Tips & Tricks To Get Online Visibility
As expected, most of the respond to the new Live Search add-on for Firefox is far from
overwhelming. It is way too late, when Google and Yahoo have been there few years back.
This add-on includes the Live Search’s auto-suggestions right in the search box while typing the query.
I just install it although I’m not sure how often it will be used. But anyway it still good idea to have other alternative in case the whole internet flagged as malware again. Who knows..
It is funny that Firefox(and the rest of web browser except IE6 which is the default browser) are not allowed to be installed in the computer where I’m currently working at, due to virus/security concern. Seriously, I’ve never seen such restriction anywhere before. Leave that alone, for whatever reason is, that computer is their right?
To use Firefox, I use MobileFirefox (not a Firefox for mobile phone code named Fennec), that I stumbled upon while looking for Fennec.
According to the homepage, MobileFirefox is a ‘compressed’ version of Firefox, and no installation required. Once the copy of MobileFirefox downloaded, put it into the optical drive such as thumb drive/hardisk or even CDROM.
On my case, I put it onto my external hard drive, so I can add any plugins I wants, just like normal Firefox.
However MobileFirefox is little bit outdated, where it still on version 2.0. Anyway, it still provide an alternative to IE6 and better internet browsing.
If you’re on the same boat like me, just give it a try.
Do you think Firefox should behaving like Google Chrome? The new Google Toolbar appears doing that.
The latest toolbar released yesterday making Firefox appearance Chrome looks alike. By default, when the new tab opened , the thumbnail of your favorite (most visited) sites will shown there.
Don’t like it showing favorites site? You can control the appearance of the new tab behavior, to be filled up by other websites or just a blank space from within the toolbar or Firefox setup.
But keep in mind, it works only on Firefox 3 and some users experiencing lags during browsing.
A friend of mine trying to track his goods’s shipment online from DHL website using iPhone’s web browser, when something funny happens. The site content did not displayed correctly, and together with this error message.
What?? My iPhone is a low tech (imitating his surprise)?Feeling dissatisfied, he open the website from Macbook’s Safari but unfortunately end up with the same outcome as well.
Apparently it is not the the limitation of Safari, but most likely due to the DHL’s website that doesn’t support Safari. However, it run fine in Firefox, Avant, IE 6 & 7.
Actually, this ‘fun’ error can be replicated in other browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) as well. Click on the first URL below, which bring you to the site that displays the above error message. The second URL which looks identical with the first URL, except on the .low and .high part, which show the site’s content correctly.

Barely 100 days released in Beta mode, Chrome has been officially released from Beta (stark contrast to Gmail which in Beta since introduced in 2004). And the main reason behind the removal of beta label is the better stability and performance that Chrome had achieved so far.
Ironically, Firefox had just released its 3.1 Beta Release 2 version few days back. Whether this is merely coincident, or the timing issue, between this 2 competing internet browsers are unknown. But undeniably, Chrome has made significant impact to Firefox. With 10 millions download in 100 days, and the fact that it is quite popular among geeks and blogger which help spread the words faster is surely turn every attention to Chrome
On 5th release, Google claim that Chrome promising stability, greater performance, speedy, secured and better privacy control. Additionally better bookmark features has been introduced with import & export features.
RSS support will be added in near future, even though you can now click the RSS button to subscribe the content in RSS reader successfully, without being shown a ‘weird looking’ web page.
Overall, Chrome is incredibly fast (they got benchmark), but I’m still waiting for ‘ads block’ feature available, before I’ll using it more frequent that I’m now.
