I didn’t found out anything cool today, so just a small and easy tip for Firefox users. This small tutorial will show you how to delete individual sites from your address bar (firefox). Normally when we want to clean urls from the web browser we end up cleaning all the address history. Mostly happens when we want to clean the history from preying eyes of our parents (don’t want to get caught checking pron sites). Many would probably know this, but most of the non geeky friends don’t even know it could be done. Here’s how it goes:

I have been using Firefox for quite sometime. It has its own problems which as a as FF user have learnt how to handle them. But no browser comes close to Firefox in terms of performance and expandability thanks to Mozilla’s large community which constantly adding new cool extensions and plugins.
Over the past 1 year of blogging, i have played with many extensions, some made my blogging hell of a lot easier but few were nothing less then a bad joke. Previously I put up an article on how to improve Firefox performance. Today I wanna list my top 10 favorite extensions that improved my productivity and blogging experience. Here goes the list.

Firefox 2.0 since its release had the niggling memory leak and no matter how many updates have been out to address this issue it still has that retard issue. A standard Firefox install without any extensions consumes around 80MB but soon after you add a few extensions you can see a noticeable drop in the performance. There are many guides out over the internet but i have made my own version that seems to work. It gono be a pretty comprehensive guide so you have a stick a little longer to learn the tricks.

Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer
If you use Firefox on more than one computer, you'll want Foxmarks. Install Foxmarks on each computer, and it will work silently in the background to keep your bookmarks synchronized. As a bonus, log in to my.foxmarks.com from any computer anywhere to access your bookmarks.
A simple wizard guides you through the startup process. After that, just forget about it. It's simple and solid.
