MozBackup

As great as it is to have tools such as Firefox and Thunderbird, backing them up can be a tedious process. MozBackup is a tiny program that makes saving and restoring all your bookmarks, extensions, and other personal settings a streamlined and stress-free experience.

The program works with Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and Netscape on Windows platforms. It doesn't work with Firefox Portable, Sunbird, Songbird, or Flock, but for standard Windows iterations of the programs in the Mozilla suite, it's almost silly to not use this program.

Close the program you want to back up, then run MozBackup. Choose backup or restore, then the application. Select the program profile and the location to save the backup, and whether you want to password protect the file. Lastly, choose which parts of the profile you want to save or restore, which range from from e-mails and address books to extensions and history, from certificates, and passwords to bookmarks and your cache.

To back up Netscape, choose the Mozilla Suite option.

Restoring a profile works the same way, but what makes the app extremely useful is that it doesn't differentiate from a restore and a clean install. So if you've got a specific or complicated set of extensions and settings on your work machine, and merely thinking about how to transfer them makes you want to revert to using an Underwood, MozBackup should quell your fears.

Take Snap Shot of a website in your browser. firefox addon

Screengrab! saves webpages as images...
It will capture what you can see in the window, the entire page, just a selection, a particular frame... basically it saves webpages as images - either to a file, or to the clipboard. It captures Flash too!

Go on WebPage if Download Not Start From Here.

Screengrab! saves entire webpages as images.
It will capture what you can see in the window, the entire page, just a selection, a particular frame... basically it saves webpages as images - either to a file, or to the clipboard.
It can capture any Java or Flash embedded in a page, but to do this it requires Java to be installed in the browser.
Sadly, there's a bug in 0.96.2 with Firefox 3.6 (due to a deprecated API call - oops!) that causes a crash on any page containing Flash or Applets if you have Java enabled (sort of the reverse of the last major issue). 0.96.3 is finished and waiting for Mozilla approval to be released. That usually takes a few weeks. My sincerest apologies.
The following little keywords are at the request of those who can't remember the name ScreenGrab! and want searches to work. It takes screen shots, screenshots - that is, shots, of web pages.

WAY TO OPEN BLOCKED SITES

few ways of opening a bloacked page. . .
well here are few ways of opening blocked website . . .

This is for newbies not pros . .

#########################

1- Use IP Address Instead of UR
###############

Sometimes we can easily access blocked websites by using IP address instead of using the complete URL of the web. It depends on the Software or the application used. We can check the IP address of any website by executing ping command in the command prompt.

To run command prompt press “window key+r” and type “cmd” in the text field. suppose you want to check the Yahoo.com IP address type “ping yahoo.com” and hit enter this will return the IP address of yahoo.com as you can see below in screen shot.

################
2- Redirection with Short URL service

#####

Sometimes converting the URL into some undersized URL by using Short URL Services we can easily access banned websites. Here are some Short URL services MooURL, SnipURL, Tiny URL.

###################

3- By using Google Cache

#################

Most of the search engines like Yahoo and Google cached web pages. Web pages are being stored in search engines so we can easily view cached versions of those pages by clicking “Cached” next to the URL in Google search Results, as updated as Google caches it.
########################
4- Use Google Mobile search
##########################

Blocked web pages can access by using Google mobile search, but output may not be optimal. This is very similar to using a Web proxy.

#################

5- Wayback Machine

##########################

This is another way to access blocked websites through cache. Wayback Machine is an Internet Service that frequently keeps a copy of website from the day a website got started. By clicking on the latest copy of what Wayback Machine stored given us access to that blocked website, almost a latest cached copy.

########

6- Using a public Proxy Server

####################

There are many free proxy servers out in the Web. Note that in order to use these you have to change internet connection settings in Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use. To get free proxy click Here.

a. Proxy Surfing – Firefox
Go to: Advanced tab > Network tab > Connection Settings.
Select Manual proxy configuration, insert your proxy under HTTP proxy.

b. Proxy Surfing – Internet Explorer
If you are using Internet Explorer than you have to follow these instructions:
Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings
Check Proxy Server. Insert your proxy URL inside Address.
Important!
Be careful when you are using public proxy servers. It is possible for the guy who is hosting the service to snoop on the data that is passing through. So I wouldn’t recommend putting any important information such credit card details when you are using public proxy server method.

############################

7- Anonymous Surfing

############################

Some site allows you to take advantage of their proxy or domain to surf other sites as no identity. Check out the 100+ anonymous proxy websites to access block websites

############################

8- By using Online Translation Tools

############################

We can also use translation services as a web proxy. Online translation services allow us to translate websites from one language to another user defined languages, and display the translated output in their own pages. Following are the best links; again Google is your best friend for more resources

•Google Translate

•Babel fish site
9- Subscribe to RSS Feed

############################

If the site you want to visit supports the RSS feed, you can easily subscribe and read it with an RSS reader. You can also regularly send the contents of the web to your email using Feed service.

############################

10- Get Web Pages via email

############################

This is useful way if you need a single Web Page. Obviously accessing large files is not possible in that way. Web2Mail provides us free services that send websites to our email addresses. All you need to do is send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL as subject title.

############################

11- Use Tor Distributed Proxy

############################

Tor is an advanced proxy server using multiple anonymous servers for a single Web request. This requires an application to be downloaded and installed.

############################
############################

12- Your own proxy server

############################

This is an advanced technique and is probably the best. This requires your own proxy server hosted either at your home or at a HSP (Hosting Service Provider). You can enable SSL encryption and prevent any snooping on the content as well. Also put some access control, otherwise someone can find the service and misuse it. You can use following server to do that;
•Apache Web server as proxy server- A bit complex setup.
•Privoxy- This is the recommended approach.

############################

13- Use alternate content providers

############################

When everything fails, you can use alternate service providers. For example if Gmail is blocked at your place, you can take another obscure mail address and enable email forward at Gmail.

You can use above methods to access blocked websites, facebook, disabled mode websites, sites at school, web pages, youtube and more…

More about this add-on

LeechBlock is a simple productivity tool designed to block those time-wasting sites that can suck the life out of your working day. (You know: the ones that rhyme with 'Blue Cube', 'Pie Face', 'Space Hook', 'Hash Pot', 'Sticky Media', and the like.) All you need to do is specify which sites to block and when to block them.
You can specify up to six sets of sites to block, with different times and days for each set. You can block sites within fixed time periods (e.g., between 9am and 5pm), after a time limit (e.g., 10 minutes in every hour), or with a combination of time periods and time limit (e.g., 10 minutes in every hour between 9am and 5pm). You can also set a password for access to the extension options, just to slow you down in moments of weakness!
The sites to block can be specified using wildcards (e.g., *.somesite.com) and exceptions (e.g., +allowme.somesite.com).
LeechBlock also keeps track of the total amount of time you have spent browsing the sites in each block set.

FIREFOX SPEED HACK HOW TO SPEEDUP FIREFOX

Yes, firefox is already pretty damn fast but did you know that you can tweak it and improve the speed even more?

That's the beauty of this program being open source.
Here's what you do:
In the URL bar, type “about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.

Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.

Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.

Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300

One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a 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. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.

Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
