  • Okay, I think i've added the intermediate certificate to our chain in the software. Give it a try now. The SSL labs test is no longer showing 'incomplete'.

  • Hi, I'm responsible for proxy.lib.sfu.ca. I did recently (a couple months ago) renew the SSL certificate, and basically just pasted what digicert gave us, so maybe they didn't give us the intermediate cert as part of the package. I'll read up on it …

  • Yeah, that does look like it's got some landmines in it. I've done a ton of work with elasticsearch, so that's a plus, and all my servers are debian wheezy. Might be a fun weekend project sometime, but otherwise, I'll probably just skip it unle…

  • So there's no way to cut out zotero.org completely? Hmm. So I'm basically SOL if I want to avoid storing data on USA servers entirely? How involved are we talking? "copy some files and edit a config file" involved? If you could point me to…

  • Thanks!
    in Firefox 45.1.1 ESR issues Comment by rbos June 7, 2016
  • Yeah; in a lab setting, everyone coming in is a "first" time user in the sense that they get a fresh new profile on logon. So Zotero says "hey! I'm going to be helpful!" and pops up a new tab when you start up Firefox. Which is great, don't get me w…
    in Firefox 45.1.1 ESR issues Comment by rbos June 7, 2016
  • Yeah, I think you're right; I've been installing it by allowing Firefox to install it, then modifying the first_run property (because ugh, that popups are annoying), then distributing the resulting folder to the system extensions folder for Firefox,…

  • Apparently Firefox 45+ is requiring that plugin developers sign their applications; that may be the problem. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#w_what-can-i-do-if-firefox-disables-an-ins…

  • Hi! I un-randomed the Firefox profiles, and used Group Policy Preferences to put it in place in the new un-randomed profile. So I deployed a profiles.ini in the logged-in user's Firefox folder, looking like [General] StartWithLastPr…

  • Which is what I ended up doing. Firefox now uses a hardcoded profile path and I use Group Policy Preferences to deploy the files. It seems to work.

  • Oh.. feck. Mozilla randomizes the profile name, so I can't pre-populate the files using any kind of logon script unless I also hardcode Firefox's profile path. Well, that's a problem.

  • It would probably be simpler just to copy the files rather than mess around with whatever Windows uses for symlinks, I think. So I'd need a logon script or a group policy preference that shoves the files into place for every user who logs into the m…
