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. This Fix is for this particular add-on from Firefox but the same steps can be used on any other plugin, you just have to find the script that checks the page rank and change the url that is currently calling for the new one. I am assuming that you already have install the add-on on your computer , if you haven't done it yet , go ahead an download it and installing first, then come back to the tutorial.

I've been a Firefox fan since its beginnings, but I've been struggling with some issues ever since Version 3.6; First every website that uses the Helvetica Font, became  Arial as from Version 3.6; Then the Delicious plugin that I love so much, was no longer compatible on version 4.0 and up,  fortunately I found a way to install it and went through the tweak in every Release ( since every time I update it, the Delicious plugin broke again, they fixed this on Version 6.0 and up ) , but now that Firefox 7 is released and is supposed to be better, faster and less memory consuming, it turns out that every now and then it crashes. 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. This issue has only started since the Firefox 7 update, it never occurred in prior versions , and does not happen in Chrome which I am using now, despite not really liking it. So I went nuts … [Read more...]

If you are like me and rely on Delicious on organizing all your online links, webpages and notes, you should have noticed that since you upgraded your Firefox Browser to the 4.0 version your Delicious Install just disappeared, when you go and check your browser Add-ons, you will find it is disable because it is not compatible with your current version. Well is not entirely true, you see the guys from Yahoo ( who formerly owned Delicious ) sold it to the guys that invented Youtube ( Not Google ) So they didn’t bother on doing the upgrades along with Firefox. Well do not worry, because your Delicious Install works great with Firefox 4.0 and 5.0, and here we will show you how to do it… Note: This tutorial works only if you already had Delicious Installed on Firefox and then lost it when upgrading to 4.0 or 4.1 or 5.0. If you want to do a Fresh Install of Delicious you can do it by following this tutorial > How to Install Delicious on Firefox 5.0 Within Firefox’s Menu … [Read more...]

Firefox_Second_Language

I found this little tweak looking for a way to change Firefox’s Language in seconds without having to uninstall and then install, since I write in several blogs in different languages this little trick really helped me, mostly when you have to prepare tutorials that need images to guide your visitors without confusing them with a language they are not used to, turning you’re your hard work off the toilet. Maybe you will find other ways this tweak can be useful if so share it with us at the comments section. Now Lets get to work. First you need to install the Firefox language package that suites your needs, in my case it will be Spanish which uses the iso code es ; you can find your language code here: Codes for the Representation of Names of Languages and then copy the ISO 639-1 Code that corresponds to it. With your Language code in hand, go to the Firefox Language Repository, at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/ , Then select your Operating … [Read more...]
