How to allow specific JavaScript to different browsers while surfing
Many a times important web sites are dependent on JavaScripts even though it’s safe to surf without these scripts in the browser. But continuously adjusting the browser is painful. How do I avoid it?
Specify the web sites, for which the browser can use JavaScript. All the other unknown scripts should be automatically blocked. As thebasic equipment of the surfing program does not provide a corresponding configuration option, use the plug – in ‘No Script’ (you can get it free). You can find it on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/
INSTALLATION: open the web site in the browser and click on the installation link. Gove the necessary installation permission by clicking on ‘Install now’. To complete the installation, close Firefox and restart it.
PRESENTING : take care that JavaScript is generally allowed in the browser otherwise all the scripts are blocked irrespective of the settings in NoScript. You can control this via ‘Tools| Options’. Click on the category ‘ Content and select ‘Enable JavaScript’.
CONFIGURATION: The extentsion ‘NoScript’ immediately blocks all JavaScripts and sends a notification regarding the same at the lower right margin of the window. Besides, a symbol in the status bar of the browser continuously shows you the current settings for the opened web site. To change this configuration, click on the icon that further shows hidden icons at the bottom window corner. Now the menu asks you about all individual scripts and also whether you would want to allow the current domain permanently or only temporarily for the current session. This menu also facilitates access to other settings on ‘NoScript’. In the ‘General’ tab, you will see the list of authorized domains and you can process these manually. Using he ‘Export’ button, save your own configuration in a text file which can be later imported, for example, after re-installation or on a new computer. You can easily reconstruct your script installation in this manner.
How to get rid of annoying help text in Firefox 2
As soon as you move the cursor over a control element in Firefox, it displays help tesxt as a tool tip. What can be useful in the initial days of working with the browser becomes annoying in the long run. For instance, the tool tip blocks access to the bookmarks toolbar when you want to drag a new address from the address bar to the bookmarks toolbar using drag and drop.
The help function of the tool tip can be dispabled by making a change in the settings in the advanced configuration of the browser. To do this, type about:config’ in the address bar and press Enter. The next step is to search for the ‘browser’ chrome .toolbar_tips’entry in the displayed list, by entering the initial letters of the entry in the ‘Filter domain. After that, right-click on the true value and select the ‘Change’ context command. Once you set this value to ‘false’, Firefox no longer displays any help text.
Using firefox to upload articles on forums and websites
Being an Internet fan, we often post many atricles on forums. Since we often use similar text to identify yourself on a lot of website, we would prefer to work with auto- complete in Mozilla Firefox.
Equip Firefox with an at\utotext function with free extension. ‘Clippings’.
This saves the effort of typing in forums or complicated copying.
INSTALLATION: the XPI file for installing this update is available on Clippings. Click in the website on the ‘install’ link or open the XPI file with Firefox if you have downloaded it. Start the integration by clicking on ‘Install now’. ‘Restart Firefox’ to complete the installation process.
CREATING CLIPPINGS: We need to first create the text before using it. Select a desired text in the browser and right- click on it. The context menu now displays the update. You can either set the selected text as a clipping with ‘Clippings|New entry with selected text’ or stat the main dialog with ‘Clippings|Open Clippings Manager’. Further possibilities; double- click on the new text symbol on the right part of the status bar or pull the selected text to this position by drag and drop.
MANAGING FRAGMENTS: after you have created the text fragments, organize them in folders in the Clippings Manager. Each folder later represents a sub menu- this gives you a quick overview. Use the ‘Options|New entry from Clipboard’ command to use copied texts in the quickest possible way. At this point, you can also save yur data in an RDF file with ‘Options| Export’. Now close the dialog .
USING THE AUTO TEXTS
To use these texts, right-click on the entry field of the opened website. You can now access the hierarchically arranged folders with the sorted texts through ‘Clippings’ and insert them with a click.
