I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.0 beta. It might have some bugs, but it resolved all the problems I'd been having earlier with Firefox crashing in gmail.

Last week I found a bug in the new NCBI BLAST interface.
Of course, I reported it to the NCBI help desk so it will probably get fixed sometime soon. But it occurred to me, especially after seeing people joke about whether computer science is really a science or not, that it might surprise people…
Ubuntu Linux 15.04 will be released in April.
There is not a lot new for the average desktop user in the new release, as far as I can tell. One good "change" is a feature called "locally integrated menus." This is where the menus are, by default, where they are supposed to be, instead of, well,…
During my visit to India last month, I promised myself that I would accomplish one important task. I would do everything in my power to eliminate the tech support role that I was playing to my parents. You see, my parents had inherited (ah, sweet pun) a desktop computer from me and in my absence…

Following two simple guidelines would help: 1) Don't ever change the function of installed software unless the user has requested it (don't even suggest it. Just sit there quietly until told othewise) and 2) Don't evern install new software. Ever. That is…
I'm looking forward to the fact that Firefox 3.0 is supposed to fix the irritating problem with long title attributes that display when you hover over an element getting truncated rather than displayed over multiple lines like every other browser seems to do.

Well, I'm looking forward to firefox not using 2G of RAM everytime I leave it open overnight.

I installed the latest download that FF shoved at me and now I can't right-click and save pictures. (At my last contract, I quickly combed through my blog and saved some of the better images for the photo-album slide-show screen-saver.)

Gmail works fine for me but I've been having problems with my browsers crasing that I asked for advice with here, but haven't gotten a response. Maybe upgrading to Firefox 3.0 will do the trick though.
I had some problems with Gmail recently, and now I attribute them to the Better Gmail extension.
Google had recently updated my Gmail interface to the newer one, and Better Gmail was written to work with the older one.
I removed it and installed Better Gmail 2 - now all is well again.
