A great Firefox article

Here's yet another great article on my hero, Firefox, from Information Week. Read it and weep.. er, convert, IE users :)

Another Use for Gmail: Virtual Hard Drive

From viksoe.dk, we can now use Gmail as a virtual drive (storage space). A very neat concept!

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.

Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1000 megabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again.

When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account. The e-mail appears in your normal Inbox folder, and the file is attached as an e-mail attachment. GMail Drive periodically checks your mail account (using the GMail search function) to see if new files have arrived and to rebuild the directory structures. But basically GMail Drive acts as any other hard-drive installed on your computer.

You can copy files to and from the GMail Drive folder simply by using drag'n'drop like you're used to with the normal Explorer folders.

Because the GMail files will clutter up your Inbox folder, you may wish to create a filter in GMail to automatically move the files (prefixed with the GMAILFS letters) to your archived mail folder.

Please note that GMail Drive is still an experimental tool. There's still a number of limitations of the file-system (such as total filename size must be less than 40 characters), and it doesn't make full use of the secure internet protocols available.

Firefox Problems

If you ever come across a problem using or updating Firefox, the following will usually solve the problem (and also let you keep all of those passwords you saved as well as your bookmarks!). Follow the simple steps below:

1. Browse to your profile folder (usually something like c:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.xxx). Back up bookmarks.html (and key3.db and signons.txt if you want to keep your saved passwords) to a separate directory (your desktop?).
2. Uninstall the old version of Firefox. Make sure you also go in and delete the profile folder under the same location as above. Also, if the program folder (Mozilla Firefox) still exists (under c:\ program files\), go ahead and delete it as well.
3. Install the latest version of Firefox, but don't import any profile data (if it asks). Run it once and close it down. This will create your new profile folder.
4. Go back to your profile folder, (c:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.xxx) and paste the files you backed up (ONLY the bookmarks.html, key3.db and signons.txt files!).
5. Now, launch Firefox again. All problems should be solved, and all you will need to reinstall will be your extensions. I recommend installing the extensions one at a time, and testing Firefox after each install to make sure an extension wasn't the culprit in the first place.
