I’ve had my fair share of coding web pages from CSS to the xHTML. It’s tough, especially when you’re a hardcore nut who refuses to use WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors like Dreamweaver. Just a text editor and Firefox, baby!
While, being that old school has its satisfactions, it does also [...]

If you’re one who works on different workstations or computers (shifting from one desktop to a laptop and back), then one issue you might have is keeping your bookmarks all in synch on all of your machines.
Firefox and IE do have an option to export your bookmarks but who wants to do the tedious [...]

It’s been a while since I logged on into an IRC channel to chat but I know many still prefer IRC over other chat services such as Yahoo! or instant messaging. MIRC was one of the more popular IRC clients back in the day and I remember getting nuked and bombed and contracting all [...]

Tor is supposedly one of the better tools out there but from my experience, using its proxy service halved my speed. Plus, set-up can be quite [...]

It’s really the faddish thing to do nowadays but Flash sucks in terms of accessibility. Flash animations (used in banners and ads) can take too long to load. And they can be quite annoying when all you need is a piece of information (like a line of text perhaps). If you’re not really into [...]

The grand game of numbers and statistics. Of market shares and user choice. So who’s the top dog in the browser battle? Still, Internet Explorer, baby. With around 4/5 of share in the US, Firefox has a long way to climb to take the title of King of Browser Hill with around 14%.
But being [...]

What it does is it tidies up the Downloads window and turns it into a little bar in the status bar. [...]

One of the tabs I usually keep open is my Google Personalized Homepage. For me, it’s like a car’s dashboard that’s too essential to just do away with. I lovingly customized to suit mine to suite my needs. One thing that I find a bit off though is the fact that I have to [...]

One comment about Firefox is its tendency to hog RAM. Well, sad to say, but it’s true (still not as much as the other browser :p). What’s comforting about it is that, Firefox’s customization allows you to tell Firefox not to use up too much RAM. Here’s how:

Access the about:config page (here’s how).
Find the [...]

One of the ways Firefox offers a faster browsing experience is that it has a pre-load feature that will download pages behind the links that you might click. I don’t know how Firefox does this but it does.
So if you’re just coursing through a page, you might just be wasting bandwidth and hard [...]

Here’s probably why it’s really easy for web designers get the job done a lot easier when designing for Firefox. For starters, most of the time what you put into the stylesheet, you get (though I still have to experience not getting it). No more guess games like with the headache Internet Explorer brings.

I’m a keyboard ninja, and I’m more in favor of using keyboard shortcuts than the mouse. Not that I hate the mouse, it’s just that I’ve been using computers even before the mouse was an integral part of GUI computing. (No mouse movements for the command line, right?)
However, nowadays, most of the people [...]
