After a while, Firefox browser might tend to encounter issues like slowdown, errors, sudden crashes, unwanted toolbars, etc. making it difficult to enjoy a clean, safe and faster browsing environment. Luckily, Mozilla has finally coped up with this problem by introducing a smart and easy way to Reset Firefox in the latest beta version of Firefox. Firefox 13 Beta with new ‘Reset’ feature offers the ability to restore Firefox to its default factory state without re-installing and while saving your essential information.

Certainly, this is a great addition to Firefox as users would now be able to fix most issues simply by resetting and without requiring any type of manual troubleshooting. Resetting doesn’t hard reset the browser, it works by creating a new profile folder while preserving your Bookmarks, Browsing history, Passwords, Cookies, and form auto-fill information. To make the restoration seamless and effective, Firefox does not saves your extensions/ add-ons, themes, open tabs/windows, tab groups, download history, and more.

To reset Firefox to its default configuration, click on the Firefox button located at top-left corner, open the Help sub-menu and select ‘Troubleshooting Information’. Then click on the ‘Reset Firefox’ button, a confirmation window will appear, tap to continue. Upon resetting, Firefox will list the information imported. Click Finish to open!

Note: The ‘Reset Button’ is currently available in Firefox 13 Beta. If you’re looking to reset preferences on current stable build of Firefox, then follow this guide by Mozilla.

Google Chrome, the best and most popular web browser has turned more awesome with the introduction of a new smart feature that syncs all your tabs across devices and thus provides the ability to quickly access the tabs that you opened on your other device. Let’s say, you’ve a Chrome session running on your computer, and perhaps you want to access it from your notebook on the go. Chrome beta now makes it possible! This is indeed a great and useful feature, earlier available in Dev releases.

To Enable Syncing of All Tabs Across Other devices, firstly install the latest Chrome beta on all of your devices. Then open Settings, click on ‘Advanced sync settings’ and make sure the ‘Open Tabs’ option is checked (enabled by default if Sync everything is selected). You need to do this on all your devices that you want to sync and ensure that you’re signed into the same Google account as on your other devices. Now when you’re on the New tab page, there will be a new option ‘Other Devices’ in the bottom right corner of Chrome. Just click on it to access tabs opened on your other devices like Chromebook, Macbook, PC, Android phone, etc.

The tab’s back and forward navigation history is also included, so you can pick up browsing right where you left off. If you use Chrome for Android Beta, the tab will also be available on your phone, right there in your pocket when you hit the road.

To give it a try, download the latest Chrome beta and sign into your account. Enjoy!

If you’re a die hard Chrome user then here is something interesting that you might not want to miss. Google has introduced an official Chrome extension ‘My Chrome Theme’, allowing users to simply create custom themes and decorate the browser using their favorite images and colors. Earlier, one was limited to readymade themes designed by Google and various Artists. But not anymore, it’s your time now to be creative!

My Chrome Theme lets you easily design a desired Google Chrome theme in just a few clicks to add a personal touch to your browser. To get started, simply install the extension and launch the app from new tab page. Then choose a custom image from your computer or using webcam that will serve as the Chrome’s background. Adjust the image position using the couple of options listed and proceed to Step 2.

There you can choose a custom color for toolbar, background tab and frame. Or simply tap ‘I’m feeling lucky’ to automatically add a color scheme.

Next give the theme a name (optional description) and your personalized theme for Chrome is ready to use. You can install the theme and share it with anyone on Google+ or using the unique URL provided.

One downside is that the app currently lacks some advanced editing features and offers very limited amount of colors. We hope that should be integrated in future updates.

Just like any other browser, Mozilla Firefox stores all the significant stuff on your computer that is required for its functioning. If you’re a power Firefox user with lots of data and information stored over time, then it would become a nightmare for you to manually input all the browsing information, add-ons, passwords and other data, in case you decide to format your Windows, make some critical changes to Firefox settings, or just wish to move Firefox to a new computer.

Similar to MozBackup, Firefox Backup Tool is a simple and efficient tool for Windows that lets you completely backup your Firefox browser. It can easily backup all the important Firefox configuration, including user preferences, bookmarks, extensions, browsing history, form history, saved passwords, cookies, etc. as a single backup file on your system. You can also add a password to the backup file to secure it. The Firefox backup created can be restored anytime using the same tool and you need to input the correct password if added while taking a backup.

It’s advisable NOT to restore a 32-bit backup file to a 64-bit version of Firefox, as some of the 32-bit add-ons might not be compatible with a 64-bit build. Firefox Backup Tool is a freeware, currently supports Windows (both x86 and x64 versions).
