We know that Firefox is immensely popular among the tech savvy crowd, especially because it allows users to install various add ons which help in delivering a better user experience.

However like any other browser, problems with firefox could arise anytime, the most notorious being the heavy memory usage which causes it to crash. Firefox 3 , which is scheduled for release this June, should take care of that, but the other issues which users face primarily due to the add ons, cannot be resolved completely.

For those who don’t know, I am a big fan of Gmail and am always searching for tools, tips and tricks to further optimize it and enhance its functions.

In my quest for gmail productivity tools, I came across GTD Inbox, an awesome firefox addon which helps you make your gmail as your ultimate task manager and helps you keep a clean inbox without a hassle. ‘ GTD ‘ means getting things done and thats what it aims to do with your gmail.

Let me describe what it does. It primarily aims at giving structure and meaning to the chaos of your inbox. It considers each email as a task and lets you manage it with a few clicks. Hence it primarily helps you to reorganize your emails according to your priorities.

We know that the twitter community is pretty active all the time. So if you want to check whats hot on twitter and see trends related to different terms, then there is a nice tool called Twist , which is a part of the Flaptor real time twitter search engine.

Twist allows you put different terms separated by commas and then generates a chart showing the trends. So I decided to compare Obama and Hillary and check who is being talked about more, in twitter. Here’s what I got :-

I discovered a new firefox trick today, which I thought will be good to share. Its very simple and I don’t know if its quite common too.

The trick is that you can drag and drop tabs and arrange them in your order of preference. Sounds cool, isn’t it?

Now I would love to know how many of you knew this and how many discovered it through this post. Wanna find out if it was too common

I have always liked Zoho products because they are always innovating and trying to enhance the user experience. I frequently use their products in my daily life, Zoho Writer being the primary one.

So today when I tried to log in to Zoho Writer, I found that there was also an option to sign in using Google/ Yahoo account. It first asks to sign in to the corresponding account and then you need to give permission to Zoho to access the details.

Surchur is a new and different kind of search tool. It takes search keywords and instead of displaying the results as a long list of websites, it segregates the results in pages, pictures, news, videos and products.

I was facing some problems in Firefox since few days. It usually used to auto refresh pages and was not displaying some pages properly.

I checked some settings and found that it was due to the Skype Firefox Add On which I had installed recently. I uninstalled it and things started working fine. I thought it to be an issue just with my system and didn’t post about it. But then I came across this post in ghacks where it says that many users have faced such an issue.
