Speed Dial on Firefox!

Chrome and Opera users will be aware of the speed dial feature so that you can save time by directly selecting the site of your choice from the speed-dial list.
But what about the firefox and internet explorer users? Okay we have, add-ons but why download add-ons if you can easily make a html code for that. I have attached a file below that contains the code.
The code is simple to understand and if you don't know what the target="_newtab"is that it opens the links in new tabs or new-windows as your browser interprets them. My Firefox 3.6.8 opens them in new tab while the Internet Explorer opens them in new window.But problem in Firefox is that if you have opened a tab by clicking on a link, clicking on a different link will open the link in the same tab as the previous and hence overwriting the already open link.On the other hand in Internet Explorer, the code makes the link to open in new window. I am trying to solve both the problems and will post an update ASAP.
Here is the link for the code.
After creating the code you must remember to rename the extension of the page to ' .html '(How else will it be a webpage!? ;) )Well to set the page as webpage as home-page you have to  do the following steps:

Firefox : Tools->Options and in the homepage box enter the location of the webpage
                             for e.g:file:///D:/html/homepage.html
                          Click on Save. Your home page will be displayed when you restart your browser.

Internet Explorer: Tools->Internet Options-> enter the location in the homepage section
                                                for e.g: file:///D:/html/homepage.html
                         Click on OK. Your home page will be displayed when you restart your browser.

Firefox 4 beta review

Firefox 4's new beta (no.6) has been released and the firefox team has got enough time to correct all it's glitches.  Here is what i think about the new release:

The design seems to be inspired from Opera browser though the speed fails to inspire them.

For me the most important thing is the absence of support to save webpages as .mht format. Those of you who do not know the .mht format, it is a format of webpage where your entire webpage is saved as a single file and you donot need any other folder to contain the files.Isnt it intimidating?

A noticable feature is that of option to 'switch to tab using smart location bar'.
It is not a big deal or something  that forces you to download and install the new beta. It only notifies lets to switch to an already open tab having the same address that you want to visit.

A feature that is intelligent is the merger of the reload and stop buttons.
Now this is somehing smart as you are never going to reload a page before it's loading is  stopped. You have to give this to the mozilla team.

Apart from the above features, there is a support for WebM, new html5 tags, css3 though not completely flawless.

Firefox stresses on the hsts protocol support, this is what i got when i tried loading google using it! 

All in all, the design looks good but the responsiveness and speed of  firefox 3.6.8 is still better than 4
and lets hope to get a .mht file saving support in the later releases.
