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.
Just wanted you to know that you solved the same problem for me. THANK YOU.
