Firefox 2 Tweaks & Tips


Now that Firefox 2 is out, here is a list of some about:config tweaks that you can do to enhance your FF browser experience!

Here is a list from Firefox of tips & tricks.
  • Browser appearance (tabs, icons, etc)
  • Behavior (external links, saving URLs, tweak Find)
  • Other (copy table cells, speed up rendering, etc)
And here is my own tip:
  • Tab "flipping" is the concept that you can activate the most recent active tab by clicking on the currently active tab. I can't stand that new feature in 2.0 (I commonly quickly select the tab and gesture down to close it -- with 2.0 sometimes that click on a tab that I thought was in the background turns out to be on the active tab, which selects *another* tab, and I end up closing that one), so I finally found out a way to turn it off.
    • about:config - filter on "flip". Change extensions.lasttab.enableTabFlipping to false.

LiveOffice Free Conference Calling


What's the catch? This conference calling tool is free for up to 250 callers on a call?

You still have to pay long distance charges, or use their toll-free number for $0.04 / min. A dude added a comment that you can Skype to the long distance number to eliminate that charge.

Cool feature: can record the conference call - it will give you an MP3 to download at the end of the call.

Top Ten Geek Wallets


My wallet is not yet close to the ones shown at the top of this article, but it's on the way. Maybe it's time to go with one of these shown, or downsize completely to a money clip.

After all, what else do I need besides ID, credit/debit card?
