standalone images (right-clicking on an image and selecting ‘view image’), here is an add-on that ‘fixes’ this for you. Old Default Image Style restores the Firefox 10 and older style of viewing standalone images. Even better, this add-on does not require a restart, simply install and you are ready to go instantly. Thanks to ringokaori for the tip.

I tried to restart Thunderbird but noticed even though I had clicked the restart it was still running in the background. After killing the process and restarting Thunderbird it acted like Lightning was not even installed (no calendar options). I…

Now that Thunderbird 11 has been officially release, the complaints are rolling in…
