Ok, posted the file now. The support form is working.

Hey - clicking on the "Contact Support" link here -
http://www.xobni.com/support
shows a message
"That node is broken, sorry. Please restart."
Where do I send the zip file?

Will do -
Xobni shows the attachment in the preview window - when looking at one individual email. But the Files Exchanged pane shows 0.
It shows me files from another PST that I have open-it's an old backup. But it doesnt show me the files from the live connected server - perhaps because there's no PST configured to it? Outlook only keeps its own cache in a PST - but that's not a file I created and it's not attached specifically to the profile.

Apparently there is a bug for this already!
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug...

Got a new laptop, clean install of 3.5 and still crashing - happened many many times.
Usually on startup - then it struck me!
I disabled Auto Proxy Config URL and used the manual proxy config - hasnt crashed in 2 days! All plugins and add-ons are enabled.

Crashed again regardless of plugins

UPDATE: I disabled the "Mozilla ActiveX control and plugin support" - plugin. It hasn't crashed since then - been 2 hours. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Correct your system date

The security certificate has a validity date (as mentioned in the error), if your system time is ahead of that date, the browser shows the certificate as expired.

All you need to do is to correct the date and time in the windows clock from the system tray.

----------------------------------------

Cause
This happens mainly because we use the system tray clock/calendar to see a future date and when we are done, we click "OK" instead of "Cancel". This sets the system date to whatever we were looking at.

This is a usability problem, not your fault! Windows has conditioned us to click on "OK" when we are done with a task.

Long term solutions
Microsoft could handle this by having the user put the clock in edit mode before changing the date or time.
A lot of user's use it as a calendar + we don't change the date/time very often - so the editing functionality does not need to be so easy accessible.

In the meanwhile, browsers which release versions and patches more often than an operating system, could have the user check for the system date/time as a possible solution to this error.

That's exactly my thought, how about a command that can query a specific Yahoo Pipe? That way you could mash up whatever your favorite search engines and parameters were and then just query that one Pipe.

Pipes has a "Get as RSS" feature that is basically a parametrized URL, and each pipe has it's own web address...so it should be simple enough to target that address and feed it the parameters typed in by the user.

For eg. "pipe news about mozilla" where 'news' could be a short name for a pipe that you subscribe to and 'about' a keyword (like 'to' for email) if left blank, it could just show the top 5 news articles.

See http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run...

I guess the tricky part is subscribing to a 'specific' Pipe, that could be achieved by 'cloning' a pipe and giving it a short name. For eg, the cryptic URL for the pipe I have can become simpler like
http://pipes.yahoo.com/sammy/news (this is achieved by cloning a pipe and then editing it's name, which Pipes allows you to do quite easily) the query is still run against the '_id' parameter, but now it has a short name that can be found by having the user logged in to Pipes.

Any idea if this is as simple as I make it sound? ;)
