Install/Update Mozilla Firefox 3.6.6

Mozilla launched a new update for Mozilla Firefox. This new release is a update for crash protection feature, which was first introduced in Mozilla Firefox 3.6.4. Mozilla blog says the crash protection feature,

"protects Windows and Linux users from crashes and freezes caused by third party plugins such as Flash and Silverlight. When a plugin crashes, users can reload the Web page to restart the plugin and continue browsing. When a plugin freezes, making the whole browser unresponsive, Firefox 3.6.4 terminates the unresponsive plugin after waiting 10 seconds. These changes were tested with a beta audience of close to one million users."

 I just installed on my machine, which runs Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. I found this nice article which describes how to do a update for it: How to update Firefox to 3.6.6 on Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx

NOTE: When updating if you don't want to have all updates (for other packages) you should uncheck them. This will reduce the size of the download. The easiest way to uncheck all at once is double clicking the update titles in "Update Manager". For example: "Recommended Updates", "Proposed Updates" etc. Then, just click on check-boxes Firefox packages.
 

Import your Delicious Bookmarks to Firefox OR get a XML backup

Have you ever had the need of having your Bookmarks in Delicious.com imported to Firefox so that you can browse through them easily from your address bar? Or do you ever needed an XML backup of all the Bookmarks you saved in Delicious? Safety first! You don't like to lose whole bunch of bookmarks collected for years get lost just because you forgot the password or the site is broken down, right?

The main reason I wanted this is to import the bookmarks into my browser, Mozilla Firefox. So that I can pretty easily search through them by the enhanced address/location bar.

To get a XML backup, use the following command,  

curl --user deliciousName:password -o DeliciousBookmarks.xml -O 'https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all'

(The downloading location is  https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all )
Give your Delicious user name and password at necessary places. ("curl" is the command that is used to download content from a given URL.)

Importing into Firefox is pretty much simple. You don't have to go through command line options. Here's how it is done.
1. Log in to Delicious and go to settings.

2. In it under Bookmarks section you can find Export/Backup Bookmarks. Click on it.
3. On the opened page, make sure you have checked "Include my tags" checkbox. Then Click on "Export".

4. Save the file in a suitable location. (If not prompted to save it, it'll be at your Downloads folder.)
5. Backing up is done. Now to import them to Firefox, go to Bookmarks -> Organize Bookmarks

6. Go to Import and Backup -> Import HTML on the opened dialogue box.
7. Then the Instructions are easy. Just follow the steps and give the file when asked to.

All done. Good Luck with that! :)
