If you come across any document or pdf file etc. containing text in a foreign language, here’s how you can translate it your desired language.

1. Go to Google Translate (http://translate.google.com/)

2. Click on the translate a document link on the page and browse to the pdf file, document etc. you want to upload and translate.

Recall Websites Visited Earlier, Browsing History in Firefox Easily

We make a lot of searches everyday through Google and other sites and visit many sites. We sometimes search for things that we searched earlier. Browser history saves us in these cases. Just type any keyword in the address bar and the browser happily shows you the sites you have visited earlier.

However, there are some situations browser histories will not help you. For example, you would have previously searched for the term "fried blueberry pancake" and if you accidentally remember it as "fried raspberry pancake", browser history won’t return any result. This is because, browser history searches the complete keywords and not the part of it.

This is where the Recall Monkey add-on for Firefox comes in. Recall Monkey Firefox add on makes Firefox history search more useful by searching in a new way. If you have watched search engines, they search not only complete keywords but also the part of the keywords. Recall monkey Firefox add on works exactly in the same way.

Select "Recall Monkey" from the "File" menu in the old menu bar or press Ctrl + Alt + M in your keyboard to activate this add on and start searching for Firefox History. Unfortunately this add on doesn’t support Firefox menu button. There are options to filter search results based on the "Time Range".

► Install Recall Monkey : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/prospector-recall-monkey/

This is a no-restart add-on, just install and you’re ready to go.

Black list ,block any specific websites from Google search results ( In Chrome )

Every time I look for any download links my searches get filled up with torrents and spam sites which is quite annoying. If someone is not good at Google search he/she is bound to end up downloading some kind of trojan or malware.

There is this new Chrome Extension called Search Engine Blacklist [Install] which will block and blacklist any sites, permanently from your Google search results.

Go to Tools > Extensions > Options (for Search Engine Blacklist)

I also hate these question answer based sites, forums because Google indexes the unsolved answers, threads which is useless in search results. Also the most often the answers are useless, ultimately making you have search more for the actual result for your search.

You add sites from the search results page to the blacklist directly by clicking on the blue cross icon that appears after each search result and note that extension is working answers.yahoo.com has been not shown.

Note: The plugin seems to work only in google.com and not in country domains link co.in etc and it takes 1-2 sec. as it manually removes blocked domains from the result page.

Firefox 3.5 is really awesome

Firefox 3.5 is already in the market. For those who don’t pay attention to development here’s the big features worth checking out. There’s lots more, but these are my favorites:

 

Private Browsing – Officially it’s called “Private Browsing” but all of us know what it is actually used for. Simply put once you turn on this feature nothing about your browsing is saved to your computer until you turn it off. No browser history, cookies, cache, no passwords, download list. Great for shared computers where you may not want the next person to know where you shopped, what you bought or what you just surfed.

Faster JavaScript – Everyone is doing it. Firefox 3.5 now ships with TraceMonkey which uses a technique, called trace trees to add just-in-time native code compilation to SpiderMonkey, the JS engine in Firefox. Bottom line: faster JavaScript makes JavaScript powered sites like Gmail way faster.

Faster Awesomebar – The awesomebar is a fast way of browsing the web, but the UI can sometimes get a little sluggish. Some awesome work has been done to optimize it for better performance. Faster UI = better browsing experience.

Better Awesomebar – The Awesomebar got a few enhancements including autocomplete for tagging, which is extremely handy as well as editing tags on multiple bookmarks at the same time.

Undo Closed Window – We’ve all done it before. Now you can undo a closed window just like a closed tab.

Drag Tab To New Window – Previously you could drag/drop to reorder tabs. Now you can drag a tab off the tab bar to move it into it’s own window. This may sound trivial but it actually makes organizing tabs much easier.

Video/Audio – Firefox 3.5 supports the new HTML5

Google Chrome Should Have These Extensions Too

There are a lot of extensions that are coming to Google Chrome in the near future. The current developer build supports them, and there’s a lot to be excited about in the implementation -, you don’t have to restart the browser to use an extension you’ve just installed like you do in Firefox, for example.

Firefox has the best lineup in the browser biz, so let’s play a wishing game; here are some Firefox extensions we’d love to see pop up in Chrome’s gallery, too. Some of our favorites are already in the works, but we haven’t yet heard a peep about any of the ones on this list.

1.Tree Style Tabs

This extension sorts tabs vertically along the left side of the website you’re viewing instead of at the top of the browser. This makes more efficient use of screen real estate on widescreen displays — which means most displays nowadays.

Even more notably, Tree Style Tabs displays your tabs in a tree , with each tab appearing one level beneath the tab from which you opened it. If you have 50 tabs going, that visual certainly makes them easier to manage.


2. IE Tab
There are some web applications that still only work properly and with all features intact in Internet Explorer. Firefox’s IE Tab extension opens a native IE tab within the Firefox interface. It looks like any other Firefox tab for the most part, but under the hood it’s all IE. The extension is also great for developers who want to test sites cross browser without actually having to open two separate browsers.


3. TwitterBar

It’s neat that Chrome will do Google searches from its address bar, but with Firefox’s TwitterBar you can type and send tweets there too. Jumping over to TweetDeck or your Twitter.com tab would use up two or three more clicks or key presses.


4. ScribeFire

You can use ScribeFire to write blog posts and publish them to WordPress and a number of other platforms without browsing away from the site you’re blogging about. It pops up at the bottom of your Firefox window, and you can drag items from the site in front of you to the body of your post.

Chrome’s speed and stability make it attractive to bloggers, so ScribeFire or something like it would be right at home.

5. StumbleUpon

Delicious was among the first extensions to make its way to Chrome, and we like it, but we’re still hoping for an easy StumbleUpon solution to add to our social bookmarking options. Admittedly, there is a functional web-based workaround out there for Chrome, but it demands some URL tweaking, so it doesn’t match the Firefox extension’s ease of use by a longshot.


6. Faviconize Tab

This extension adds an option to reduce tabs to the size of a favicon (the tiny website icons seen in the address bar), removing the accompanying title text. It’s useful in the eternal battle to keep as many tabs visible as possible. Chrome’s tabs are already more conservative with pixels than Firefox’s tabs are, but every little bit helps.

7. AutoCopy

AutoCopy sends text to the clipboard as soon as you select it, no keyboard shortcut necessary. You’ll never need to hit Control or Command + C to copy text, and if you have an application like CopyPaste Pro you can recover any clipboard items you might accidentally replace.


8. LeechBlock

LeechBlock helps you manage your time with up to six groups of websites by blocking them when you know you shouldn’t be visiting them. You can limit your time with each group to specific hours of the day — like you can tell the plugin to only let you access certain sites for so many minutes out of each hour.

9. Taboo

Taboo adds a button to save tabs for later (scrollbar location, form data, and all) instead of leaving them open to eat up memory and clutter the top of your browser. It also takes a snapshot of each saved tab so you can browse thumbnails when you’re ready to revisit the stuff you didn’t have the time to finish before. The usefulness of this extension is platform-agnostic, so the extension should be too.


10. Stylish

Google has run ads promoting Chrome’s many aesthetic themes, but with Stylish you can re-theme not just your browser but each website you visit.

We’ve already pointed out some of the best examples of what this extension can do for Firefox users, and we’d love to see it on Chrome in the near future.

What other Firefox extensions would you love to see on Chrome? Let us know in the comments.

If you’ve already thought of at least one plugin without which you just can’t make the switch from Firefox to Chrome, feel free to add to our list in the comments.

Make Your Firefox lightning Fast

Here are some tricks that will help you out in making your firefox really fast and provide you with a much better experience...



1. Enable pipelining

Browsers are normally very polite, sending a request to a server then waiting for a response before continuing. Pipelining is a more aggressive technique that lets them send multiple requests before any responses are received, often reducing page download times. To enable it, type about:config in the address bar, double-click network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining so their values are set to true, then double-click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set this to 8.

Keep in mind that some servers don’t support pipelining, though, and if you regularly visit a lot of these then the tweak can actually reduce performance. Set network.http.pipelining and network.http.proxy.pipelining to false again if you have any problems.

2. Render quickly

Large, complex web pages can take a while to download. Firefox doesn’t want to keep you waiting, so by default will display what it’s received so far every 0.12 seconds (the “content notify interval”). While this helps the browser feel snappy, frequent redraws increase the total page load time, so a longer content notify interval will improve performance.

Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) somewhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.notify.interval as your preference name, click OK, enter 500000 (that’s five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand) and click OK again.

Right-click again in the window and select New > Boolean. This time create a value called content.notify.ontimer and set it to True to finish the job.

3. Faster loading

If you haven’t moved your mouse or touched the keyboard for 0.75 seconds (the content switch threshold) then Firefox enters a low frequency interrupt mode, which means its interface becomes less responsive but your page loads more quickly. Reducing the content switch threshold can improve performance, then, and it only takes a moment.

Type about:config and press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Integer. Type content.switch.threshold, click OK, enter 250000 (a quarter of a second) and click OK to finish.

4. No interruptions

You can take the last step even further by telling Firefox to ignore user interface events altogether until the current page has been downloaded. This is a little drastic as Firefox could remain unresponsive for quite some time, but try this and see how it works for you.

Type about:config, press [Enter], right-click in the window and select New > Boolean. Type content.interrupt.parsing, click OK, set the value to False and click OK.

5. Block Flash

Intrusive Flash animations are everywhere, popping up over the content you actually want to read and slowing down your browsing. Fortunately there’s a very easy solution. Install the Flashblock extension (flashblock.mozdev.org) and it’ll block all Flash applets from loading, so web pages will display much more quickly. And if you discover some Flash content that isn’t entirely useless, just click its placeholder to download and view the applet as normal.

6. Increase the cache size

As you browse the web so Firefox stores site images and scripts in a local memory cache, where they can be speedily retrieved if you revisit the same page. If you have plenty of RAM (2 GB of more), leave Firefox running all the time and regularly return to pages then you can improve performance by increasing this cache size. Type about:config and press [Enter], then right-click anywhere in the window and select New > Integer. Type browser.cache.memory.capacity, click OK, enter 65536 and click OK, then restart your browser to get the new, larger cache.

7. Enable TraceMonkey

TraceMonkey is a new Firefox feature that converts slow Javascript into super-speedy x86 code, and so lets it run some functions anything up to 20 times faster than the current version. It’s still buggy so isn’t available in the regular Firefox download yet, but if you’re willing to risk the odd crash or two then there’s an easy way to try it out.

Install the latest nightly build (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/), launch it, type about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Type JIT in the filter box, then double-click javascript.options.jit.chrome and javascript.options.jit.content to change their values to true, and that’s it – you’re running the fastest Firefox Javascript engine ever.

8. Compress data

If you’ve a slow internet connection then it may feel like you’ll never get Firefox to perform properly, but that’s not necessarily true. Install toonel.net (toonel.net) and this clever Java applet will re-route your web traffic through its own server, compressing it at the same time, so there’s much less to download. And it can even compress JPEGs by allowing you to reduce their quality. This all helps to cut your data transfer, useful if you’re on a limited 1 GB-per-month account, and can at best double your browsing performance.
