What applet?

maybe applet is not the right name. It runs in the "search bar" of Firefox, and is called apparently "One-click Search engine", and is configured in "about:preferences#search". Normally you would search for new ones here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?category=search-tools&sort=recommended%2Cusers&type=extension But I find nothing "opensuse". Maybe it came preinstalled in our rpm and is not "published".

...

But there is an https://search.opensuse.org/ link. By default it searches using Google (can be changed), but clicking on "packages" it goes to:

https://search.opensuse.org/packages/

However, it I type a package name, Firefox issues this warning:

The information you have entered on this page will be sent over an insecure connection and could be read by a third party.

Are you sure you want to send this information?

So part of the page is not using https.

Correct, e.g.: ==== <a title="Screenshot of grub-customizer" rel="lightbox" href="http://software.opensuse.org/package/screenshot/grub-customizer.png"> <img class="img-fluid" src="http://software.opensuse.org/package/thumbnail/grub-customizer.png" alt="grub-customizer" /> ====

I'd consider this bugzilla-worthy.

Me too, but I don't know where to place it. Product: openSUSE Backports: openSUSE:Backports project in build.opensuse.org openSUSE Distribution: openSUSE Leap & Stable releases openSUSE Tumbleweed: openSUSE Rolling Release openSUSE.org: The openSUSE project (not the distribution) If I select the last one, I get: 3rd party software Bugzilla BuildService Documentation System Imaging Wiki None fits. Nothing in https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Submitting_bug_reports So I type "problems" in the search box. I see: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Support Nothing applies. If I look at https://search.opensuse.org/ there is no "contact us" link. There was a page in the wiki that listed different places where to report each type of problem. Where is it? Why is it so difficult to find? Google. "how to report a problem with opensuse web page" Nothing. Ok, found it, cheating: I typed "admin" after seeing the message from Per (which was what I was thinking to do, but). Found in the first 20 results: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Communication_channels Under "Contact Info" it says: To report a problem with this site or openSUSE infrastructure, contact admin@opensuse.org. Please note, this is not a tech support email address. Use one of the options shown above if you need tech support. Man, this is hard to find... And I fear to be sent to github, as happened to David Ranking recently. So I wanted to find a page that says where exactly to report problems with each webpage. Ok, I'll try admin@o.o Done. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/70180

...

And it fails to find "grub-customizer", which is here:

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Aecsos&package=grub-customizer

There's a searchplugin (or I added it with [1]) and also you can set a bookmark with this "URI":

==== javascript:q=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20software.opensuse.org','');if(q){q=q.replace(/_/g,%22%20%22);location.href='https://software.opensuse.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&baseproject=ALL&q='+encodeURIComponent(q);}else{location.href='https://software.opensuse.org/search';} ====

Change the 'baseproject=ALL' to your liking. This so called bookmarklet (and many others, e.g. for Wikipedia) work like a charm.

Yes, I remember you commented about those past month :-)

[1] Add custom search engine 2.0, see https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/add-custom-search-engine/

And solved.

Curiously, as I loaded the page in a new firefox tab, it failed (I got the warning from FF). I then forced FF to reload the page (click on reload with the shift key pressed) and this time it worked.

Why did't start a new tab work, perhaps it copied the contents from the other tab where the same page was already loaded?

I thought it died when starting a new tab.

Wouldn't be much of a cache if it did? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

https-everywhere is a browser plugin from the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) that converts and sends http requests as https instead; only if the server cannot accept the https request will it fall back to http.

I have it installed and I see exactly the same as Carlos. If I put the http URL in the browser's address bar then it will convert it, but not if it's submitted by a form on the page it seems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, ok. But it is not the point, I don't really care if it is http or https. It is only the FF complains, which means that there is something wrong in "our" page.

Yes. I'd guess that the server is not capable of accepting the https version of the request. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Your guess is wrong, as trying it for yourself would have shown.
