Edit: Make sure you correct the apostrophe and the quote of the javascript first. It seems like I having problem with the character encoding. Does anyone know how to fix it?
The combination of username-password is the popular method to authenticate someone that he or she is the authorized person to use a service or has a privilege. Username can be viewed clearly but the password is hidden behind the asterisks. Although the password is hidden but we still can view it using software that is available from the Internet.
Snadboys’ Revelation is a freeware tool that you can use to reveal password behind the asterisks. I have tested it on my FTP client and it really works. I can see my hidden password like in the screenshot below.
After you have installed SnadBoys’ Revelation, run the software and drag the crosshair cursor to the asterisks. Then, the password will be revealed in Text of Window Under ‘Cricle’ + ‘Cursor’ .

Of course I am but not right now because the stable version is not release yet. The current version is Beta 1 which was released last month . I do hope that Firefox 3 will release on 1st January 2008 so we can celebrate New Year with Firefox 3. Who wants to join me? You can submit your application below. Hahaha. I am just kidding. 
Firefox 3 is still new (that is why they called it beta) and I am sure that there are many flaws, bugs, etc on it. Although there are many Firefox supporters and beta testers who are testing the beta version and keeps upgrading it to the perfect version but it is for sure still many bugs that need to be fixed.
The most crucial part is security. All of us don’t want our valuable data can be compromised by crackers and can be clearly viewed by others when we surf websites. I don’t mention hackers here because for me hackers are the good one. Crackers are the bad one. Both of them are in the same field but in wearing different hat. Ever heard about White Hat Hackers and Black Hat Hackers? Both are belong to them.

They said Firefox 3 can prevents you from malware but there is no proof. That is why Mozilla gives you a test page to proof their words.
Caution! The page you will see is containing malware. Your browser will open it if it does not has malware protection enabled. Only Firefox 3 will prevent you from opening that page.
If you are you ready to take the test, please click the image below to go to the malware page. But remember, there is no turning back. 
Note: I don’t have Firefox 3 and have visited the page with my Firefox 2. So if you are using Firefox 3 and have done the test, can you please give your thoughts here. Thank you.

Each time when you click on a link to download a file, Firefox download window will pop up. This is really annoying because it blocks our view to the website and we need to minimize it every time it appears. But there is a Firefox extension that will replace it from a disturbing download window into a small nice download statusbar.
Download Statusbar is a Firefox extension that will replace your current Firefox download window into download statusbar. This extension will appear above the status bar in your Firefox and will not disturb you while you browse a website. It will sit there until you asked it to do something for you.
Download Statusbar - Firefox Extension
During the download, it will show you the progress bar, the download speed, the file size and estimated time. When you mouse over the download bar, you will get extra information about the file you are downloading.

Nowadays, many peoples use Google Toolbar in their Firefox browser. I don’t know what makes Google Toolbar so popular. Maybe because of the pagerank checker that enables you to check a website pagerank or other functionalities that can helps you in browsing web pages. But if the pagerank checker is the reason you install the Google Toolbar, I want to recommend you a Firefox extension that do the same job as the Google Toolbar pagerank checker.
Live PageRank (LivePR) is a Firefox extension that will display a small pagerank bar at the lower left conner of your Firefox browser. It will check the website pagerank from Gooogle datacenters and display the result instantly. I more prefer using this extension than using Google Toolbar because Google Toolbar will fetch our browsing history and data and keep them for their own purposes that we don’t know. I know about it after I read an article a long time ago and can’t remember the link to the article. But I really don’t like how tricky the Google Toolbar works and that’s why I don’t like it very much.

Why you still using Firefox 1.5 even new version Firefox 2.0.0.4 (more about Firefox) is available?
I agree with the step taken by Mozilla. They said that the recent update to Firefox 1.5 is the last updates. No more updates for Firefox 1.5 after this. Instead, they also include a prompt to download Firefox 1.5.0.12 which allow user to upgrade to Firefox 2.0.
For me, if there is new update available, I will go for it. Usually, latest update has new security fixes and new features. But I agree, sometimes, there are still exist minor and major problems. But at least, it give me more protections. Am I right?

Sometimes we accidentally close a tab in Firefox we didn’t mean to close. Instead of looking the website we want in the History, you can do this trick to reopen the last closed tab.
If you accidentally close a tab, you just need to press “Ctrl + Shift + T“. And the last closed tab will be reopened in your Firefox.
Try it. Open a new tab, close the tab and press “Ctrl + Shift + T”. Very helpful huh?
Edit: You also can open last closed tab from History > Recently Closed Tabs. Thanks to Izzat for this tip.
