After the first time I downloaded Mozilla Firefox I was so impressed by it that I started playing with it instead of playing Crysis. So how do I save this heavy profile of mine? Fortunately there are ways to backup your stuff without losing any of them.
Let’s get started:
1. Navigate to MozBackup and download the software.
2. After downloading the software, close your Firefox browser and then double click and install MozBackup.
3. Click the Next button in the dialog box that has just popped up.
4. Click I Agree button and then proceed.

Mozilla launched the Firefox 3.5.2 and is more concerned about the security updates that is it is recommended that you all upgrade your Firefox to 3.5.2 as it is a security update fixing several issues. Currently it is not available everywhere. You can check out the release notes here.
Installing the Firefox 3.5 will overwrite your existing installation of Firefox. You won’t lose any of your bookmarks or browsing history, but some of your extensions and other add-ons might not work until updates for them are made available. You can reinstall an older version later if you wish to downgrade. For more information you can click that above link(”here”).

Google Chrome just released just 30 minutes back i guess( while i was writing). Actually I was holly shit when Google announced that they where making there own open source browse, considering Google has been supporting Firefox for quite a while now.
Google Chrome is based on the WebKit engine and by the initial 5 minutes with the browser, its pretty awesome considering it just a beta. Good thing is that the browser runs separate processes per TAB to ensure security and stability. This way if one of the tab crashes accidentally, it won’t influence your work in other tabs. While running multiple tabs each tab was consuming about 6 to 10mb depending on the website content, flashier websites tend to consume more ram.

YouTube is the best online video service I have ever come across. Thousands of videos uploaded everyday, its also the best way to promote yourself online. Now with YouPlayer you can watch those videos media player style from your sidebar on the Mozilla Firefox.
YouPlayer is one of the best firefox addons I have ever come across. As I said, it works like a media player. Simply drag and drop the video URLs to the playlist on the sidebar and start watching videos instantly. You can also download those videos, right click the video link and click download. Magnifique!
