WebGL – open GL on the web
Thursday, January 28th, 2010Firefox – Show results from navigation bar
Thursday, October 15th, 2009In Firefox the navigation bar will display the first search result if you type in something that is not a valid URL, e.g. if you type in CodingFriends.com then it will display codingfriends.com web site, but if you typed in codingfriends then it would display the first result which is this website.
But to alter the default settings in the navigation bar so that it will display your favorite search engine, I use Google search engine.
If you type in the navigation bar
about:config
This will display
about:config
Once you have clicked the button, then do a search for
keyword.URL
Double click on the value (the one on the right) and change
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
To
http://www.google.com/search?q=
You are taking out the gfns=1, which means goto the first result.
I have taken more than the gfns because the rest are encoding standards for text.
Firefox drop down list deletion
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009I have been using gmail / googlemail for a little while now and also have had some other email account with gmail / googlemail that I no longer use anymore, but in the login screen there is a drop list of previous typed username/login details and I wanted to delete these but did not know how, until I did come across this posting Delete autofills.
Basically the fix is, when you are on the login screen and selecting the login details using the keyboard up and down arrow, if you select one that you want to get rid of press SHIFT + DELETE, that is it.
It is a very cool feature but not well documented, so I thought I would also give it some air.
