  1. Viewing your site in Responsive Design Mode

    Hi everyone,
    The latest version of Firefox (24.0) offers some interesting new features, among which the possibility to view your site (any site) in Responsive Design Mode. So if you want to know how your site looks like with a mobile device (Iphone, Ipad etc.), view it using Firefox.

  2. Preventing flicker when navigating between pages

    Pages that contain heavy script files may produce a white flash (flicker) when the user navigates between them. This flicker often occurs in IE and Chrome, less often so in Firefox. There are different solutions proposed on the Internet for solving the problem. I noticed they don't always work.

    There's a good chance the flicker goes away if you do the following:

  4. Forcing YouTube to play videos in a specific quality

    I was having troubles the other day loading a YouTube-video (using Firefox). The URL:
    http://www.youtube.com/v/W13GifsFFfk?version=3
    (this url may work on your machine, but it doesn't on mine (when I use Firefox)).

    My guess was that the problem was caused by the video's HD-quality. So I googled around to see how we can force YouTube to play videos in a specific quality. I found that we can do it by appending the following to the YouTube-url:

  5. Broadcast your YouTube-playlists

    People using YouTube-playlists do so on their YouTube-channels, most of the time. But we don't need YouTube to broadcast our YouTube-playlists. We only need YouTube to create them and to determine our playlist-number(s). If you want to broadcast your playlists outside any channel, do the following.

    Go to http://www.youtube.com/my_videos. (You have to create a YouTube account if you are 'new').
    Create a playlist and add videos to it by clicking on 'add videos', or simply add ...
