Here at OStatic, we regularly round up educational posts and new ideas for users of open source. Collections of open source tools, some compiled by us and some compiled by others, can take you in new directions and make you more productive. Here, below the fold, are 8 useful collections of open source tools and tips to try.
This week is a big one for open source browsers, which, as we've pointed out many times, are responsible for most of the innovation going on in the browser arena. The first beta version of Firefox 3.6 is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and you can get it here. Meanwhile, Google has delivered a very fast new beta version of the Chrome browser, and it features bookmark syncing so that you can keep your bookmarks streamlined across multiple computers.
Mozilla is out with version 2.0 of its SeaMonkey hybrid browser and email platform, based on Firefox and Thunderbird. There is a long list of additions to the new version, which you can peruse here. SeaMonkey didn't use the exact same core as the Firefox browser before, but now shares the the core of Firefox 3.5.4. Among other things, that means extensions should work more dependably than they did before. Here are some of the other important improvements.
i was trying to use a bot in mobster on myspace cant seen to get them working
Firefox 3.5 has been great but more than half my Firefox plug-ins are broken! Add-Ons like Alexa sparky and Google desktop search haven't been working since I installed v 3.5 about a week ago. At first I thought it was simply a matter of time before Alexa, Google and others updated them and today when I went to the Firefox add-on site - I found out that they already have versions that are compatible with 3.5!!
I've gone in and uninstalled the old versions and added the new versions but HAS to be an easier/automated way to do this! Is it something I'm missing??
I have installed chrome last week.. It was working fine at that time. There was a torjan/virus infection on my winlogon.exe recently and I realized this when I have to start my computer two times, in order to succesffully login to the system.. Anyway AVG antivirus has found and cleaned the virus. I made a full system search with it and also used Spyware Doctor for a possible spyware infection too.. Now as far as I see there is nothing in the system.. However chrome started to not work on any site giving the error belows. iexplorer and firefox seems to be working on some basic sites and for some others giving "Content Encoding Error".(Eventhough I have reinstalled them)
Chrom is giving (net::ERR_FAILED): for all sites... I don't want to reinstall whole system just for this strange situation. any suggestions?
I noticed that sometimes a cached object doesn't show up in the Net tab that it was loaded and other times it shows up as a HTTP 304 response. Does anyone know what causes the difference between the two?
