After checking my computer system files and registry and I came to know that Internet Explorer consumes less resources than Mozilla Firefox.Though Firefox is preferred over Internet Explorer but users who have limited internet connection should use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox 2.0.0.18.
Internet Explorer uses less data transfer than Firefox 2.0.0.18.So it is adviced to use IE if you have limited Internet plan.If you want to use Mozilla Firefox you can download it from right sidebar.
Trick to boost up Internet Explorer :
>>Go to "Start" and click on "Run"
>>Enter "regedit" and hit "Ok" and now the Registry Editor will open.
>>Expand "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
>>Expand Software, Microsoft, Windows, Current Version
>>Click on Internet Settings
>>MaxConnectionPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionPerServer indicates the maximum number of connections per page
>>Double click on one of these registries to change it. Set the radio button to DECIMAL and increase the values from default to a higher value, for example 10. Do the same with the other registry.
let’s pretend you need a serial number for windows xp pro.
in the search bar type in just like this - “Windows XP Professional” 94FBR
the key is the 94FBR code...
it was included with many MS Office registration codes so this will help you dramatically reduce the amount of ‘fake’ porn sites that trick you.
or if you want to find the serial for winzip 8.1 - “Winzip 8.1″ 94FBR
just try it out, it’s very quick and it works nicely..
Just type crack: app name on Google home page
example: crack: flashget 1.6a...
and you will get the link for the give application name as..
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=crack%3A+flashget+1.6a
Here’s what you do:
In the URL bar, type....
“about:config” and press enter. This will bring up the configuration “menu” where you can change the parameters of Firefox.
Note that these are what I’ve found to REALLY speed up my Firefox significantly - and these settings seem to be common among everybody else as well. But these settings are optimized for broadband connections - I mean with as much concurrent requests we’re going to open up with pipelining… lol… you’d better have a big connection.
Double Click on the following settins and put in the numbers below - for the true / false booleans - they’ll change when you double click.
Code:
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs – true
network.http.max-connections – 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server – 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy – 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server – 4
network.http.pipelining – true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests – 100
network.http.proxy.pipelining – true
network.http.request.timeout – 300
One more thing… Right-click somewhere on that screen and add a NEW -> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0”. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. Since you’re broadband - it shouldn’t have to wait.
Now you should notice you’re loading pages MUCH faster now!
You can add an Internet URL address bar to your Windows XP taskbar. Doing so will let you type in URLs and launch Web pages without first launching a browser. It will also let you launch some native Windows XP applications in much the same way as you would via the Run menu (so you could type in calc to launch the calculator or mspaint to launch Microsoft Paint.) Here's how you add the address bar:
1. Right-click on the taskbar, select Toolbars, and then click Address.
2. The word Address will appear on your taskbar.
3. Double click it to access it.
4. If that doesn't work, your taskbar is locked. You can unlock it by right-clicking on the taskbar again and uncheck Lock the Taskbar.
NOTE: You may also need to grab the vertical dotted lines beside the word Address and drag it to the left to make the Address window appear.
Firefox supports tabs that are used to open multiple pages within a single browser window. You can also have the option here to open multiple home pages on individual tabs at once just
the way Internet Explorer 7 does it.
When Firefox starts up, only one tab is opened and each time you want to surf another site, you need to press [Ctrl]+ [T] to manually open a new tab and then type in the address. Here’s how you can customize Firefox to automatically open new tabs with your favorite websites on start up.
Open multiple home pages the moment you
open Mozilla Firefox or when you click ‘Home’
Select ‘Tools | Options’.
Select the ‘Main’ tab.
In the ‘Startup’ group, select ‘Show my home page’ from the ‘When Firefox
starts’ drop-down list.
In the ‘Home Page’ section, type in the name of of the sites you wish to open by separating each one by a ‘|’ (vertical line or Pipe).
Click ‘OK’.
The next time you open Firefox all these sites will load automatically.
It is a good habit to classify and store your bookmarks in folders so that it is easier to find them. But how do you do it? The bookmarks will appear in a categorized manner in the Bookmarks
menu. Creating a bookmark folder is quite simple.
Select ‘Bookmarks’ | ‘Organize Bookmarks’.
In the ‘Bookmarks Manager’ toolbox, select ‘New Folder’. Enter the name of the folder and the optional description.
Click ‘OK’.
To save your bookmarked page in the created folder:
Click on ‘Bookmarks | Bookmark This Page’.
In the ‘Add Bookmark’ dialog box, click on the ‘Create In’ drop-down list and select the name of the newly created folder.
Click ‘OK’.
This process makes it easy for you to organize your bookmarked pages based
on your preferences.

Picnik seems to be the most popular online image editor in this list. The interface of the site is beautiful, responsive and can put many desktop applications to shame. You don’t need to know anything about photo editing to use Picnik. Most noteworthy feature is its integration with other Web2.0 services. You can pull photos directly from most photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Picasa Web Albums, Facebook, Photobucket and pretty much provide any image URL to start editing it.

6. Picture2Life
Picture2life is just another online image editor. But what makes it stand apart is the radical UI design for an image editor. Unlike all classical picture editors with toolboxes and a number of buttons, Picture2life has a descriptive side panel stacked into four vertical tabs – Quick Fixes, One Clicks, All and Featured. Selecting any tab replaces the sidebar with a new sidebar that contains a number of options like Brightness, Color, Contrast etc. But, instead of showing them as buttons, it takes your picture and shows you how the picture will look if the effect is applied and uses this as thumbnails for the buttons. Pretty useful for beginners who don’t know the difference between stuff like hue and saturation (and that includes us).
