HostMonster.com

It is fairly obvious there are a great many web hosts to choose from out there. Some better than others. Some with more or less options than the other, but most don't offer unlimited domains for $6.95 a month! Some might, but they typically sacrifice another feature that may be important to you. Before this month ends, I want to recommend HostMonster.com for your hosting needs. Give them a run and you'll see the difference!

Firebug can make Gmail slow

Here is a tip from the Gmail help site about editing your Firebug settings to work better with their Gmail application and other Ajax intensive sites:


Firebug can make Gmail slow

For the best Gmail performance, we suggest disabling Firebug for www.google.com.

Windows or Linux Users

To disable Firebug:

1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
2. Click the bug icon in the top left corner of Firebug and select 'Disable Firebug for mail.google.com.'

If you'd like to keep Firebug running, you may improve Gmail performance by following these steps:

1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
2. Click the Console tab.
3. Select Options.
4. Uncheck Show XMLHttpRequests.
5. Click the Net tab.
6. Select Options.
7. Check Disable Network Monitoring.

Mac Users

To disable Firebug:

1. Click the green or red icon in the bottom right corner of the browser window to open Firebug.
2. Click the bug icon in the top left corner of Firebug and select 'Disable Firebug for mail.google.com.'

If disabling Firebug for Gmail doesn't improve performance results, you may have to entirely disable Firebug.
