Firefox 3 and 2 together running

Running two versions of Firefox under Mac OS X couldn’t be simpler. The freeware application MultiFirefox takes all the guesswork out of the process by automatically detecting Firefox versions in your main Applications folder and presenting you with a list from which to choose the Firefox versions you’d like to launch. Complete with self-updating (thanks to the ubiquitous Sparkle framework), MultiFirefox is the easiest way to pull off this multi-browser stunt. Now to Windows Users Download Firefox 2 and Firefox 3 , depending on what you already have installed. Launch each installer and begin setting up Firefox, but make sure to choose Custom settings. When asked for a place to install Firefox, change the path(s) to C:\Program Files\ Mozilla Firefox 3\ (or …\Mozilla Firefox 2 ) , instead of just “Mozilla Firefox” . In doing so, you’ll place Firefox 2 at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 2\ , and Firefox 3 at C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 3\ . Both versions of Firefox should n...

The tone is from the camera mainly used the Monochrome Picture control and slight color balance adjustments from Adobe Photoshop. Stumble It!

Ubuntu Linux on DV6780SE

Review on notebookreview.com here . Everything works out of the box but I am can't connect using WIFI. WEP is the problem it seems. HDMI Works out of the box. But when running the xserver 2D NV driver does not work. If you have installed NVIDIA driver using the ENVY script, I'd recommend you to remove and have the driver which comes default with Ubuntu. You can enable it via the Restricted Drivers Manager , under System -> Administration menu. Also the screen is cloned by default. Run nvidia-settings Use (ALT+F2) command and type that. No audio though. Tried it on Windows Vista and the same. (More tests?) The nifty touchable sensors doesnt work by default. Fixing that, was not a problem as I am using Gnome. You can do that via gnome applet. System > Preferences then choose Keyboard simply assign the functions. The QuickPlay and DVD buttons are useless, I have assigned it to open Firefox and Terminal which I have to use often. I am aware of the issue that laptop-mode ...

Getting Ready for Firefox 3

With the release of Firefox 3 (beta), one of my favorite extension has become obsolete. BetterFlickr extension that is. BetterFlickr extension is a set of greasemonkey scripts of Rich Text editing, (includes, making the selected texts bold, italic and link). For the time being here are the the options via greasemonkey scripts. Though they are not packed as an .xpi it gives the functionality, meaning it makes flickr-ing much easier and fun.

Flickr Explore/interestingness

Not often I write or post anything here about this, other than what interests me about Ubuntu Linux but I had to, this time around. The Flickr Explore - Interestingness Algorithm Which I call ego boosters. Apparently, for some its the ultimate reward. Interestingness isn't just about Explore. Flickr uses interestingness to fill their explore page each day, but the function is used extensively throughout Flickr as well. Each search result can be ordered by interestingness, and each Flickr photostream can be viewed in interestingness order. Sets can be ordered that way, as well. But what's interesting, isn't necessarily what's good, or of any particular quality. If people are interested in cats licking themselves, then that's what's going to be at the top of the list. If it's Christmas time, then drunk people with santa hats tend to be more interesting. So it's a constantly changing, living thing, and attempts to take a snapshot of what people are intere...

Ubuntu Brainstorm.

Just got this mail, I must say its promising. Showing possibility of excellence. Ubuntu Brainstorm Launched! Thu, 2008-02-28 12:34 — MartinAlbisetti Today a new feedback site is launched at brainstorm.ubuntu.com that will make it easier for users of Ubuntu to suggests ideas for improvements. Voting makes it clear which ideas have the most support in the user community and should be given priority. We have of course been inspired by the IdeaStorm site from our good friends at Dell but modified the concept to fit our needs. The development team can now take the pulse on the most pressing user issues and propose the ideas as topics at the Ubuntu Development Summits and ultimately as specifications . Ubuntu development is in turn driven by detailed specifications written up in the wiki and tracked as blueprints in Launchpad. An idea on brainstorm can easily be linked to a Launchpad blueprint as well as to a bug...

Firefox, some fixes...

After a while, I dug-in to the mighty Firefox's about:config. Now Here are some tips to make life easier. I use Backspace a lot! But seems, in Ubuntu, when I press Backspace what it does is go to the page's top! Hmmm. Open Firefox and type about:config search for browser.backspace.action . Double click it and change the value to 0. Refresh and its done. Session restore Typed a long webmail and Firefox crashed? Worry not. There is a way to get that session back! Yippeee. Look for browser.startup.page key to 3 to restore your browsing session, with form entries intact! Note: By default, Firefox 2 automatically restores your session if your browser crashes - but this does it every time you restart your browser normally Tab close buttons Now I hate it when I do not see the Tab Close button! hmm. Normally it is visibile only on the active tab. Lets fix it. Look for and change browser.tabs.closeButtons value to 3 Fetch only what you click This is handy! and a bandwidth sav...
