The latest update for version 2 of Firefox (2.0.0.14 is out). I wonder why it’s only now that my automatic update flagged me for a restart while the fix was released a couple of days ago.
Nothing much with this release as it only fixes one security issue - addressing the crash in JavaScript garbage […]

It’s one of those days again when my Firefox auto-update prompts me to install yet another update to Firefox 2. I have been shifting from trying out a 3 Beta release to old Firefox 2 and I was surprised that Mozilla is still doing some patchwork to version 2.
Fixes for this release:

XUL popup spoofing […]

But many prospectors are still rewarded by their efforts.Say you’re browsing and suddenly a string of letters or words […]

One funny thing I’ve seen while attending a corporate presentation is have one guy try to access a website typing a few letters and have the address bar history refer him to the porn sites he had visited. Imagine the embarrassment of that guy and the crazy looks everyone had. But whether it’s hiding traces […]

Now this would be one of the things that do not have much use for the common person but some choice people might find very useful. Personally, I’m thinking of productive uses for this add-on but hey, there’s not many people who need to generate Lorem Ipsum texts within their browser.

I have to admit that it took me a while to install Greasemonkey with my Firefox just because I like to keep things simple. I’m a minimalist of sorts. Still, finally getting around installing opened new doors for me and installing a few scripts streamlined my browsing experience a bit more.
And I know there […]

So our favorite browser is quite the memory hog and, as I’ve been told, it loads quite slowly too compared to Opera and even Internet Explorer (a travesty!). And it’s quite true. Even with Windows Vista prefetch, a dual-core processor and a couple gigs of RAM, it still takes quite a while to load.
Apparently, […]

I have had my beef with Wikipedia being used as a source for academic work but I can’t deny it’s usefulness for quick and dirty information gathering. But with the 2,209,000+ articles, browsing through the pages can be tedious chore. Unless, of course, you get a sneak peak of what lies behind a link.
Well, I […]

We’re inching closer and closer to the release of our favorite browser and we’re expecting Beta 3 to be released soon. Mozilla has just frozen the code for Beta 3 but indicated that there might yet be a Beta 3.1 before they move on to giving us the Release Candidate versions.
One great feature they’ve […]

A few weeks back, we featured Bugmenot, a site that offers free use of usernames and passwords for free-to-register sites. It offers quite the convenience especially for those who just need to visit a site once and that’s about it.
Figures that they now have a Firefox extension to boot. What it does is that […]

I love TinyURL. While you don’t see me using them generated links here. I use them quite often in my other blogs. Posting links in Twitter is probably the most practical use I have for it save for the obvious trimming of thousand-character long URLs. But as a security cushion, wouldn’t you want to know […]

It’s a good thing Mitch over at Firefox Facts followed up on a previous post on launching Firefox tabs through the command line because that led me to more command line arguments from the Mozilla site. Here are some of my picks from the long list:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode: firefox.exe -safe-mode
Open the Firefox profile […]

“Rise up. Help others download a more interesting life.” How’s that for Firefox’s campaign to make people download and use the browser. And Mozilla seems to be going all out in this one complete with a website, an anthem and crazy stats on Firefox users like:
* 123% more likely to […]

As a blogger, I have to deal with hyperlinks and link texts everytime. I even seldom use WordPress’ visual editor. The code editor just gives me a lot more control. While this functionality doesn’t have anything to do with the visual editor, it is such a pain to have to rewrite link texts and […]
