PostHeaderIcon Bug with ImageZoom: when all pictures get bigger

ImageZoom is one of my prefered extentions to FireFox. Yet, sometimes I encounter a situation in which all pictures size is increased.

It is very easy to fix this: in the address bar, launch about:config.

Then find the property imagezoom.defaultGlobalZoom, set it at 100.

And it’s over!

  • installed an Apache server, PHP interpreter and MySQL database in my WinXP computer, without any installer! Don’t lough, it is not so easy as it looks…[1] Thanks to this, I will be able to customize the my blog easier.
  • installed PHPEclipse plugin for PHP under Eclipse 3.1
  • ordered personnal homepage spaces at Free.fr. This will allow me to migrate my old websites from Lycos (and its ugly and invading ads) to quicker and ad-free Free.fr’s servers.
  • updated my .htaccess file to get rid of spam bots. I am regularly spammed by robots from Ukraine and Iran. For Iran, I have a radical solution if the .htaccess-blocking does not work, yayathollah may not appreciate…
  • removed orphan files and directories from my PC.

Notes

[1] I discovered XAMPP distribution just as I finished my installation :-(. Therefore I did not experience it.
