Firefox Fixes

I'm still in the middle of testing Firefox 2.0 on Scarlett.

Apparently, Firefox 2.0 does not sit well with an Intel Mac. It hangs on me several times (about 5 to 6) a day, especially on "feature-laden" websites, the ones with Flash or Shockwave bits.

On a side note, I saw someone comment on some popular tech blog (I'll give you one guess...) stating that he had no problems with Firefox 2.0 but in the same breath, stated he liked its "Restore Session" function.

Duh! If he had no problems with Firefox 2.0, he would never have seen that feature...

The internet gave two solutions but there's actually three:

1. Run Firefox 2.0 on Rosetta. But the speed difference of this solution is pretty noticeable, so I ended up using a combination of the two solutions below.

2. Disable some extensions. Actually, the only offending extension was the Google Toolbar, and

3. Use another browser. (Like Camino, or even Firefox 1.5)...

If you have similar problems, the links are there...

Apparently, everything's stable now because I went through this entry without problems.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
