For those of us with blogs, I highly recommend installing the Scribe Fire Firefox Extension. Here is a description of the extension, “ScribeFire (previously Performancing for Firefox) is a full-featured blog editor that integrates with your browser and lets you easily post to your blog.”

All right, I am going to give away my secret.
If you are a web designer and working with CSS, install Firebug. You won’t believe how much time this great extension had saved me.

Did you know that when you start the Firefox browser you can open multiple tabs?

To do this, go to Tools>Otions and make sure you’re on the ‘main’ tab. On the text field for homepage input the addresses seperated by a “|” (without the quotation marks).

This is a tip to speed up Firefox which makes loading pages faster. What you’re going to do is enable pipelining which means that instead of making one request at a time, Firefox will make several requests to a web page. follow the simple instructions below to do it:

1. Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following:
network.http.pipelining network.http.proxy.pipelining network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

2. Alter the following to:
Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to something like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0″. This is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

Fin.
