Speeding up Firefox

If you have a fast computer, you may want to eliminate the quarter-second delay before Firefox draws a page on the screen. If you have a slow machine, you probably want to leave the delay there, because the total time to draw the page on the screen will probably increase.
Here’s how:
  1. Open the Configuration window by typing about:config in the address bar and pressing Enter.
  2. Right-click any blank place in the Configuration window and choose New – Integer Firefox comes up with a New Integer Value dialog box
  3. Type nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the box and click OK. Firefox asks for an integer value.
  4. Type 0 (that’s the number zero) and then click OK. The Configuration window shows a new Preference Name called nglayout.initialpaint.delay, with a value of 0.
  5. Close all the copies of Firefox that are running. The next time you start Firefox, your setting takes effect. Hold onto your hat. That quarter-second can be almost perceptible

View stored Password in Firefox

If you use Firefox to browsing and open a website and then entering a user-name and password on the website, Firefox will give three choices for you, “Remember”, “Never for this Site” and “Not Now”.  If choosing “remember”, your password and username will be stored in Firefox database. This facility very helpful if you often forget with your username and password and using your own computer. But if you use public computer such as office computer or family computer you must select “Never for this Site” and “Not Now” to save your privacy.
If you have clicked “remember”, some one can view and open your personal  information on internet. But i recommend using “never of this site” or “not now” to save your data and never click “remember”

Epson R200, R210, R300, R310 Waste Ink Counter Pad Reset

Here is how to reset the waste counter for the Epson R200, R210, R300 and R310 printers.
  • Press and hold “Stop”, “Maintenance”, and “Power” buttons for about 10 seconds. A message will come on the screen saying counter is reset and to turn the printer off. The R200 and others don’t have a screen so just wait until the 10 seconds is up.
  • Turn the printer off, unplug the power cord. Wait about 1 minute and power the printer back up. The counter will be reset. That’s all there is to the reset procedure.
Is the waste pad full ?
If the waste pad is actually full and ink is about to overflow, then you need to install a waste container. You can see the waste pad by opening the access panel on the back of the printer.
Changing the waste pad requires almost complete disassembly of the printer, it is a big job. There is an easier way.
Open the access panel on the rear of the printer (remove screw) and look inside carefullly with a flashlight. You will see a tube (down and to your left) coming from the cleaning pump and it will have an open end on it. This is the tube that delivers ink to the waste pad.
Use a piece of coathanger wire or equivalent, and fish out this piece of tube. Bring it to the outside of the printer, thru the access panel.
Find yourself a suitable container (Tupperware or a plastic cup or jar) that is not too tall. Put the tube into this container and secure the tube and container so they won’t come apart or lose connection if the printer is moved.
If you wish you can make a hole or notch in the access panel cover so it can be replaced.
Now the ink will go into this container and not into the waste pad inside the printer. If it gets full, dump it.
