Fluid a new Mac browser - sort of
October 9, 2008 by evl
Fluid is a Site Specific Browser, its great if you visit so many sites continually and do the same thing every day. Unlike the other browser that is supposed to come out soon, this one is here already. I guess they have great timimg.Site Specific Browsers (SSBs) provide a great solution for your WebApp woes. Using Fluid, you can create SSBs to run each of your favorite WebApps as a separate Cocoa desktop application. Fluid gives any WebApp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, logical separation from your other web browsing activity, and many, many other goodies.So how does Fluid work?
Fluid itself is a very small application. When launched, Fluid displays a little tiny window where you specify the URL of a WebApp you'd like to run in a Site Specific Browser. Provide an application name, specify a Location and an Icon, click 'Create' and you'll be prompted to launch the new native Mac app you've just created.You can download it here
Firefox is pissing me off. why does it keep on hanging. I loose all my work everytime it hang every 5 minutes.

Firefox is making me think of immigrating my browser to something lighter. I am using Firefox and its on Ubuntu. But every time certain videos load Firefox hangs. Not just that when I do certain things it just hangs. Like it cant handle the stress of a few tabs. I am hearing that there are some browsers faster than Firefox that does not load. One of these is built in Macs called whatever. I am so annoyed right now. I cant do a decent job with Firefox, I refuse to use IE or anything Microsoft has to bloat my computer. But what the heck do I use that does not crash every 5 minutes.Abduction for Firefox. Take full screen screenshots of websites and blogs with your browser.

The Firefox freeze
September 30, 2008 by evl
Why Firefox freezes so often I have no idea. But this happens at least 10 times a day. I will be using Firefox and then all of a sudden the freeze hits the browser and nothing happens after that. I dont know coding and all that stuff but I wish I knew why Firefox freezes every hour or so. I guess this post has not point except me ranting about Firefox freezing.Ubuntu firefox keeps hanging. Sorted

A few days ago I blogged about Firefox that keeps on hanging. I guess it was something with the old Firefox. As soon as I updated it stopped hanging. So try updating Firefox and always use the newest version of your software for less errors.
I had some doubts about Firefox a while back but now it seems like Firefox is getting better by the day. Firefox loads way faster now than it used to load. I am not sure if this can be because I dont know software that well but it seems that it loads faster.
The Firefox crashing has stopped. Update those browsers.
Automatically refresh and reload Twitter using Reloadevery Firefox extenstion / plugin
September 30, 2008 by evl
Have you ever wanted to let twitter reload itslelf without having to refresh the browser manually? Well there is a Firefox plugin that enables you to reload a page in Firefox, and that you can use to reload or refresh twitter every few seconds. Works great with any site but to get past reloading twitter manually the plugin works best. One would think that they would actually make twitter to reload by itself but I guess that will take to much CPU power from their side. ReloadeveryWorks with:
- Firefox: 1.5
