Q: Tab stacking/groups plugin for Firefox, that is similar to Opera's?

Opera (at least until version 12) had this great feature that let me drag a tab on top of another tab and form a stacking "group" that could retract when not needed and only take up the space of one tab. Is there a plugin for Firefox that I can use to replicate this behavior? Note that Fire...

You need to fix the certificate.

Otherwise I'm open to MITM attacks.

@NathanOsman Depends (slightly)... If it's that their issuer (Geotrust as of a few minutes ago on a desktop browser) isn't trusted by your phone's root certificates, that's sort of as much your issue as it is theirs.

That said, you seem to be on a ~Kitkat era-phone... I can't remember seeing anything about Geotrust having issues since ≤2.3

@NathanOsman Do you have some plugin installed to deny all md5 dependent certificates now that there's an md5 collision tool floating around?

Oli

@NathanOsman On reflection, it looks like it might be a chain issue. IME some browsers need the full chain, some cope with intermediaries. RapidSSL seems to be the missing link here. Squarely back in their court IMO.

List of emoticons

This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons. The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. These are commonly known as emoji. Emoticons can generally be divided into three groups: Western or Horizontal (mainly from America and Europe), Eastern or Vertical (mainly from...

Q: Is this a suitable question for Ask Ubuntu?

There is a particular font that I want to use. I don't know what it's called, but I can scan in an example. Is Ask Ubuntu the appropriate place to ask something like "Is this font available for Ubuntu, and if so, how do I install it?"

discussion font

Takkat

@blade19899 then GNOME will be bought by Microsoft and it will then be renamed to MS-GNOME (if bought by Apple then iGNOME, guess who will rename it to Gnoome).

they will not lose... and if then these ugly devices will retain their silly name for a device.

"Hey dude, you have your gnome with you?"

"Oh darn, I lost my gnome!"

I'd actually pay for a different name to these devices if I were Groupon.

Yeah if we loose, at least we won't have feet as icons anymore. Might become more popular

interesting reaction from Groupon themselves...

"Groupon is a strong and consistent supporter of the open source community, and our developers are active contributors to a number of open source projects. We've been communicating with the Foundation for months to try to come to a mutually satisfactory resolution, including alternative branding options, and we're happy to continue those conversations.

Our relationship with the open source community is more important to us than a product name. And if we can't come up with a mutually acceptable solution, we'll be glad to look for another name."

@fossfreedom Let me translate: "We keep telling these guys to piss off and let us use the name and will be happy to go on repeating that for as long as necessary".
