I hate Internet Explorer
Any and all versions for that matter.
Text rendering in Firefox:
Text rendering in Google Chrome:
Text rendering in Internet Explorer 8 - WTF is this?!
Ok, I admit: I'm using the text-shadow property... but still!
Force Firefox to spellcheck all fields
- Go to about:config and heed the warning
- search for layout.spellcheckDefault and set its value to 2
Firefox 3.1 adds Private Browsing
Firefox 3.1 will come with a Private Browsing feature that can be activated through the Tools menu.
Not sure how useful this function really is - all it does is not store traces of your browsing-history on your machine. It doesn't keep you anonymous from websites or your ISP, and is definitely not meant to protect you from spyware that try to intercept your traffic.
This can also be activated on startup by going to about:config, and toggling:
browser.privatebrowsing.autostart
Gmail-Unread-Count First
Lifehacker has a great Firefox plugin for Gmail ("BetterGmail"). Behind the scenes, the plugin actually runs GreaseMonkey scripts.
I have my taskbar on the left hand side of the screen. When I get an email, this means that I can't tell I have unread messages (because the title says "Gmail - Inbox(1) - [email address]"). What I needed was a script to change it to something like "1 unread - Gmail Inbox". Nothing against the Lifehacker plugin, but I just like having a minimal number of Firefox plugins. I already have Greasemonkey installed - so I just needed the script:
