What is on Your Mind?

Hi folks,


Some companies, including mine, disable the cookies on browser (I suppose) making their staffs unable to send/receive online mails other than their own. I even can't read webmails on my own server. I tried going through other proxy servers but without result. Is there anyway to breakthrough this barrier? TIA

Install another browser instance.

Hi bakunin,


Thanks for your advice.

Your suggestion is difficult to work here because in work the computer is not under my control. If I'm allowed to intall a new browser, I'm allowed to reset the property of the running browser.

Not necessarily: you can install a firefox instance also as user, you just have to specify your users home directory as destination for the binaries as well as the cache directories. Usually the binaries are installed in /usr or /usr/local, now they will have to go to ~/bin/ff or something such. Adjust your $PATH variable so that it finds your local copy before the "official" one:

before:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:<some other dirs>

after:
PATH=/home/myuser/bin/ff:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:<some other dirs>

I hope this helps.
