In the windows version of Firefox you can select a single word of your address, in ubuntu it’s been changed and here’s the fix:
type: ‘about:config’ in your address-bar and click that you’ll be careful with the settings
search for: ‘browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll’ and double click it
You don’t have to relaunch Firefox for the browser to notice the change.
Firefox and every other browser on windows features a ‘previous page hotkey’, the backspace key alas the fact that firefox on ubuntu isn’t as feature rich, so here a work around:
Go to “about:config”, you know to inspect the sqllite db firefox stores everything in.
`Filter` for ‘browser.backspace_action’ and change its value to 0 (zero).
All my coding is done on linux, on the ubuntu distro which isn’t always that nice for portables i might add. Gnome bugs me much for it’s problem to properly control the brightness on my portable but apart from that it’s nice.
Now, a team of developers has brought a mac osx like feature to ubuntu or gnome: gnome-do. check it out, install and enjoy:
Ubuntu 10.10 has been released a few days ago and I found a few nice things to do with it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/10/customizing-ubuntu-10-10-with-a-dock-new-icon-theme-effects-global-menu-and-more/
Now that I’m using Ubuntu 8.04 on my laptop as primary system, I had the chance to check out many things on it and it displeases me greatly. The bugs I found:

and then
firefox 0.0.0.0:3000
I get rails version 2.0.2 and I already reinstalled ubuntu just for that
Ubuntu has issues and if I can get gentoo running on my laptop I’ll change gladly. Unfortunantly gentoo has problems in virtualbox something with xorg server so I have to check that out.
