Firefox 4 Group Your Tabs

Published on September 16, 2010 in English and it. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

Finally, I tried Firefox 4 beta.
Currently, I’m a bit frustrated, because almost all addons doesn’t work, but that’s not the point :)

Firefox 4 introduces huge amount of great new features,
among them, possible, one of the best UI improvements is:
Group Your Tabs

More info about Group Your Tabs in this video:

It’s not that comfortable to click that button on top-right part of browser, especially on netbooks, laptops, etc…

So here is the shortcut to open it:

Firefox 4.0b10

Ctrl+Shift+E

Firefox 4.0b7

Ctrl+E

Firefox 4.0b6

Ctrl+SPACE

New beta-version – new shortcut. When will they stop changing it?

Have a nice browsing day!

“Nothing to do in the university” problem?

My teacher unintentionally formatted his work flash-drive.
We tried to recover it with easyrecovery.
It was trial version.
We found full version, on torrent sites.
University is behind proxy, torrents are blocked.
Yesterday I installed rtorrent+rutorrent on my debian server.
Logged into it, downloaded that torrent file.
I can access downloaded file through ftp.
Started ftp-transaction… university proxy blocks 21 port.
Downloaded putty. Logged into web-server.
Moved downloaded file into web-server directory.
Downloaded file from browser in university.
Successfully recovered flash-drive data.
?????
PROFIT!

Backspace key in Firefox @ Ubuntu

Published on September 12, 2010 in English, it and Life. 0 Comments Tags: , , .

I really enjoy using Firefox Web browser.
I started using it it’s 2.0 release.
I love that backspace key, which brings me back to the previos page.

I was disappointed, when in my lovely Ubuntu it did not!
I tried to go back, as I usually did that, and the key didn’t work.

That was irritating for me, so, if you have the same problem, feel free to use the following fix:

  1. Type
    about:config
    in address bar.
  2. Filter properties by:
    browser.backspace_action
  3. Double-click it and set it to
    0

Have a nice day!
