disable venkman output to console

Venkman produces a lot of output to console which makes it hard to see the output from your extensions. To disable output from venkman, you can update venkman_utils.js in venkman.jar by replacing dd function with an empty function dd = function (){};

Call dumpln function from your code (copy of code from venkman)

}
else
{
    if (typeof dump == "function") {
        dumpln = function (str) {dump (str + "\n");}
    } else if (jsenv.HAS_RHINO) {
        dumpln = function (str) {
                     var out = java.lang.System.out;
                     out.println(str); out.flush();
                 }
    }

    }

Firefox vs Chrome #2

Made another attempt to use Chrome 2.x and 3.x. Layout issues seems to be fixed. However there are still problems like
- Navigation back from 404 does not always work (never hit such problems in FF)
- Adding RSS to google reader is not supported

Back to FF.

Windows7. Disable hiding windows during Alt-Tab

Win7 alt-tab hides windows after few seconds timeout. To disable this behavior uncheck “Enable Aero Peek” in the performance dialog.

FireFox vs Chrome

After trying Chrome for a week I got back to FireFox. Main problems with Chrome are
- Increased battery usage. Battery time decreases ~30% when Chrome is running. Does not happen for FF on the same sites
- Chrome renders some sites (like google reader) differently than IE / FF
- Address bar shows prompt for visited sites instead of typed sides like FF.
- In the default configuration does not allow to subscribe to RSS feeds. Shows XML dump in a window
