I was just looking for some aggregator plugin for Firefox when this struck my eyes — A complete “social browser”. Flock looks too good and has some beautiful features. Best of all, the browser is built on Firefox.

Linux and Mac? Yes, of course. Beta still.

I took the liberty to steal the feature list from Wikipedia.

• Flock’s custom homepage, “My World”, tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.
• Bookmarks, in addition to being saved offline, can be replaced with del.icio.us. When a bookmark (known as a favorite) is added, it is added to the user’s del.icio.us account.
• Favorites can be tagged
• A favorites and history section are integrated into the favorites manager
• Built-in full-text search using Clucene (C++ implementation of Lucene). Search as you type for pages in the cache
• Flickr and Photobucket integration
• Technorati tagging
• Blogging tools
• News aggregator
• “Drag-and-drop” capability and a clipboard like feature known as “The Shelf.”
• Media Mini Bar, allows you to search, stream, and view content off of sites like YouTube and Truveo.
• Built in uploader, to submit content to flickr and photobucket

Running web applications offline with Firefox 3.0 is great. But look at this cool trick with your current version of Firefox. Try this URL

After installing AllPeers and using it for a few days, I had my firefox crashed giving me a core dump.

When i tried to open my firefox from my terminal, i got this.

arun@arun-desktop:~$ firefox
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
AllPeers initiated successfully
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Now, will tell you how i solved this issue..

Type
arun@arun-desktop:~$ firefox -safe-mode

You will have a dialog giving a few options.

Do not load your plugins. And once your firefox is up, uninstall or disable All Peers. All Peers knows that there is a bug in there and they are already working on it.

For windows users, get inside the Mozilla Firefox folder and there you can see firefox.exe. Then stay in the Firefox folder and issue the above commands. I dont use Windows. So, if this fix did work, please do leave a comment.

If you have more than one gmail account and you use firefox, you are in deep trouble. Coz, you will need to logout and login to the new account in order to check mails.  If you are a Windows user, here come “a” solution for it. A firefox extension called IE Tab.  “This is a great tool for web developers, since you can easily see how your webpage displayed in IE with just one click and then switch back to Firefox”.

And if you are just like me being crazy about Firefox and/or use Linux in your desktop, then IE Tab is not an option since IE Tab is just for Windows.

Here comes the solution for Linux/Mac & Windows users. CookiePie

“CookiePie is a Firefox extension enabling you to maintain different cookies storage in different tabs and windows. It means that you can for example open multiple GMail/Yahoo Mail/Hotmail accounts in different tabs and windows simulteanously.”
