firefox 3

Do you chronically blank on your passwords? If so, I have a little tip that can make things much easier on you: you can recover saved passwords from any site in Firefox in five easy steps! Ready? Here we go:

1. Right click anywhere on the web page you need to sign in to.
2. Select "View Page Info"
3. Click on the "Security" tab in the menu.
4. Click on "View Saved Passwords"
5. Click on "Show Passwords"

You can then view all user names and saved passwords that have been stored by your Firefox cookies.

Is this tip helpful? Yes — I have forgotten many a password in my day and this would have saved me time and frustration. Is this tip dangerous? Possibly — if your computer isn't password protected and it just so happens to fall into the wrong hands, you could be setting yourself up for a problem. My solution would be to use this little tip when you need it, but remember to password protect your computer so it's safely locked when you aren't around!

Hoorah! It looks like with your ample help, Firefox 3 made it into the prestigious pages of The Guinness Book of World Records, as was their goal. Mozilla's achievement is in the most downloads on a 24-hour period: 8,002,530!

I know some fraction of those were geeksugar readers so pat yourselves on the back for helping make history!

I'm already getting used to Firefox 3 and experimenting with tricks for anything I don't like, but I couldn't be happier with it now, and I hope you'll join me in congratulating Mozilla and Firefox 3: High fives all around!

I can't say enough good things about Firefox 3 — it's extremely fast, has an intuitive interface and uses much less memory than Firefox 2 (hence, fewer Firefox crashes). But, you knew it was coming, I cannot adjust to the "Smart Location Bar," or as others have been calling it, the "Awesome Bar." I don't want my location bar to suggest 12 bookmarks and URLs that resemble what I've previously visited when I type in a search — auto search is definitely not for me.

If you are feeling the same way as me, get your Firefox 3 location bar to look like Firefox 2 with a download called oldbar. Now when I type in geeksugar, it will take me to geeksugar.com and show me other geeksugar sites I've visited - the good old way - and not to some random other site!
