By default it is auto-detect to english which is most of the people want. This plugin helped me to develop my recent project in Portuguese language.

Using firephp , you can debug your php code. Firephp is a firefox plugin which works on firebug console.

In our php life, we know we can use echo function to print or debug the value of a variable and we usually do that. But if there is any header function such as image manipulation, redirection etc, if you use echo or print either it leads into unwanted results or we get the common error, cannot modify header information headers already sent  !!!

The one solution for this is, writing the variable value into a log file and check the log file after execution. But the advantage of fire php is, you can log messages, or value of a variable and can see through firebug console.

For example:

<?php $fire_php->log(‘Enter into function’); ?>

<?php $fire_php->log($result); ?>

You can also categorize your error as warning or error . eg:

<?php $fire_php->warn(‘Variable value is not set’)?> or

<?php $fire_php->error(‘No parameter passed’) ?>

The plugin which helped to do this is Mozilla’s FlashGot .What this plugin does is , it adds one more option for bypass the download from mozilla browser to some other accelerator say flashget.

Might be some of you waiting  for such a solution for a long time , rite ?

If you are a web designer, who designs using css  properties, perhaps you get in struck with different browser’s compatibility. In these case Internet explorer would be your most headache, especially IE 6 or former versions .

Mozilla shows contents as we expect while the design phase. The web browser arrived recently, Chrome also shows things like what we put in our designs. When we check with Internet explorer, the veteran in this field, a lots of problems with aligns , extra white space , floating  etc.

I already posed about internet explorer form tag problem. Here, recently i faced a different problem with IE, when we use float values say float:left for a particular div, and if we apply left-margin:10px (or whatever value), IE displays it with doubled marginal length (in this case around 20px)

When i googled it , and finally got a solution. What you have to do is, add display:inline value to the div which shows this extra white space or extra length

eg:

#rightDiv
{
width:279px;
height:40px;

float:left;
display:inline;

}

I got this precious solution from http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/floatIndent.html

Yes, a browser with very simple layout. The features i like in this new browser is its full screee view. The only thing in the top area is the location bar. No other menus or buttons or panels are there. It gives a comfort feeling. (All other browsers are very congested )

Another feature i like to see was that task manager. I was searching for such a plugin in mozilla. Which tabs takes more memory , more internet resources etc. And we can even end the process . Good approach google. Hats off.

The next feature i like is downloading files. It never ask for location for saving. After download you can save as you wish (You can drag the downloaded file anywhere in your computer ). So when you want to download , just download it !!!

On the very first day, i got a crashed warning message from chrome while i browsing !!!

But there was option to restart, so saved  all the tabs.

Another feature i liked is it error display mechanism. It shows proper error and proper solution just like google style

One feature i expect was the warning before closing tabs. When i closed the browser, all the tab get closed without any warning.. I think firefox made me to think like this .

And in option , you can see the saved passwords (without any masking !!!) .  That is a bad feature i think.Lets expect more features in the coming update .

And about wordpress editor; some of the functions of WYSWUG wordpress editor is not working with chrome. I think this is because of the javascript compatibility  .

From a developer angle , i got one more browser to test a webpage  (How it appears after changing the html, javascript and css )

• Mozilla uses more memory space.
• It becomes slow when i open more tabs
• Page cannot be found error makes the whole browser hang
• It crashes sometimes and restore session is the only resort to regain

The above complaints are very common about mozilla. But still i like mozilla

But there are some hidden truths regarding mozilla’s configuration. The Basic or Default configuration of mozilla is for Dial-up-connection.

You can go on with your default mozilla if you are using a dial-up connection. If you have a Broadband Internet Connection, you can make your mozilla more powerful than usual.

Do the following things:

1. Open a new tab in your mozilla.
2. Type about:config in your address bar and press Enter

This is the configuration page for mozilla. Dont edit all the fields .

For reducing memory usage of firefox do this:

Right click on the resulting window, New > Boolean

It prompt for “Enter the preference name”

Type config.trim_on_minimize and press ok. Select true value after that

For adding more speed for browsing and downloading:

On the about:config page , find the string network.http.pipelining (you can use the filter given for easy searching)

Change its value from false to true (Just double click on the line, it will toggle the true/ false values, or right click and click toggle)

Also change network.http.proxy.pipelining value true.

Now you have to change network.http.pipelining.maxrequests value . (Double click or right click and modify)

By default it will be 5 . Set its value from 10 to 30 depending on your internet connection speed.

Final Step: Right click on that window (about:config) and Click New > Integer and type: nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0 (zero)

Done, restart your mozilla. Now you will get faster mozilla, faster internet. Happy Browsing.

If you want to know more regarding mozilla configuration, see this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_FAQs_:_About:config_Entries

Interesting Tip:

like http:// or ftp:// prompts you saw about: prompt. about:blank is a very familiar prompt right ?  So another prompt here ; it is chrome://

Type:  chrome://browser/content/browser.xul  in your browsers address bar to see your mozilla browser inside itself.

Interesting !!!

1. Open Source Browser (Free Software)
2. My First Tabbed Browsing
3. Extensible layout (Extensions and plugins)
4. Very interesting developer platform
5. Xp support (Cross platform)
6. Very simple layout engine(Gecko)
7. Google Search integrated

More over when i checked my status, most of the visitors are browsed through firefox

I think there is a hidden relation ship between google and firefox. I heard a news that, some google employees are there in the Mozilla development team. If that is true, i am 100% more happy. Because both are my favorite team players. It is like merging the cricket team of India and Australia

I personally like gmail than any other webmail service in this world. I was a regular yahoo mail user two years before, and i used yahoo messenger also. I am not blaming yahoo mail service, i don’t know the reason for this switching exactly, but i like gmail. Might be because of its simple chat, simple Ajax implementation, very simple look, etc . But the thing i want to disclose is not a mere comparison of gmail and yahoo, that is not my concern here.

Some additional features i expected while using gmail are HTML signature, customizing the view, labellings, theme , removal of ads , i am not revealing the climax of the movie here but i got a mozilla plugin which does all the lagging features of gmail what i expected, and its name is Better Gmail (They could have put better name) .

You can download that plugin from here : Better Gmail

Screen shot:

Download the plugin and install and refresh gmail page after making any changes in the option. Put a better html signature with images , links etc like yahoo, customize your gmail as you wish.

(Tips: For 100% working of this plugin, you need to switch into older gmail version)
