firefox private browsing issue
by Eyal Lebedinsky
I thought I should ask here before logging an issue with ff.
I discovered that when I do banking in firefox [54.0 (64-bit) on f24], after I log out
and open the login page again, I am not asked for the user/pwd but am allowed straight in.
After I log out I also clear cache/cookies but I am still allowed in.
If I log out a second time then it takes.
This does not happen in a standard window.
Has anyone noticed this? Or is it likely to be a problem with the bank?

F25 -> F26 printer problems
by Wells, Roger K.
hello,
I use two printers, an HP4630 & Xerox 6655, both on networks.
They have been in use with no issues from F24 upgraded to F25. Now with
F25 upgraded to F26 there are some issues.
The machine is Thinkpad x260, running with Gnome desktop (3.24.2-1).
uname -a: Linux rwells-x260 4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 17
16:32:11 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The HP 4630 has been set up using the HP Device Manager which recognizes
it as expected.
No problem printing a test page from within HPDM
However within the "Printers" application available from Gnome "All
Settings" the 4630 "Printer Details" shows the printer address as
"localhost" (even though Cups shows the correct address) and any attempt
to print from an application, e.g. LibreOffite Writer fails. The job is
listed as "Stopped" and has to eventually be removed from the queue.
A side note: XSane has no problem using the scanner component of the
same device just as it did before the upgrades.
The Xerox 6655 printer appears with the correct IP address in the "All
Settings/Printers/Printer" dialog and any print job remains in the Job
list as "Stopped" just as in the case of the HP4630. However in this
case the job is sent to the printer. After it prints it must be
manually removed from the job list.
Anyone else seeing this?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

XFS partition restore/recovery
by Link Dupont
I have a JMicron USB RAID enclosure that is exhibiting read failures.

I ran ddrescue to block copy the device to another external USB drive. This
appears to have been successful (though not without errors). The new drive shows
an identical UUID to the original.

I'm still unable to mount the file-system on sdc1.

I tried xfs_repair with -L to destroy the log. The file-system does clean, but
when it mounts, there's nothing present; no files or directories. Not even an
lost+found.
I feel like at least some of data is still accessible, considering I was able to
block-copy the file-system from one drive to another. But I can't seem to
rebuild the inode table.
Does anyone have any experience or pointers on recovering XFS partitions?

Correction -Firefox/TLS Handshake -
by Bob Goodwin
When I address Firefox to https://www.google.com I get a message at the
bottom of my screen "Performing a TLS handshake to www.google.com" and
it looks like nothing more than that is ever going to happen ...
Is this some new feature I need to deal with, I believe there was a
Firefox upgrade this morning when I did the usual dnf upgrade. Whatever
it's a problem for doing a search with Google.
Am I the only one seeing this and what do I need to fix?

why doesn't GRUB obey /etc/default/grub?
by Tim
By now we've seen a few postings that you can't customise grub the way
that it's meant to be done (by modifying /etc/default/grub) as the
processes used by "dnf update ..." ignore it.
Why doesn't this work the way that it's meant to?

I have lost the ability to resize windows with alt-middle click
by Matt Morgan
Starting maybe a few days ago, holding Alt near the corner of a window and
middle-clicking, which used to turn the cursor into a window-resizer, no
longer does anything. I tried other variants (other buttons, the Super key)
and none seem to do it.
Any suggestions for how to get it back? This is F25 and I update regularly.
Thanks,
Matt

Please make DeltaRPM for all minor and revision versions of a
Firefox release
by Farhad Mohammadi Majd
Hello, size of Firefox package in Fedora/CentOS is double (89M)
compared with another Linux distros, this is very huge, currently
DeltaRPM for Firefox is available only from last update to current
update! this means if the user don't/can't update the Firefox for only
one time, he needs to download huge data, this costs bandwidth and
traffic use for both the client and the repository provider this is an
acute problem, because Firefox rapid release which Fedora only offers
it, has very fast updates.
I beg you provide DeltaRPM for all minor and revision versions of
Firefox within one release, or provide Firefox ESR instead, I have
currently Firefox 54.0-2 and there is a available update for 54.0.1-1,
and if I want to keep the Firefox up-to-date I must download a very
huge package (89M) just for a minor update! this is a disastrous
situation!! I really can't continue to use Fedora if this problem don't
solved.
