TryAgain 3.2.0

When browsing web pages in Firefox, it often happens that the site you’re trying to access doesn’t load in one go.This may due to the web server is down momentarily or there was too much load or maybe your own Internet connection dropped.

TryAgain is a handy Firefox addon that will constantly try to load a webpage when its server was not found. Besides retrying TryAgain offers additional functionality: it presents two links that allow you to search for the missing web page in either Google Cache or the Wayback Machine, with just a single click of a button. The newest version of TryAgain contains a counter that shows how many refreshes have been done, and allows the user to limit that number to a certain maximum.

Tab Mix Plus

TMP enhances tab management significantly, and includes a Session Manager. Browsing sessions in TMP can be handled in a variety of ways, besides the basic functionality of bringing back all the tabs that were open, when you close and reopen the browser.
It includes such features as duplicating tabs, controlling tab focus, tab clicking options, undo closed tabs and windows, plus much more. It also includes a full-featured session manager.
If you are following live cricket scores, then manually refreshing the browser is irksome. The “Reload Every” option lets you specify an interval, after which the page refreshes automatically. If you have over-flowing task bars, the “Single Window Mode”, when enabled, forces all web pages and links to open as tabs within the same Firefox window. The “close tab” icon on each tab could be clicked accidentally when switching between tabs, so TMP allows you to dispense with that and place a single “close tab” icon at the far-right of the tab-bar instead.

Download | A version for Firefox 3 is found here

GUI Config & Configuration Mania – 2 Useful Firefox Addons

Tired with “about.config” to set advanced settings in Firefox because of  technical and packed in a geek interface ?Here are 2 addons which enable you to hack this settings.
1. gui:config 0.3.7 :gui:config makes it easier to change preferences that can only be found in the “about:config”. The extension supports a comfortable way to apply changes to these options. It displays the options, included in the current version, using checkboxes, drop down lists and text boxes.

With Bug Shooting, you can catch anything from icons in the taskbar, third party programs or simply capture an area or the entire screen. It also lets you copy from the clipboard to import images into Bug Shooting and vice versa, i.e. copy from the program, complete with annotations, and paste it into another application. This is one of it's most useful features because with similar programs, you end up unable to share screenshots on the clipboard.

2.Configuration Mania 1.09.2008070501
There are various hidden preferences on firefox. It is technical and difficult to configure with about:config. Configuration Mania allow you to do it easily. You configure them in same way of firefox default option dialog, after opening this extension's setting dialog.
All features are on this extension's setting dialog. Click Tool -> Options -> "Configuration Mania"... to open setting dialog.Users can access five main tabs, like Browser or Security, which lead to several subtabs that provide access to the settings.

The browser menu for instance leads to options for High Speed Browsing, Tab Browsing and Location Bar while the Security menu deals with Javascript, Redirections and Cookies
This is an excellent add-on for Firefox that makes it easy to change many settings that are hard to change otherwise.

Google Announces Launch of New Web Browser -Chrome

Google’s Chrome Browser is not only real, it’s almost available to users for download. According to the Google Blog Chrome will become available for download tomorrow morning in more than 100 countries. The Beta launch of Chrome was announced in an official blog post called A fresh take on the browser.

Google said Chrome would challenge Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, as well as the Firefox browser.Up to now, Google has supported Firefox, the open-source browser that has gained about a fifth of the market against the dominant Internet Explorer.
The web browser is the key gateway to the web and in the 1990's Microsoft triggered a serious anti-trust action by the US Department of Justice, when it succeeded in squashing competition from the first widely used Netscape browser.
Microsoft on Monday "welcomed" the new entry and expressed confidence that people would prefer Explorer, which is pre-installed on every Windows PC sold. Last week, the software giant launched the latest version of its free browser IE8.

Google’s browser will be open source;

Chrome will include a JavaScript Virtual Machine built from scratch;

Tabs will be moved around;

The browser has an address bar with auto-completion.

There’s a privacy feature like IE has;

And Google aims to be proactive about fighting phishing and malware attacks. “The browser landscape is highly competitive,”said Dean Hachamovitch, General Manager of the Internet Explorer group. “But people will choose Internet Explorer 8 for the way it puts the services they want right at their fingertips, respects their personal choices about how they want to browse and, more than any other browsing technology, puts them in control of their personal data online

Update:
Here is the download link for Google's Chrome Browser.

Automatic translations in Google Talk

Meeting new people and chatting with them on Google Talk can be a very enriching experience. The problem comes when that person and you don’t speak the same language and the communication flow is frequently interrupted by vocabulary lapses and constant dictionary look-ups. Google became aware of this issue and decided to solve it in a really handy way: by enabling a bunch of bots that automatically translate any text you type in into the target language.
The translating bots in Google Talk work in a very simple way. You only have to select the ones you’re interested in from the bot list and add them to your Google Talk contact list, as if they were just another friend. There are quite a few combinations to choose from, and the email address you have to use to add them always follows the same pattern: [source language]2[target language]@bot.talk.google.com. Thus a bot that translates from English to German would be en2de@bot.talk.google.com, one that translates from Spanish to English would be es2en@bot.talk.google.com and soon.

Bot List

Languages	Bots	Bots
Arabic - English	ar2en	en2ar
Bulgarian - English	bg2en	en2bg
Czech - English	cs2en	en2cs
Danish - English	da2en	en2da
German - English	de2en	en2de
German - French	de2fr	fr2de
Greek - English	el2en	en2el
Spanish - English	es2en	en2es
Finnish - English	fi2en	en2fi
French - English	fr2en	en2fr
Hindi - English	hi2en	en2hi
Croatian - English	hr2en	en2hr
Italian - English	it2en	en2it
Japanese - English	ja2en	en2ja
Korean - English	ko2en	en2ko
Dutch - English	nl2en	en2nl
Norwegian - English	no2en	en2no
Polish - English	pl2en	en2pl
Portuguese- English	pt2en	en2pt
Romanian - English	ro2en	en2ro
Russian - English	ru2en	en2ru
Swedish - English	sv2en	en2sv
Chinese - English	zh2en	en2zh
Traditional Chinese - English	zh-hant2en	en2zh-hant
Traditional Chinese - Chinese	zh-hant2zh	zh2zh-hant

* don't forget to add @bot.talk.google.com.
Once you’ve added a bot, open a chat with it and type in the sentence you want to translate. The bot will reply with the translation, ready for you to copy on your friend’s chat window. Needless to say, you can use these automatic translations for multiple purposes: from being able to communicate in several languages to playing a joke on a friend or – only for the most cheesy ones – saying “I love you” in a dozen different languages.

Speed Up Your Internet Bandwidth

Well, Many of you already know this tweak, but just want to recall it again.A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)
Here’s how to get it back:
Click Start–>Run–>type “gpedit.msc”
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy–>Computer Configuration–>Administrative Templates–>Network–>QOS Packet Scheduler–>Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ‘Explain’ tab :
“By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default.”
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

Update Group Policy

Click Start–>Run–>type “cmd” to open command prompt.
type gpupdate /force

Or restart your computer for GP update.
