Blocking the nice way

Sometimes it happens you have a contact on Facebook you'd rather have that he/she does not know to much about what you are doing. One way to accomplish this is deleting this person or even blocking him or her. Down side of this method is the person will notice this eventually and it could be held against you.

An other way is to "take a break" of this person. He/She will no longer see what you post on Facebook but you will still be friends and you can still talk to each other using the chat function.

 To get this option you first go in the menu at the top of the persons profile. Here you chose for blocking the person.

Now you can chose to confirm or, and this is what we need, click on "Take a break"

Next up, you have to choose "See options" for Limit What <<Name>> Will See.

 Than you select "Hide your posts from <<Name>>" and save the new setting.








To undo this setting you have do the same steps but select the first option.

Firefox Multi-session support

Mozilla is working on multi-session capability. This function will allow you to open different sessions of Firefox, this means you can, for instance, log in with multiple user names on 1 site simultaneously. But this function is not implemented yet.

Gladly Mozilla has a wide range of plug-ins manage by the community! And of course there are plug-ins available that already can do the above for you.

With multifox you can easily manage multiple accounts on 1 site. Not only is it possible to switch instantly between your accounts. It is also possible to stay logged in on all of them in different tabs or windows of Firefox.

Once Multifox is installed an icon with multiple fox faces will be added. By clicking the icon you can chose a profile to use on the site you are visiting. Tho manage it all you can create new profiles and give them all a name, for instance 'Anna', 'John' and 'business'. Once logged in with the different profiles you can switch between them by clicking on the name. In the background firefox will switch the cookie and you are instantly logged in again.

To activate Multifox you can follow this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/multifox/

Make Flock work more like Firefox

One thing I dislike on Flock, is it doesn't handle the things you type in the address bar like Firefox does. for example, type the word flock in the address bar of the two programs, Firefox will bring you to the flock homepage, flock will give search-results in yahoo.
For the people who like the way Firefox handles this, here is the solution:

1. type about:config in the address bar
2. search for keyword.URL
3. double click this option and change the value to http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
4. restart Flock and try the example again, you will see it no handles it like Firefox would do!

Flock

Flock is a Firefox-based open source project that makes browsing the web more fun than ever before. It combines Firefox with a special sidebar that makes it very easy to organize your blogs, YouTube account, feed-subscriptions and so on. It also has a special search utility especially to find pictures, YouTube-movies etc.
you can download Flock on http://www.flock.com/
