What would happen though if you setup a master password, got in an accident, were in a coma for six months, and then once you awoke you couldn’t remember what your master password was set to? I’ll help you reset or recover your Firefox master password with one simple tool.

After suggesting a few alternative download links the other day for Firefox themes, I had a few people e-mail me and asking, “How do I install these themes on DeviantArt?”.

With the release of Firefox 2, the browser has done a much better job with handling RSS feeds.
Instead of throwing you up a bunch of random XML code they actually give you a pretty nice interface to learn from and use when clicking on that little orange subscription button you see on all the Web sites these days.

http://feeds.feedburner.com/firefoxfacts
Now when you launch that in Firefox, you will be given a clean [...]
