On the last 8 hours I’ve been around a firefox installation that starts to slow down when I did updated it to the latest version ’3.6′.
After a lot of try outs, creating new profiles and new installations it didn’t get any better, but starting it in safe-mode did change the speed of it.
Finally I figured out that firefox was adding the Bitdefender IS 2010 (wish is the anti-virus installed) Antiphishing toolbar to any of the profiles automatically and activated by default.
After deactivating it all started to flow normally, with all the main firefox plugins I use most.

It might so happen that during the web site maintenance, you might rename a page or move it to another location.
One of your kind visitors (can) informs you that he/she stumbled on this page and it shows a “404 page not existing error”.
Think about other users who have ‘bookmarked’ this page or worse still, search engines that have indexed this page.

A remedy for this problem would be to use an automatic redirection and you can employ the tag to accomplish this job.

Using the http-equiv and content attributes with appropriate values, we can set up this redirection.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url=somepage.html">

The tag has to be included in the HTML head. The content attribute takes two values. The first specifies the number of seconds for the page to refresh and the second is the page URL address. (Note: These two values are enclosed in only ONE pair of quotes and separated by a colon).

The code above redirects the user to somepage.html in 10 seconds.

It is also wise to include a link to the new page in the HTML body section for older browsers that do not recognize the tag, something like:

The page has been moved <a href="newlocation.html">here</a>

Recently I had some problems reseting a wordpress password, I didn’t get the confirmation email with the password, So the best way I could find to reset it manually was to go thru the PhpMyAdmin, so, here’s what you can do:

If you are not very familiar with the PhpMyAdmin, just make a backup so that you can work without any problem.

1. 1-Login to your PhpMyAdmin account, and select your WordPress database.
2. 2-Select & browse wp_users table, look for the username, you want to reset the password and click on the edit icon next to your username.
3. 3-Once the edit page is open, select MD5 from the Function dropdown next to the user_pass row. Change the value on the user_pass row to your new password and then hit Go.
4. 4-Now fireup your WordPress admin panel, and login with your new password and it will upgrade your password to the new phpass hashing.

If you follow this steps, everything should work fine now.
