Switchy: Easily Create And Switch Between Profiles On Firefox

Firefox saves your information about bookmarks, passwords, and user preferences in your user profile; nothing but a set of files which saves all this information. While this makes perfect sense for a single-user scenario, having two different people share a computer will become a nightmare because of continuous conflicts with each other’s preferences. Firefox allows you to create multiple profiles but switching between them isn’t very easy. While Firefox allows you to create profiles, creating or switching between them is no way near as easy as it is in Chrome. Switchy is a Firefox add-on that fixes this; it allows you to create new profiles, assign different URLs to open at default and keep add-ons, preferences and bookmarks separate from the default profile.

If you ever get around to cleaning up your friends’ list on Facebook, you would likely remove people you don’t know, people you don’t remember adding, or people who aren’t people. With Facebook and its ‘open’ security options, you don’t really want strangers to be your friends. With Google+, which has far better security settings, cleaning up a friends’ list, or rather a circle is more about getting rid of people who have been inactive too long. Finding inactive people in a lengthy list on your Google+ account can be quite tiresome. Uncircle+ is a Google Chrome extension that lets you easily delete inactive people from your Google+ circles, so that you can add more people to your circles without reaching the 5000 limit. It may be noted that although a limit of 5,000 is sufficient for most people, Uncircle+ would nevertheless be helpful in de-cluttering your otherwise going-out-of-hand contact circle. Read More

Redirect To Web Server Using Fixed URL Without Requiring Static IP Address

Leave a comment
It can cost an awful amount of money to rent a static IP from your local ISP to ensure that it does not rotate periodically. The alternative to static IP means that one would have to deploy a mechanism through which the changes in IP address assigned to your web server (via the ISP’s DHCP server) can be adjusted. This is one amongst the reasons why URL redirection applications are used. URLRedirector is a URL redirector, designed to help you cope with the changing IP of your computer (as assigned by your ISP). This application is developed for those who are hosting their own websites and would like to ensure that their web server has a static IP address. It provides the option for managing the IP addresses assigned by your ISP and allows fixing the URL of your website, even when the IP address of your web server may be constantly changing. Read More
