Firefox on Dual Screens

I had the problem that Firefox always opened on my secondary monitor, and I couldn't find a way to make it open on my primary display.

The solution is to drag the Firefox window a bit more then half way to you primary screen and then File > Exit it.

After you restart Firefox it should open on your primary monitor again.

Thanks, Internet!

Windows : Shift + F10 is the same as right-clicking on a highlighted icon, file, or Internet link.

Firefox: adding keyboard shortcuts to show/hide toolbars

I was looking for a way to make keyboard shortcuts for showing and hiding toolbars in Firefox 3 So now I present you with a symbolical 10 steps to make your own toolbar shortcuts show/hide a toolbar on the press of a (or two or three or four) buttons.

1. Install KeyConfig
2. Install DOM Inspector
3. Open DOM Inspector and put chrome://browser/content/browser.xul in the URL bar.
4. Observe the Firefox window in the browser at the bottom
5. Scroll down the Document - DOM nodes tree to document > window > toolbox and expand it.
6. Observe the list of your Firefox toolbars and their ID's
7. Add a new key in KeyConfig and name it appropriately to the toolbar you want to toggle.
8. Replace the /* CODE */ with goToggleToolbar('toolbarid', ''); and then replace toolbarid with the id from the toolbar.
9. Assign a keyboard shortcut to the newly created Key
10. Open a new Firefox window and press they keyboard shortcut.

This will toggle your toolbars visibility (make sure it is showing by default with the checkmark checked at View > Toolbars > Your toolbar).



Now my question is - Does an extension exist who does this?

Firefox's default port blacklist

By default firefox doesn't allow connections to these ports
unless the protocol overrides.
To fix this problem add an exception.

Firefox and sites on port 23

Problem:
"This address (%address) specifies a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection."

If you open up a site located on certain port(s) not normally used for web browsing firefox stops you from going there FOR YOUR PROTECTION

Solution:
The correct workaround is adding a new string value to
about:config
called
network.security.ports.banned.override
Then enter a comma-separated list of port numbers to allow.

Microsoft breaks IE8 interoperability promise

This week, the promise was broken. It lasted less than six months. Now that Internet Explorer IE8 beta 2 is released, we know that many, if not most, pages viewed in IE8 will not be shown in standards mode by default.

What a surprise!
