How to change the background of an image seen with View Image in Firefox

1 Comment, How-to, by admin.

A guide on how to fix the annoying grey background and center image in Firefox 11

When you need to see an image better you right click and choose View image. Since 2007 we were seeing the image in the top left corner on a white background. Now ever since Firefox 11 that got changed to a centered image with grey layout. Personally I hate that this. Why should I see everything with a grey background (#333 to be exact, it may be seen as black on a non-well calibrated monitor)? Instead they should have placed an option at the Firefox options.

How to see a warning upon closing Firefox while downloading a file

No Comments, How-to, by admin.

While we browse the internet we sometimes forget that we are also downloading a file or a number of files and we exit Firefox. By default we see no warning that we are currently downloading something. Again, by default upon re-opening Firefox it will resume any downloading operations.That would be great, but sadly it’s not always helpful, since a lot of hosts do not allow to pause and continue downloads (rapidshare, megaupload, fileshare, etc.).  Click here to read the entire post....

How to fix Cyrillic text on Windows 7

2 Comments, How-to, Windows, by admin.

Have you had trouble seeing Cyrillic letters/fonts on Windows 7 (x64 Ultimate in our case)?
Have you seen weird symbols instead of Cyrillic letters in some if not all programs?

The way to fix this is by telling your computer how to handle letters which are not unicode, meaning, to tell the computer that the font which it is showing is in Cyrillic.  Click here to read the entire post.... (241 words, 3 images, estimated 58 secs reading time)

Google, stop interrupting me while I’m typing! You are like a girlfriend, lol.

How to stop Google from automatically refreshing your page while you are writing your search query?

This feature of Google is rather annoying in my opinion, but thank God there is a way to stop this! I’m talking about the Google’s InstantSearch – it changes the search results window on each keystroke.  Click here to read the entire post.... (248 words, 1 image, estimated 1:0 mins reading time)
