R. MAK. shares a nice plugin for Firefox called Tamper Data. What Tamper Data does is it can track or modify http/https requests.In simple words, when we play flash games or take tests on web (which uses javascript), it posts a http requests containing the score. Using the Tamper Data extension we can edit that information to whatever we like.
How to use it:
- Install the extension.
- Goto the the web-page where you want to cheat (can be a game or form quiz).
- Click Tools » Tamper Data » Start Tamper.
- Now complete the game/quiz.
- When you will click on the submit button (to submit the scores) an alert will appear asking you to tamper the data.
- Click Tamper.
- Edit the required fields (most often it is named as “Score”) to the value you want.
- Click Ok.
That’s it, the modified scores will be submitted to the site. Congrats, you are a winner now :D !

15 must-have Firefox tricks
Stumbled Upon some great tricks for firefox which would make your browsing experience much faster and secure. One of the best tricks was enabling the pipelining feature in Firefox.
Speed up Firefox with pipelining
Here’s a simple way to speed up Web browsing with Firefox — turn on its hidden pipelining feature. When you turn on pipelining, you send several requests to a Web server at a time, rather than sending them one by one, so you can load multiple items on a page concurrently. By default, pipelining is turned off in Firefox, but it’s easy to turn it on:
- Type about:config into your address bar and hit Enter.
- In the Filter text box, at the top of the page, type network.http. A list of settings appears, as you can see in the nearby figure.
- Double-click the “network.http.pipelining” setting, to change it to true.
- Double-click the “network.http.proxy.pipelining” setting, to change it to true.
- Double-click the “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” setting, and in the text box that appears, type in 8 and click OK.
Note that not all Web servers can handle pipelining. If for some reason, you find that your performance suffers with it turned on, reverse the above steps to turn it off.

Check4Change :: Firefox Add-ons →
Today the results for CA final exams (May 08) were to be announced and I was busy refreshing the results site as my brothers’ result was to be declared. Though the site said the results will be out at 12, they always do it a bit early. Just then I found a Firefox addon, Check4Change, which gave me some rest by doing the job in an automated fashion.
Usage:
1. Select the text you want monitored for updates.
2. Right-Click. On the Check4Change context menu, select the time interval. The tab icon will indicate this page is being monitored by changing to C4C.
That’s it! Sit back, and wait for the notifications, which include:
* Little dancing C4C letters in the tab icon. Clicking the tab indicates you’ve seen it, and the icon changes back to the original.
* Pop-up alert notification.
* Sound notification.
At 11:03 AM finally there was a pop-up which said that the results were out and my brother became a Chartered Accountant. Congrats bro!

Bored at the airport? Read a free magazine!
Here is a nifty service, courtesy of Zinio. Apple iPhone users can browse full versions of 20 different magazines for free. Titles include Macworld, Lonely Planet, Popular Photography, Playboy and Penthouse.
But here is what makes it cooler; if you trick your browser into thinking it’s an iPhone, you can actually read these magazines for free on your desktop/laptop (PC or Mac).
You’ll need to change the “user agent” on your browser, which is easy to do in Safari or Firefox. In Safari just follow these instructions, and on Firefox you can add this extension and add the following iPhone user agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/4A102 Safari/419 (United States)
After that, simply point your desktop browser to this link and enjoy these free quality publications. If you are really smart, you can even download them locally to your computer to read on the flight.
