How to Fix PageRank Indicator in Firefox

So we talked about how Google changed their url where PageRank was queried from systems, causing every PageRank add-on and plugin to crash and return a 0 PR o N/A. So there is an easy fix for this, you just have to change the url the your current add-on is using with the new one, here is a quick fix on how to tweak the SEO Status PageRank/Alexa Toolbar 1.5.7 from Ruby Web for Firefox, which gets you the current PageRank of a Webpage and the current Alexa Rank.

Since updating to Firefox 7 , after browsing and working with it for a while , every website  I load just sit there forever trying to load, but never actually doing so.

So I went nuts … [Read more...]
