ScribeFire

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/images/preview/1730/1Today I installed ScribeFire into Firefox. Basically ScribeFire is a firefox extension that lets me post blog post at any time right from firefox, without actually going to the site. :) So far this extension looks pretty sweet. When I open it up it comes up as a bottombar of the window. This is cool although, I would like the option of opening it as a sidebar instead. I feel like I’m wasting a lot of presious firefox real estate.

Also, they have a bookmarking feature, but its del.icio.us, not google bookmarks. Now there is a way to add add-ons to this extensions (add-ons of an extension, hehe), but when I browse for them I can’t find any. Oh well. Overall, it’s pretty good. I hope its good to me in the future. :)

Revealing Saved Passwords in Firefox (and IE)

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Okay, so like many Firefox users I use the remember password feature so that I don’t have to retype my login info every time I login to sites like Facebook. Well after using that feature for over a year for most sites, I’ve forgotten what my passwords were. So after a little bit of searching I found this little peace of Javascript that will reveal what your passwords are. To use this script, navigate to the site where a password is hidden then paste the following code into your address bar followed by hitting enter.

javascript:(function(){var s,F,j,f,i; s = ""; F = document.forms; for(j=0; j<F.length; ++j) { f = F[j]; for (i=0; i<f.length; ++i) { if (f[i].type.toLowerCase() == “password”) s += f[i].value + “\n”; } } if (s) alert(”Passwords in forms on this page:\n\n” + s); else alert(”There are no passwords in forms on this page.”);})();

This code is very powerful. You wouldn’t want someone to figure out this code who is on your system, so make sure your system is locked when your not around. Oh yea, this code works for other browsers, like IE too.
