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.

This trick is simple but it is really geeky. Did you know that you can hiding your files in JPG image? Here I will show you how. But before we can proceed, prepare our tools first.

Tools

• WinRAR
• Command Prompt
• Hidden files (Eg: password.txt)
• A JPG image file (Eg: nerd.jpg)

Ok, now we move on how to do this trick. Btw here is my nerd.jpg.

1. Put your hidden file and your image file in the same folder. Here I have password.txt and nerd.jpg. Both I put in a folder I named it Secret in drive D.

2. Put all these files into a RAR archive. I named this archive as Hidden.rar

I coded all my themes and CSS manually by using EditPlus 2, by hand. But when coded in text editor, your code might unstructureable and will slow down your site. That is why you need something that can optimize and tidy up your files.

Here has come a website called Clean CSS. Clean CSS is a nice utility that will tidy up your CSS file and will optimize it to make your site load faster. For an example, instead of

padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
padding-left: 5px;

Clean CSS will tidy it into like this

padding: 10px 5px 10px 5px;

Beside that, Clean CSS will remove all unnecessary things and will pack your CSS file into smaller package.

If you listen to musics while chatting with your friends, I guess you need this thing to show them how cool you are.

Larkington’s Yahoo Messenger Winamp Plugin is a additional feature that will set your Yahoo! Messenger status message to the title of the song currently playing on your Winamp. There are also some other Winamp plugins which are working with the same concept but this plugin is better than the others. And I’m currently using it on my PC and this plugin works perfectly.

But if you have created custom Yahoo! Messenger status message, you need to delete all the messages because, this plugin will rotate the messages instead of displaying the song currently playing on your Winamp. To delete the custom messages, you need Yahoo! Messenger Status Edit.

Don’t wait any longer, download the plugin and be cool instantly! [tags]winamp, plugin, yahoo messenger[/tags]

There are tricks that we can use to download videos from Google or YouTube. For an example, by using YouTubeX to download from Youtube. But the file downloaded is in FLV format which means, we need a FLV player to play it. However, we can convert the FLV files into MP3 or MPEG format. So we can play it in Winamp or other media players that support those formats.

Convert FLV to MP3 (online)

If you don’t want to download software to convert your FLV file to MP3 format, you can use FLV NellyMoser to MP3 Online Converter to convert it. Choose which FLV file that you want to convert, enter your email and image verification and wait for awhile. Open your email inbox and you will get the download link to the converted MP3 file.
