What The F*s ? - Facebook marries Firefox 17 !


I was a Firefox lover, I grew up on the Web using our dear Old Firefox until I got swayed by the Google Chrome chronicles like everyone. A lighter interface with unmatched fast browsing kept me glued to Chrome and I could never find enough reasons to revert back to my dear Firefox. Thanks to the consistent bugs in my Chrome, I looked for an able alternative and actually rekindled my affair with Firefox, rather with the All new 

Firefox 17 ! Download Firefox 17 (Download for Windows|Download for Mac)




Perhaps you think I uploaded the wrong screenshot above, actually I just showed you the biggest reason to switch to Firefox. I've no idea if Facebook and Firefox are plotting against Google Chrome, but now you actually have a Facebook Messenger for Firefox, exclusively!

This integrates the Facebook Messenger with the sidebar as well as the top bar (highlighted by circle in screenshot) . Now you'll say so what! Chrome also has facebook in sidebar. Actually this sidebar and top bar will accompany you wherever you go! Oops!
I mean the sidebar will be on even if you are on browsing on other websites (yes! even without a facebook tab open)

Here's how to to do it -

1. Download Firefox 17
2. Go to Facebook Messenger for Firefox
3. Click Turn On (green button in above screenshot) and Log in to Facebook.

                    


The four buttons on the top navigation bar in the above screenshot lets you access facebook features seamlessly while you browse other websites.
The first button links to your profile, as well as letting you hide the Sidebar and Desktop notifications (yes you get FB notifications on desktop even while browsing other sites). This lets you hide either one, or both, to keep distractions to a minimum. You can also disconnect the integration entirely by clicking Remove from Firefox.


The next three buttons are familiar - Friend Requests, Messages and Notifications respectively.

So this alliance of the two F's (firefox and facebook) is sure to amuse and make you say - WHAT THE F* ?


Reasons why I will switch from Chrome to Firefox 17

- Facebook Integration (Biggest Reason)
- Lighter and Simpler Interface
- Fast and even Faster then Chrome (This times's it's actually faster)
- Stable and Bug free, You won't have to Kill Pages!

Maximize Flight Savings - The Triple-Dip Flight Hack: Promo Codes + Gift Cards + Cashback Cards

  The Triple-Dip Flight Hack: Promo Codes + Gift Cards + Cashback Cards = Massive Savings Welcome back to The Paradox Blogger's guide to traveling smarter, not harder. In the world of travel hacking, "Double Dipping" used to be the secret weapon of savvy flyers. But what if you could take it a step further? Most travelers think they have to choose between a promo code and a discounted payment method . By following a specific sequence, you can stack a promo code, a discounted gift card, AND a cashback credit card to pull off the ultimate Triple Dip .

THE FLIGHT DAY

  It was that momentous day and I was ready for it. I found myself in front of the mirror, keenly analysing my own reflection. No I was not a narcissist. I was more intent on determining how much I had changed. Have I really changed? Have I not been the person I was supposed to be? Before I could answer my own questions, I heard the message tone of my phone. It was she and her message said - "Please try to be on time at least tonight. Else let me know, I will help myself with a cab." I replied back - "That won't be necessary. The cab is here already. Starting now. Be ready." I lifted my luggage and rushed to the cab outside.   Shall we directly go to the airport Sir? asked the driver. "No we have to pick someone on the way and then take us to airport." The driver nodded and the cab was on its way. "Someone"- I just referred to her as "someone". Is that what she will be for me after tonight? Is this truly ...
