I moved to Firefox 3 and so can you
I’ve been trying the newest Firefox betas for some time and I love its incredible speed and cleaner looks, but not having my extensions with me because they were incompatible with FF3 was a showstopper for me. Now however I have found a workaround:
extensions.checkCompatibility
With this value set to true in the about:config screen you can use extensions on FF3 that have not yet been enabled like the awesome Gmail Manager, All in one Sidebar and Download Statusbar. Be careful though that these have not been tested and you’ll probably run into some problems (like I did with FireBug).
If I conviced you to try Firefox 3 then there’s a super easy way to install it with one command:
wget -P ~ ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/3.0b3/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-3.0b3.tar.bz2 && tar xjf ~/firefox-3.0b3.tar.bz2 -C ~Fixing Installer.app on iPod Touch 1.1.3
- Install BossTool to free up space. Just tell it to move the Fonts and Ringtones and you shoudl have enough free space for a lot more applications.
- Reinstall Installer.app. As I said the Installer.app is somehow corrupted while jailbreaking and needs to be re-installed:
- Open Installer.app
- Go to Uninstall
- Select Installer.app
- Choose Reinstall in the upper right corner
- Exit the Installer.app by pressing Home

Back up script
#!/bin/sh
# Simple rsync "driver" script. (Uses SSH as the transport layer.)
# http://www.scrounge.org/linux/rsync.html
# Demonstrates how to use rsync to back up a directory tree from a local
# machine to a remote machine. Then re-run the script, as needed, to keep
# the two machines "in sync." It only copies new or changed files and ignores
# identical files.
# Destination host machine name
DEST="192.168.0.91"
# User that rsync will connect as
# Are you sure that you want to run as root, though?
USER="cxd"
# Directory to copy from on the source machine.
BACKDIR="/home/cxd/"
# Directory to copy to on the destination machine.
DESTDIR=/storage/`hostname`
# excludes file - Contains wildcard patterns of files to exclude.
# i.e., *~, *.bak, etc. One "pattern" per line.
# You must create this file.
EXCLUDES=/home/cxd/bin/backup-excludes
# Options.
# -n Don't do any copying, but display what rsync *would* copy. For testing.
# -a Archive. Mainly propogate file permissions, ownership, timestamp, etc.
# -u Update. Don't copy file if file on destination is newer.
# -v Verbose -vv More verbose. -vvv Even more verbose.
# See man rsync for other options.
# For testing. Only displays what rsync *would* do and does no actual copying.
#OPTS="-n -vv -u -a --rsh=ssh --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES --stats --progress"
# Does copy, but still gives a verbose display of what it is doing
OPTS="-v -u -a --rsh=ssh --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES --stats"
# Copies and does no display at all.
#OPTS="--archive --update --rsh=ssh --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES --quiet"
# May be needed if run by cron?
#export PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
# Only run rsync if $DEST responds.
VAR=`ping -s 1 -c 1 $DEST > /dev/null; echo $?`
if [ $VAR -eq 0 ]; then
rsync $OPTS $BACKDIR $USER@$DEST:$DESTDIR
else
echo "Cannot connect to $DEST."
fi
As you may have noticed, I’m not the author, but it’s distributed under the GPL and it makes backing up really easy. From now on I’ll run it on a daily basis with a cron-job. Thanks Wayne for this great help
