2. search which engine you want, for example , baidu.com

3. just click, add it.

I opened sync function of Zotero several days ago, because I use Zotero in Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows 7.

It works.

URL can be saved by Xmark, and web page can be saved by Zotero.

This is why I like Firefox.

I have read several articles about Chinese fonts setting under Ubuntu, the solutions they suggest are not suitable for me.

This is my setting for Ubuntu 10.10, the effect of Firefox is almost the same as IE6 under Windows XP.

Just a recorder,

1. StarDict, with dictionary Langdao and Oxford

2. Firefox: Xmarks, Zotero

3. Docky

4. Ubuntu-tweak

5. Gimp

6. Filezilla

7. Movie Player, update to support AVI, RMVB

8. VMware worksation 7.1.3, and VirtualBox 4.0.2

9. 7zip

10. Freemind

11. ThunderBird: lighting, provider for google calendar

(Google calendar login, setting, share calendar, calendar detail, right click image “XML” for private address, copy link, paste into new network calender in lighting)

12. Wallpapoz, delete the background image it already set.

Installed another addon: Sxipper, to auto fill login information, including username, password, and other items.

Learn and apply.

It’s how Sxipper works.

The following content is COPIED.

Assuming that you want to change your default search engine to Bing here are the steps to do it:
Make sure you do this carefully.

1. Open about:config in Firefox
2. Search for keyword.url from the filter box.
3. Double click on this entry. It will open a dialog where you can edit the ‘keyword.url’ string.
4. Change this string to http://www.bing.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=

In case you want to change the default search engine to some other search engine like Google, Yahoo, Ask, Conduit, Altavista etc. then simply replace searchengine with the name of the search engine in the string:

“http://www.searchengine.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=“

For example in case of Google, the url will be:
“http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=“

Can’t bear Firefox V3.5 any more, so back to V3.0.13, and update to V3.0.14.

But, still slow in its first startup.

Remove lots of plugins, only keep,

1. IE Tab

2. Zotero

3. Xmarks

4. Alexa Sparky

5. Gmail Manager

Maybe all these add-ons is why I like Firefox, and not give up to Maxthon.

Have tested Maxthon which is IE Kernel, two words to describe it “like light”.

But, I do NOT like its Adv in left-bottom status bar.

If, Mathon provide Zotero and Xmarks, and discard its Adv, ……………..  Hehe, it’s impossible. It’s more like a company.

Today, remove most plugins in Firefox V3.5.2 in order to improve its startup speed.

It seems having no effect after clearing up.

Firefox V3.5.2 starts up  slower than IE V6.0, and often crashs.

I have reported many times about the crash related with bookmark’s operation since V2, it’s still in this version.

After you create a bookmark or folder in left side bar, move it immediately, this operation will make Firefox crash.

If you tired of Firefox, Mathon will be a good choice to replaceV3.5.2, URL: http://www.maxthon.com/

I still use Firefox because of its powerful plugins, such as Xmarks, Alexa, and Zotera.

Firefox V3.5.2 is still in pre-release version, it’s hurry to publish, and harms its reputation.

Plugins in my Firefox V3.5 now,

1. Alexa Sparky

2. Gmail Manager

3. IE Tab

4. Java Quick Starter

5. Xmarks

6. Zotero

all of them are active.

Updated Firefox from 3.0.5 to 3.5.2. It’s a failure update because V3.5 has a long startup and is not compatible with some website. Also it seemed V3.5 want more CPU.

Now, Plugins and Addons in Firefox  V3.5.2,

• Alexa Sparky(Usally disable)
• FEBE(can be deleted)
• IE Tab
• Java Quick Starter(can be deleted)
• Xmarks
• Zotero
