HACK or Simply Change XP Start Button Name

2010-03-09T23:32:00.001+11:00

I’ve read a number of articles on the internet about changing the text on the Start button in XP. On more than one occasion I’ve seen references to a five (5) letter limitation when the button is renamed. I always wondered if this was true or just an assumption someone made because the default ‘start’ just happened to fit the button size. So, I decided to run a test and see if there really was a five character limit.

First of all just u need to do is download Resource hacker.

Resource HackerTM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems.

ll its just 541Kb in the size.. Click here to go to the Download Page

Download Resource Hacker
First Step The first step is to make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe
The category we are going to be using is String Table In Resource Hacker. Expand it by clicking the plus sign then navigate down to and expand string 37 followed by highlighting 1033. If you are using the Classic Layout rather than the XP Layout, use number 38. The right hand pane will display the stringtable as shown in Fig. 02. We’re going to modify item 578, currently showing the word “start” just as it displays on the current Start button.

There is no magic here. Just double click on the word “start” so that it’s highlighted, making sure the quotation marks are not part of the highlight. They need to remain in place, surrounding the new text that you’ll type. Go ahead and type your new entry

Second Step – Modify the Registry Now that the modified explorer.exe has been created it’s necessary to modify the registry so the file will be recognized when the user logs on to the system. If you don’t know how to access the registry I’m not sure this article is for you, but just in case it’s a temporary memory lapse, go to Start (soon to be something else) Run and type regedit in the Open: field. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon

the Right pane (Fig. 05), double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box as shown in Fig. 06. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.

Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.

9/11 was Q33N ....Open your Notepad in ur computer and type the flight
number i.e Q33N... Increase the Font Size to 72, Change the Font to
Wingdings. U will be amazed by the findings.

log trick !! make ur Notepad a diary !!

Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don’t like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG in the first line of your text file and close it.
Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.

WHY?

The reason this happens:

In notepad, any other 4-3-3-5 letter word combo will have the same results.
It is all to do with a limitation in Windows. Text files containing Unicode UTF-16-encoded Unicode are supposed to start with a "Byte-Order Mark" (BOM), which is a two-byte flag that tells a reader how the following UTF-16 data is encoded.

1) You are saving to 8-bit Extended ASCII (Look at the Save As / Encoding format)
2) You are reading from 16-bit UNICODE (You guessed it, look at the Save As / Encoding format)
This is why the 18 8-bit characters are being displayed as 9 (obviously not supported by your codepage) 16-bit UNICODE characters

&l Left-align the characters that follow
&c Center the characters that follow
&r Right-align the characters that follow
&d Print the current date
&t Print the current time
&f Print the name of the document
&p Print the page number

10 customization tricks for Windows XP

2010-03-09T23:28:00.001+11:00

Create your own Sleep button in Windows XP

Is the Sleep button on your Windows XP machine in an inconvenient location for regular use? If so, follow these

simple steps to create your own.

Many computers or keyboards have a Sleep button, which when pressed puts the computer into either Stand By

or Hibernate mode depending on how Windows XP's Power Options are configured. However, the Sleep button

might not be in convenient location for regular use. For example, it might be on the front of a mid-tower case that's

under your desk.

You could activate Stand By or Hibernate mode from the Shut Down Windows dialog box. An alternative to this

method is to create your own Sleep button by creating a shortcut on your desktop. Here's how.

1. Right-click on the desktop.

2. Select New | Shortcut.

3. Type rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState in the text box.

4. Click Next.

5. Type Sleep in the text box and click Finish.

Now when you click the Sleep icon, Windows XP will put the computer into either Stand By or Hibernate mode

depending on how the When I Press The Sleep Button On My Computer setting is configured on the Advanced

tab of the Power Options Properties dialog box.

Liven up your desktop with Windows XP's animated pointer schemes

Windows XP has a variety of built-in animated pointer schemes. Here's how you can start using some of these

little-known tricks. Note: This tip applies to both Windows XP Professional and Home.

Let's face it. There are times in every IT person's week when the urgent need for high-powered technical

intelligence wanes a bit—especially on a slow Friday afternoon. Those are the times when technical prowess

turns to such tasks as fine-tuning the advanced settings of the ultimate OpenGL 3D screen saver or other system

tweaks. The next time you find yourself in this situation, why not investigate some of Windows XP's built-in

animated pointer schemes?

Here's how.

1. Go to Start | Control Panel and double-click the Mouse tool to access the Mouse Properties dialog box.

2. Select the Pointers tab.

3. In the Scheme drop-down list, select a scheme from the list. (Keep in mind that not all of the pointer schemes

in the list are animated, and some of the pointer schemes are designed for Windows Accessibility features.)

4. Once you select a pointer scheme, you can view the various animated pointers in that scheme by scrolling

through the Customize list and selecting the pointer. When you do, you'll see the animation in a frame

adjacent to the Scheme drop-down list.

5. Click OK.

If you wish, you can create your own animated scheme by double-clicking a pointer in the Customize list,

selecting from one of the available pointers, and then clicking the Save As button in the Scheme panel and

providing a unique name.

Simplify copy and paste operations in Windows XP

Copying and pasting in Windows XP is simple enough—but how would you like to make it even easier? Teach

some old keys new tricks and simplify the copy and paste process in both Professional and Home versions.

Do you spend a lot of time on your Windows XP machine researching IT-related topics on the Internet? If so,

chances are that you probably spend time copying text from interesting Web sites and then pasting that text into

word processing documents for later reference. That's four separate keyboard strokes—[Ctrl]C to copy and [Ctrl]V

to paste—each time you want to save snippets of text. Wouldn't it be nice if you could reduce each operation to a

single keystroke? Well, you can!

If you have a Microsoft keyboard that provides a special set of buttons across the top, you can use the IntelliType

software to reassign any of the special buttons to perform the copy and paste operations.

Here's how.

1. Download and install the most current version of the IntelliType software for your keyboard from the Microsoft

Hardware site. (This step is optional because the IntelliType software you have installed will allow you to

reassign the special buttons.)

2. Access the Control Panel and double-click the Keyboard icon to display the Keyboard Properties dialog box.

3. Select the Key Settings tab, choose a key in the list, and click the Edit button to launch the Reassign A Key

wizard.

4. Select the Choose From A List Of Commands option button in the Custom section and click Next.

5. In the Select A Command From The List scrolling list box, select the Copy command and click Finish.

6. Repeat steps 3 through 5 and assign another key to the Paste command.

7. When you return to the Keyboard Properties dialog box, click OK.

Now, anytime you want to perform a copy or paste operation, all you have to do is press the buttons that you

reassigned. Likewise for a paste-only operation.

Make the Windows XP Favorites menu more useful in Windows Explorer

Your favorite menu just got better at dealing with your Favorites. This shortcut will let you cut through the maze of

folders on your Windows XP machine running Windows Explorer. Note: This tip applies to both Windows XP

Professional and Home.

Similar to Internet Explorer, the Favorites menu in Windows XP appears in Windows Explorer. This makes it easy

for you to access the Internet from within Windows Explorer. However, it really serves no other purpose in

Windows Explorer—even though it has the potential to do so much more.

You can make hard disk and network navigation much easier and more efficient if you use the Favorites menu as

a place to keep shortcuts to deeply nested folders on your hard disk, as well as to network drives you access

frequently. Doing so just takes a bit of rethinking about how you use and organize the Favorites menu.

Here's how.

1. Press [Windows]R to access the Run dialog box, type Favorites in the Open text box, and click OK to open the

Favorites folder in Windows Explorer.

2. Use the Make A New Folder command in the File And Folder Tasks pane to create three new folders, naming

them Internet, Local Folders, and Network Folders.

3. Move all of your Internet links, except the folder titled Links, into the newly created Internet folder.

4. Navigate to some of the deeply nested folders on your hard disk that you access frequently and use the Add To

Favorites command on the Favorites menu to create links in the Local Folders folder.

5. Navigate to some of the network shares that you access frequently and use the Add To Favorites command to

create links in the Network Folders folder.

Now, when you're in Windows Explorer you can use the Local Folders and Network Folders shortcuts on the

Favorites menu to make quick work of your regular hard disk and network navigation.

Add a Safe Mode option to the Boot menu in Windows XP

Follow these steps to add a Safe Mode option to the Boot menu.

When you're experiencing a problem with Windows XP, you may need to boot the system into Safe Mode more

than once. However, doing so can be a tiresome process. When the Boot menu appears, you must press [F8],

and then you must select Safe Mode from yet another menu.

Wouldn't it be nice if Safe Mode were available from the Boot menu? In fact, it's relatively easy to add a Safe

Mode option to the Boot menu.

Here's how.

1. Press [Windows][Break] to open the System Properties dialog box.

2. On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the Startup And Recovery section.

3. In the System Startup section, click the Edit button.

4. When the Boot.ini file opens in Notepad, locate the line that ends with the /fastdetect switch.

5. Highlight and copy that line and paste it in the line below.

6. Change the section on the line that reads WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" to

WINDOWS="Safe Mode."

7. Add the following to the end of the line:

/safeboot:minimal /sos /bootlog

Modify the Open With list in Windows XP

Follow these steps to modify the Open With list.

If you open certain types of files in more than one application, you probably use the Open With command. To do

so, right-click a file, and select Open With from the resulting shortcut menu. This displays a secondary menu

listing the programs that can open this type of file.

In most cases, the Open With list presents only those programs that you'll want to use. But if the list contains

programs that you never want to use, you can remove them with a simple registry edit. Note: Editing the

registry is risky, so be sure you have a verified backup before making any changes.

Here's how.

1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.

3. Double-click the key associated with the file extension of the file type whose Open With list you want to modify.

4. When that key opens, double-click the OpenWithList key.

5. Delete the value associated with the program that you want to remove from the list.

Switch to Windows' basic search tool in XP

Learn how to switch from the Windows XP Search Companion to the basic search tool.

As you probably know, the Windows XP Search Companion provides users with a lot of bells and whistles

designed to make searching for files on hard drives much easier. But sometimes all of these extra features just

get in the way.

If you're longing for Windows 2000's basic search tool, it doesn't have to be in vain. The basic search tool is still

available in Windows XP, and you can activate it with a quick registry edit. Note: Editing the registry is risky, so

be sure you have a verified backup before making any changes.

Here's how.

1. Open the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState.

3. Go to Edit | New | String Value.

4. Name the new value Use Search Asst.

5. Double-click the new value, type no in the Value Data text box, and click OK.

6. Close the Registry Editor, and restart the system.

To switch back to the Search Companion, just go back to the Registry Editor, and change the Value Data to yes.

Add UNC information to the command prompt in XP

Here’s a trick for configuring the command prompt to display the full UNC of a mapped drive letter.

If you're like most system administrators, you more than likely prefer to perform common tasks using Windows

XP's vast array of command-line tools. If so, here's another trick to add to your toolbox.

Did you know that you can configure the command prompt to display the full UNC of a mapped drive letter? The

ability to tell at a glance which server a particular driver letter maps to can save you both time and frustration

when working at the command line. All you have to do is add a special character to the Prompt command.

Here's how.

1. Press [Windows][Break] to open the System Properties dialog box.

2. On the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.

3. In the System Variables section, click the New button.

4. Enter PROMPT in the Variable Name text box.

5. Enter $m$p$g in the Variable Value text box.

6. Click OK three times to close all open dialog boxes.

Now, when you open a command prompt and access a mapped drive letter, you'll see the UNC path in the

prompt.

Create a drive menu for My Computer

Set My Computer to work like a menu for easier access to the drives you need.

By default, the My Computer item on the Start menu is configured to work like a standard folder window. If you

need to access a specific drive, select My Computer from the Start menu, wait a moment for the window to

appear, and then double-click the icon for the drive you need to access.

When you're in a hurry, this two-step procedure can be time-consuming and frustrating—especially if My

Computer contains a large number of drive icons. However, Windows XP makes it easy for you to configure My

Computer so it works like a menu, with each drive listed as a menu item.

Here's how.

1. Right-click the Start button, and select Properties.

2. Click Customize, which is adjacent to the Start Menu radio button, and select Advanced.

3. Scroll through the Start Menu Items list box until you see My Computer.

4. Select Display As A Menu, and click OK twice.

Now, when you select My Computer from the Start menu, you'll see a menu of individual drives. To access the

contents of that drive, just select the drive letter from the menu.

Use registry shortcuts to disable and enable screensavers in Win XP

The steps in this tip will show you how to edit the registry for a time-saving shortcut for enabling and disabling

your screensaver.

When you perform maintenance operations such as defragmenting or backing up the hard disk, you probably

disable your screensaver before you begin to prevent it from interfering with the maintenance operation. However,

disabling your screensaver manually is a multistep operation that involves accessing the Display Properties dialog

box, navigating to the Screen Saver tab, and setting the screen saver to None. Then, you need to re-enable the

screen saver after you complete the maintenance operation.

Fortunately, you can automate the disabling and enabling screen saver procedures with a couple of registry

shortcuts. Note: Editing the registry is risky, so make sure you have a verified backup before making any

changes.

Here's how.

1. Launch Notepad and type the following four lines. (Note: The second line must be blank.)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"ScreenSaveActive"="0"

2. Save the file to your desktop with the name Disable Screen Saver.reg.

3. Change the 0 to a 1 in the fourth line.

4. Save the file to your desktop with the name Enable Screen Saver.reg.

Now, when you need to disable the screen saver, just double-click the Disable Screen Saver.reg shortcut. To

enable the screen saver, double-click the Enable Screen Saver.reg shortcut.

When you run either of these files, the Registry Editor will display two confirmation prompts—one before making

the change and one after making the change.

Deleting System Softwares:

XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/ sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.

===================================================================

Creating Shutdown Icon or One Click Shutdown:

Navigate to your desktop. On the desktop, right-click and go to New, then to Shortcut (in other words, create a new shortcut). You should now see a pop-up window instructing you to enter a command line path.
Use this path in "Type Location of the Item"
SHUTDOWN -s -t 01
If the C: drive is not your local hard drive, then replace "C" with the correct letter of the hard drive. Click the "Next" button. Name the shortcut and click the "Finish" button. Now whenever you want to shut down, just click on this shortcut and you're done.

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc

To get it back:

Click Start then Run and type " gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy then Computer Configuration then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."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%.It works on Win 2000 as well.

===================================================================

Renaming The Recycle Bin icon:

To change the name of the Recycle Bin desktop icon, click Start then goto Run, write Regedit and press Enter. It opens Registry Editor. Now in Registry Editor go to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ ROOT/CLSID/ {645FF040- 5081-101B- 9F08-00AA002F954 E}
and change the name "Recycle Bin" to whatever you want (don't type any quotes).

Managing Tasks:
You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.

===================================================================

Removing Shared Documents folder From My Computer window:

Open registry editor by going to Start then Run and entering regedit. Once in registry, navigate to key

Rapidshare Hacked

2010-03-09T23:22:00.001+11:00

Rapidshare Hacked, unlimited upload, no countdown

UNLIMITED download/upload
Its very easy to fool Rapid Share server if your IP address is assigned by your ISP. Just follow these simple steps:

clean up IE or netscape or Firefox cookie( In this case the one that belong to rapidshare website)
On Command prompt (open MS-DOS)
type -----> ipconfig /flushdns <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /release <---Enter
type -----> ipconfig /renew <---Enter
type -----> exit <--------Enter

Or save these commands in a bat file and run it everytime you need to fool Rapidshare server. Remember to clean up rapidshare cookie in your temp Internet files folder.

Now you should be ready to download/upload as many files as you want from their server.

another way, get proxies from the internet and apply to the browser.
some of proxies might not work though...

Note:
If you are on a LAN and behind a router (using NAT, for example)---this will not work.
If you use a fixed proxy--- this will not work.
If you have a fixed IP address from your ISP or college or employer or whatever -- this will not work.
If you happen to get the same IP address from your DHCP server because it's assigned to you -- this will not work

NO waiting
THIS "cheat" for RAPIDSHARE DOWNLOADS eliminates the "WAITING" for the file. No more COUNTDOWNS. So heres what you do:

1. First, Find a rapidshare download.
2. Hit the FREE BUTTON, like always.
3. While your waiting for it to countdown, change the URL in the bar to:
Code:
java script:c(countdown = 0);
and hit ENTER or the GO button over and over. Eachtime you do so, it decreases 10-20 seconds. Few times and the link appears.
or you can simply do the code below ONCE
java script: for (i=0; i<30; i++) { c(); }

15 FIRE FOX TRICKS
Labels: 15 FIRE FOX TRICKS

Everybody’s favorite open-source browser, Firefox, is great right out of the box. And by adding some of the awesome extensions available out there, the browser just gets better and better.

But look under the hood, and there are a bunch of hidden (and some not-so-secret) tips and tricks available that will crank Firefox up and pimp your browser. Make it faster, cooler, more efficient. Get to be a Jedi master with the following cool Firefox tricks.

1) More screen space. Make your icons small. Go to View - Toolbars - Customize and check the “Use small icons” box

2) Smart keywords. If there’s a search you use a lot (let’s say IMDB.com’s people search), this is an awesome tool that not many people use. Right-click on the search box, select “Add a Keyword for this search”, give the keyword a name and an easy-to-type and easy-to-remember shortcut name (let’s say “actor”) and save it. Now, when you want to do an actor search, go to Firefox’s address bar, type “actor” and the name of the actor and press return. Instant search! You can do this with any search box.

3) Keyboard shortcuts
This is where you become a real Jedi. It just takes a little while to learn these, but once you do, your browsing will be super fast. Here are some of the most common (and my personal favs):

* Spacebar (page down)
* Shift-Spacebar (page up)
* Ctrl+F (find)
* Alt-N (find next)
* Ctrl+D (bookmark page)
* Ctrl+T (new tab)
* Ctrl+K (go to search box)
* Ctrl+L (go to address bar)
* Ctrl+= (increase text size)
* Ctrl+- (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-W (close tab)
* F5 (reload)
* Alt-Home (go to home page)

4) Auto-complete
This is another keyboard shortcut, but it’s not commonly known and very useful. Go to the address bar (Control-L) and type the name of the site without the “www” or the “.com”. Let’s say “google”. Then press Control-Enter, and it will automatically fill in the “www” and the “.com” and take you there - like magic! For .net addresses, press Shift-Enter, and for .org addresses, press Control-Shift-Enter.

5) Tab navigation.
Instead of using the mouse to select different tabs that you have open, use the keyboard. Here are the shortcuts:

* Ctrl+Tab (rotate forward among tabs)
* Ctrl+Shft+Tab (rotate to the previous tab)
* Ctrl+1-9 (choose a number to jump to a specific tab)

6) Mouse shortcuts.
Sometimes you’re already using your mouse and it’s easier to use a mouse shortcut than to go back to the keyboard. Master these cool ones:

* Middle click on link (opens in new tab)
* Shift-scroll down (previous page)
* Shift-scroll up (next page)
* Ctrl-scroll up (decrease text size)
* Ctrl-scroll down (increase text size)
* Middle click on a tab (closes tab)

7) Delete items from address bar history.
Firefox’s ability to automatically show previous URLs you’ve visited, as you type, in the address bar’s drop-down history menu is very cool. But sometimes you just don’t want those URLs to show up (I won’t ask why). Go to the address bar (Ctrl-L), start typing an address, and the drop-down menu will appear with the URLs of pages you’ve visited with those letters in them. Use the down-arrow to go down to an address you want to delete, and press the Delete key to make it disappear.

8) User chrome.
If you really want to trick out your Firefox, you’ll want to create a UserChrome.css file and customize your browser. It’s a bit complicated to get into here, but check out this tutorial.

9) Create a user.js file. Another way to customize Firefox, creating a user.js file can really speed up your browsing. You’ll need to create a text file named user.js in your profile folder (see this to find out where the profile folder is) and see this example user.js file that you can modify. Created bytechlifeweb.com, this example explains some of the things you can do in its comments.

10) about:config.
The true power user’s tool, about.config isn’t something to mess with if you don’t know what a setting does. You can get to the main configuration screen by putting about:config in the browser’s address bar. See Mozillazine’s about:config tips and screenshots.

11) Add a keyword for a bookmark.
Go to your bookmarks much faster by giving them keywords. Right-click the bookmark and then select Properties. Put a short keyword in the keyword field, save it, and now you can type that keyword in the address bar and it will go to that bookmark.

12) Speed up Firefox.
If you have a broadband connection (and most of us do), you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. This allows Firefox to load multiple things on a page at once, instead of one at a time (by default, it’s optimized for dialup connections). Here’s how:

* Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Type “network.http” in the filter field, and change the following settings (double-click on them to change them):
* Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”
* Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to a number like 30. This will allow it to make 30 requests at once.
* Also, right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0?. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

13) Limit RAM usage.
If Firefox takes up too much memory on your computer, you can limit the amount of RAM it is allowed to us. Again, go to about:config, filter “browser.cache” and select “browser.cache.disk.capacity”. It’s set to 50000, but you can lower it, depending on how much memory you have. Try 15000 if you have between 512MB and 1GB ram1

14) Reduce RAM usage further for when Firefox is minimized.
This setting will move Firefox to your hard drive when you minimize it, taking up much less memory. And there is no noticeable difference in speed when you restore Firefox, so it’s definitely worth a go. Again, go to about:config, right-click anywhere and select New-> Boolean. Name it “config.trim_on_minimize” and set it to TRUE. You have to restart Firefox for these settings to take effect.

15) Move or remove the close tab button.
Do you accidentally click on the close button of Firefox’s tabs? You can move them or remove them, again through about:config. Edit the preference for “browser.tabs.closeButtons”. Here are the meanings of each value:

* 0: Display a close button on the active tab only
* 1:(Default) Display close buttons on all tabs
* 2:Don’t display any close buttons
* 3:Display a single close button at the end of the tab bar (Firefox 1.x behavior)

This tricks will improve the speed & load time of firefox. And you will be able to surf faster..

Type about:config in the address bar, Then look for the following
entries, and make the corresponding changes.

1.network.http.max-connections = 64
2.network.http.max-connections-per-server =32
3.network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy =16
4.network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server = 10
5.network.http.pipelining = true
6.network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 200
7.network.http.proxy.pipelining = true
8.network.http.proxy.version = 1.0
9.network.http.request.max-start-delay = 0

Lastly right-click anywhere and select New- Integer. Name it
nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0. This value is
the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.Enjoy!!
