I use Firefox as my browser of choice for all of the usual reasons - security, stability, extendibility …
I recently had a problem with one of my favourite add-ons after I deleted and recreated my profile. Foxmarks is a great utility that allows you to synchronise your bookmarks across multiple Firefox installations (study, laptop, work etc).
I use Foxmarks to sync with my WebDAV server over HTTPS. The problem was that when I deleted my profile and tried to set up Foxmarks, I was getting “Unknown Error 8179″ when I tried to sync. Google wasn’t helping either (hence I thought that I should post something).
The error was caused because I was using self-signed SSL certificates and I had not yet told Firefox about my own Certificate Authority. As soon as I downloaded my CA file and set it to trusted, everything worked again.
Hope this helps you.
