New car pre-delivery checklist
Submitted by fotios-dev on Fri, 2011-06-03 14:00Listed below are the points you must check before accepting delivery of a new car.
1. Accept delivery of the car only during daylight hours so that you can inspect it properly. NEVER accept final delivery of a car at night or while the car is not clean (a new car should always be delivered sparkling clean).
2. Ask If the car has ever been repaired (even a minor repair). Some dealers will only tell you if you ask.
Lost bookmarks after Firefox 4 restart
Submitted by fotios-dev on Wed, 2011-05-25 03:46Turns out that if after update from Firefox 3.x version to Firefox 4.x version you are losing bookmarks every time you restart your browser you need to rename the prefs.js file under your profile folder (usually an arcane named folder under c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles) so that it can be regenerated next time Firefox starts.
After I did just that It seems to be saving new bookmarks and retaining them after restart but it will take some time to trust it again.
