Post Google+ launch, Google is busy redesigning most of its apps to match Google+ look and feel, and now they in the process of changing the log-in pages for most of the services and apps with the new look and feel.


The problem after redesign: saved passwords in the browser doesn't work anymore, you have to type and store it again, because with the new redesign, any log-in page is redirected to "Google Accounts" authentication URL which is different from the previous one, and most of the browsers couldn't map the username and password to the new URL.

Can Google get a quick fix to it?

I am big fan of Firefox but still I liked Google Chrome for some basic features like,

- Tab placement
- Apps Tabs
- Installing Add-ons without rebooting browser

But now the new version of Firefox will have the first two features added.

Firefox 4 Features:

New Tab Location

App Tabs

And the other new features like, 'Switch to Tab' and 'Firefox Button' will add more flexibility and work area.

But I will really like if they can enable Firefox add-ons to be installed without rebooting.

What is your favorite feature and what would you like to see in the next version of Firefox?

Few days ago I wrote a post about mouse gestures in Firefox and Opera. Today I have listed some useful tips on how to open a website easily using Firefox.

How to open ".com" websites?

If you want to open any website with ".com", just type the domain name in the address bar and hit Ctrl + Enter in your keyboard, Firefox will append "http://www" and ".com" to complete the web address.

How to open ".net" websites?

If you want to open any website with ".net", just type the domain name in the address bar and hit Shift + Enter in your keyboard, Firefox will append "http://www" and ".net" to complete the web address.

How to open ".org" websites?

If you want to open any website with ".org", just type the domain name in the address bar and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter in your keyboard, Firefox will append "http://www" and ".org" to complete the web address.

A quick look,

.com → Ctrl + Enter
.net → Shift + Enter
.org → Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Adding one more time saving shortcut,

How to open a website in a new window without using your mouse and without hitting "Ctrl + t"? Use the the below technique,
