Firefox windows maximize alone
Aug 21, 2008 Tips
Some sites with JavaScript support of forcing the windows of Firefox (other browsers as well) to move up and adjust themselves automatically without our control.
- Screenshot of Firefox. (Edit 'Preferences)
The part of 'without our control' is not quite true. To do so just go to Edit 'Preferences' Content and get the check in "move or resize existing windows."
Simple and practical ...

Take a screenshot website
Jul 9, 2008 Tips
Many of you already need to take a PRT SC (read up print screen) to any page you find.
While this process is relatively easy on Linux, with the gnome-screenshot, the browser windows appear when the final image.
- A method for easy and multi platform, is to use the internet!
The site Thumbalizr can take a page to NTP SC (visible - for a standard screen) and / or the full page. Link. - Another way is to use Firefox with a plug-in. There are several. There is for instance the Abduction. Take the PRT SC full page or just part of it.

Tips and shortcuts for Firefox
Jul 6, 2008 Tips
With some tips / shortcuts can make our experience with the Fire Rapoza better.
Shortcuts / keyboard shortcuts
There are several. You can see this page which are well represented / explained.
But my most used are:
- [Ctrl] + [K]: the cursor deslica up to the frame's search firefox.
- [Ctrl] + [Up or Down]: If the cursor is in the frame of research and do these shortcuts, you will change the search engine's frame.
- [Ctrl] + [L] or [M]: the cursor moves up to the frame of url.
Tip
The frame is the url to the search function or even better.
For example, you want to go to gmail, instead of typing "www.gmail.com", just simply write "gmail", which are forwarded to the right page. Another example is "yahoo mail" (yes with space) and are re-routed to the right page.
The frame of url works like this:
- If you wrote the text and is not url, and that text has very related to a certain page (see previous examples), you are redirected to this page.
- If the text is not linked to a page in particular, are redirected to Google to search the text you wrote. Try it. It is difficult to explain more ...
Do some tests with RTP, RTP1, download IE.
Soon this tip will nab you! 
Try and share your thoughts.

Access shortcuts Gnome Panel
Jul 5, 2008 Tips
Sometimes you need to know what the command of a program to start the console .. To debug and so on.
The usual method they use is to go to the gnome panel, edit menu, find the shortcut of the program in question and see your options. I did that several times. And it is boring.
Today I discovered a simple way! Very simple. Just drag the shortcut menu that is on the gnome to an open window in firefox.
Then find the line that begins with:
Exec:
The following should be the command to launch the application ..
I did not say it was simple?

Firefox goes offline
Jul 1, 2008 Uncategorized, how-to
A bug that Firefox 3 shows, is that maybe if he is ever open and there is no Internet connection, it will always start when offline. A little annoying.
To resolve this bug, we will edit the NetworkManager.conf. But first, back up!
# cp /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf.2008.07.01
# gedit /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
Now we can replace all strings:
allow send_interface = "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
by:
deny send_interface = "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
Getting something like:
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
"-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<policy user="root">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
<policy user="haldaemon">
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
<policy group="netdev">
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
<policy at_console="true">
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
<policy context="default">
<deny own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
<limit name="max_replies_per_connection">512</limit>
</busconfig>
