Well, if you no idea on favicons then Favicons are tiny icons that represent a website. You can usually see them in the address bar next to the webpage address. For instance, if you open bizzntech.com, you’ll see a mouse icon next to its name in the address bar. Most of us find these icons pretty and easy to identify a website. However, there are some that believe the bookmarks list doesn’t look professional or looks messy once due to too many favicons. Well, whatever maybe the reason, if you’re a favicon hater, then you can hide them in your favourite browser. Here’s how you do it:

hide favicons in opera

In Opera
Click on the Red button on the left hand top corner then go to Settings> Preferences.
Click on the advanced tab and on the left hand side select browsing.
On the right hand side, change the Page icons setting to ‘Show no icons’ and click ok.

In Firefox
Firefox displays favicons in the address bar, bookmarks list and in the tab. You may make use of the respective codes to hide favicons.

For hiding favicons in the address bar:
#identity-box {display:none!important;}

For hiding favicon in tabs:
.tabbrowser-tab .tab-icon-image {display:none!important;}

For hiding favicons in bookmarks:
#personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon {display:none!important;}

Navigate to the following directory:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Change ‘USERNAME’ with your windows username.

Now, in the Profile folder, you’ll find a user profile folder, open it.

hide favicons in firefox

You should now see a chrome folder. Open the file ‘userChrome.css’ with notepad. Add your desired codes from the above codes to this file and save it.

In Chrome
I could not figure out a proper way to hide favicons in Chrome on Windows. But, I stumbled upon an extension- No Favicons that hides favicons in Chrome on Mac OSX.

How to Get it Back? http://www.bizzntech.com/2011/03/22/facebook-submit-button-gone-how-to-get-it-back http://www.bizzntech.com/2011/03/22/facebook-submit-button-gone-how-to-get-it-back#comments Tue, 22 Mar 2011 02:59:44 +0000 Joel http://www.bizzntech.com/?p=2410 Recently, when I was using Facebook I noticed that the submit button had disappeared. Confused? I’m talking about the Facebook submit comment button while posting a comment. Well, Facebook actually removed the ‘submit’ button but introduced a new option that allows users to edit their comment which wasn’t possible earlier. This sounds great but there’s one thing that’s really annoying! If you want to type a big message in the comment box and if you hit the enter button to start a new paragraph, BAM! The comment is posted!

You can actually type in a new paragraph by holding the shift button and then pressing enter. I just found this buried in the Facebook Help Pages! Well, if you are really missing the Submit button then here’s how you can it back:

Facebook Submit Button Gone! How to Get it Back?

I came across a javascript that fixes the Submit button right back in place where it should be! This javascript works on Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE and Safari.

To install it on Opera, go to Menu> Settings> Preferences> Advanced> Content> Javascript Options. Browse and locate the javascript folder where you have saved the above script.

To install it on Firefox, download and install the Greasemonkey Firefox addon from here and restart the browser. Enable the addon and then download the script and install it.

Recently, Facebook introduced a new photo album viewer which opens the album with a black background. I don’t really find this feature user friendly. If you’re someone like me then you will consider disabling this feature.

How to Disable the New Facebook Album Viewer

Here are some ways how you can get rid of the new album viewer on Facebook:

The easy way:

Simply hit the refresh button once the album viewer opens. Voila! You will return to the normal album viewer which you saw earlier.

To disable it permanently:
If you’re using Google Chrome, then you can download and use the following extensions which will permanently disable the new album viewer:

Using this extension you can not only block facebook ads but also move the news filter to the right hand side. 

In the above pic, you can see that the News Filter column has been moved to the right hand side. Whereas, usually the Facebook interface has three columns. The two column interface looks neat and less cluttered too.

To install the Facebook Cleanup extension in Chrome you need to first download and install the Beta Channel of Google Chrome.

Therefore, in order to recover lost passwords you need to use third party softwares. I’ll list a few that are easy to use and are light on resources too.

ChromePass:

ChromePass is a tiny password recovery tool that helps you to view the user names and passwords stored by Google Chrome Web browser for different websites. For each password entry, the following information is displayed: Origin URL, Action URL, User Name Field, Password Field, User Name, Password, and Created Time. It doesn’t require any installation; all you need to do is just double click and run it.

Download ChromePass

Chrome Password Decryptor:

Chrome Password Decryptor is a powerful utility to recover Chrome passwords. It decrypts the passwords and shows them in clear text. The best part is that it can even display the usernames and passwords of those sites which you have chosen Google Chrome not to remember. Just like ChromePass, Chrome Password Decryptor also doesn’t require any installation. All you need to do is just download and launch it. To save or backup all the login details you can use the ‘Export’ option.
