After installation of Firefox theme addon which resembles Mac OS skin the Mozilla browser crashed whenever I restarted it.Firefox used to crash due to that incompatible addon,so I made a fresh installation of firefox 3.0.3 as I was pondering over the compatibility issue of the theme addon with Firefox.But it didn’t work for me and as usual firefox was crashed whenever I tried to reopen it.

However I found a simple solution to uninstall those buggy addons and themes by opening your firefox in safe mode and uninstalling the buggy addons-extension.To open your firefox browser in safe mode,just go to run from windows start menu and input this firefox -safe-mode to get the firefox safe mode running.

firefox crash Mozilla Firefox 3 crashes   Uninstall buggy addons and themes

You will get a small window box asking about disabling addons and other features in the safe mode.Continue with the existing options.After Firefox is running,you will not be able to use installed addons in the safe mode.But as we are using the safe mode to uninstall those addons/extensions,head over to tools –> Add-ons and then find out the buggy extension or themes.Click on that theme/addon and uninstall it!

Now you have uninstalled the addon which was causing firefox crashes! Open Firefox in normal mode and it should work fine :D

I have been using Orkut toolbar for a while and thought to let you know about the useful feature to all the orkut users.Orkut toolbar is a free firefox addon which allows you to scrap stylish colorful font text.Apart from scraping different font stlyes,orkut toolbar lets you scrap smilies and acts as a simple scrap editor.To install orkut toolbar addon (download),you must use mozilla firefox browser.After installing the addon,restart firefox to find the toolbar residing in the top menu.

Use and Send Orkut Smilies

By default Orkut has some of the smilies uploaded on there server but if you want to use smilies conveniently without the use of orkut smiley codes or html knowledge then orkut toolbar will be a good choice as it allows you to send and update the scraps with new smiley much more efficiently.You can also make use of Powerscrap for powerful orkut scraping! ;)

Stylish font style text

Click on Font color button while you are scraping the text message to change the color of the font quite easily.You can also bold,italicize or underline the scraps.Alternately you can use online blog editor for styling out the font face and size and then placing the html code on scrap box.

Send Hyperlinks and Images/Flash movies

Many people find it hard to embed any image or movie along with hyperlinks content from the scrapbook.Specify the image or flash video movie url and orkut toolbar does the rest!

Insert signature along with Scraps

If there are custom email signatures for Gmail then Orkut toolbar also has there custom scrap signature feature which lets you scrap messages along with your custom signature so that your friends can find out a special message at the bottom of the scrap.

Apart from all this useful feature the toolbar does a community,user and orkut search for any information from the tool bar which resides on the top of your Firefox browser.If you are a orkutting a lot and haven’t downloaded this free orkut toolbar then what are you waiting for :P

After writing about how to backup orkut profile I found Gautam sharing a nice program on Orkutplus which creates a backup of Orkut community.Some intruders or evil moderators often tend to delete the whole topics,posts and other polls in your owned community,as orkut doesn’t restore any deleted information on there server (no backup!) you will loose the active community members and those topics with a simple mistake.

By default Orkut doesn’t have a option to backup the community,so community backup freeware can be a alternative solution.Though the program is in experimental stage but you can still make a backup of topics posted on your owned communities.The ability to backup all the Topic pages from the community will be available soon!

Backing up via Orkut Community Backupmate
