Fresher’s party… Now???

Might seem strange… attending a fresher’s party while I m about to graduate… Well good to know what fun my colleagues had last year.. while I was counting sheep in @ SBU hospital … And irony of all sorts... I m standing right under the hospital building… !

Recognise Minefield (Firefox 4 beta) as Firefox

Just installed the Firefox Beta 4 on my Ubuntu environ; Turned out, I am unable to install addons as the browser is not recognised as Firefox!

So if you are running on the cool Firefox beta 4 an having trouble installing add-ons or browsing sites customised for Firefox...Here's what you should do:

1) Open Firefox
2) Type "about:config" on the location bar
3) Find the general.useragent.compatMode.firefox key
4) Toggle its value to "True"
5) Restart
6) Viola! Your fav Firefox is back

Effectively, this modifies your user-agent string, which most sites depend on to recognise the client browser.

Before:
Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100916 Firefox-4.0/4.0b7pre Ubuntu/10.04

After:
Your User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20100916 Firefox/4.0b7pre Firefox-4.0/4.0b7pre Ubuntu/10.04

Looking beyond...

Last day at Chyron... what lies ahead I wonder???
