Firefox 4, the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, was too slow for me. The browser looked good in design, so I upgraded it(regreted it), but in terms of browsing, it was slow, especially when opening new tabs, and got slower when I had several tabs opened.

Here how to make Firefox 4 faster:

1. Open a new tab in Firefox 4, type about:config. If you get a warning, just click the button.
2. Then type network.http.pipelining in the Filter bar.
3. Double click on network.http.pipelining, this will make the value to True.
4. Same with network.http.pipelining.maxrequests, double click on it, now enter a value of 8 or 10.

Here is a quick tutorial about customizing a single node in Drupal. There are many reasons you want to customize a node, could be a sponsors page, a product you are promoting, a splash page, just a few examples. You can see a working example of a node already customized here.

Our goal here is to remove the top part of the page, the left and side parts of the page. You can also remove bottom part of the page if you like. The node can be fully customized. At the end, you are left with just the page content.

I used the fusion theme in this example, you can achieve the same thing with any other theme.

1 - First create a page/story, or if you have one already, find its node ID(node/NODENUMBER)

Ever wanted to add a "Tweet This" to your nodes? Here is how I did it at somoscanada.com. This short tutorial is for people using Drupal.

Open the file node.tpl.php, located under your active theme(sites > all > themes).

At line 96 approximately, add this code(you need to type it!), just before "<?php if ($terms): ?>">. And I am using the Zen theme:

Replace http://somoscanada.com to your domain.

I am using URL Alias(Path module), that's why you see "echo $node->path", it prints the node alias. If you are not using the Path module, then replace that with "php print $node->nid", it prints node/ID.

Firefox is my favorite browser, i use it a lot for searching using the address bar, i would just type what i am looking for and i would get the results using Google Search.

Firefox uses Google as the default search engine. But recently, this changed, instead of Google search, i get Bing, the new(just the name) search engine from Microsoft.

If you are in the same scenario as me, let me show you how to change or remove Bing as the default search engine in the address bar.

Here's how. I am using quotes just for highlighting.

Open Firefox, in the address bar, type "about:config", if it does not work, add a space(push the Space Bar) after config "about:config ", then hit enter.

The Zen theme is indeed one of the best themes for customizing your Drupal, in my opinion. The theme has lots of information in the page.tpl.php file, the usage of each Drupal function and CSS is included in the page.tpl.php template.

One feature i really like is the ability to have a fixed width of a site, Zen Classic makes it easy, just by checking a button. If you are new to Drupal and cannot decide on a theme, go for the Zen theme and enable the sub-theme Zen classic.
