Make Firefox remember login data and passwords

Now as everybody could notice until now, Firefox at some point has a problem with keeping you logged into certain sites, if not ALL of them.

I’m sure that most of you already experienced something like this. Starting firefox only to see that you’re not logged into the respective site. I know I had trouble with staying logged into youtube, and some other forums I generally browse.

List of Firefox Add-ons

I know that this has been written about on this site before; it is always good to go over it again. Here is a list of the add-ons that I find are the most useful in my everyday browsing in Firefox.

ColorfulTabs
This add-on is one of my favorites. It will color every tab in your Firefox browser in a different color and makes them easy to distinguish while beautifying the overall appearance of the browser. You can customize how and what color it will color each of your tabs.

Firebug:

If you are a serious web developer or even just dabble with coding web pages, this is a must-have add-on. Firebug integrates with Firefox to put a wealth of development tools at your fingertips while you browse. You can edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML, and JavaScript live in any web page.  This means you can easily view and study other people’s code as well as your own.

CSS Rounded Corners That Really Work in IE and Firefox

For any web design rounded cornered rectangles add a touch of professionalism and beauty. Unfortunately most methods using either JavaScript or layered images do not work very well on all browsers as expected by the designer or the user.

Finally there is a nice method which works very well with IE7+ and Firefox 2+ perfectly, this is in fact by using CSS3 where 4 rectangles are layered one above the other to emulate a rounded corner and this method unlike others works perfectly with most browsers, although I haven’t tested it with IE6.

Let’s Get Started.

Now we will be adding four rectangles (or lines whatever you wish to call them) which overlap each other, when combined they give the effect of a rounded corner. Now I will give you a small sample which will explain you what I’m trying to say properly.

Greasemonkey User Script Update Checker

Greasemonkey scripts are the best things about Firefox. These scripts make Firefox experience a  loving one and also they give you limitless tweaking and styling properties. But when you install your script unlike Firefox extensions it never checks for updates. Here is a nice Greasemonkey script which checks the update of other Greasemonkey scripts. This makes sure that you stay in touch with the updates of all GM scripts and saves you loads of time which you will spend looking for the updates.

Fix Flash Video Flickering or Stuttering in Firefox

YouTube and other flash based videos stutter/flicker in Firefox, and this is a major annoyance (usually Firefox has none) with Firefox. This does not happen with other browsers, so why is Firefox causing this? well Its because of its amazing snapshot system which takes a snapshot of your browsing every 10 seconds, this is very nice but this is the main cause of the flickering effect. So how do you get rid of it? Well there is a simple and easy fix for this issue.

1. Open Firefox options with about:config (type this in address bar and press enter without quotes).
2. In the configuration settings in the filter box type: browser.sessionstore.interval
3. You will find this setting to be with the default value of 10000 (this is in milliseconds which is 10 sec)
4. Change the value to a higher state anything more than 60000 is good but we recommend that you set it to 120000 which is 2 min or 120 seconds.
5. Restart Firefox and load a flash video and now the flickering or stuttering has gone.
