Install CSS Viewer add-on in Firefox 4.x or 5.x

Are you using Firefox 5.0?
Then you can get CSS Viewer for Firefox 5.0 here: CSSViewer for Firefox 5.0 v. 1.0.3

After a 4 months delay Firefox 4 is here!

CSS Viewer (a must-have add-on for all web developers) is not compatible (at least official) with Firefox 4.0.

Good news! Following the same procedure as in my previous posts, Install CSSViewer add-on in Firefox 3.6.* and Install CSSViewer add-on in Firefox 3.5.* you can install CSS Viewer in Firefox 4.0.*

Just follow these steps:

1. Copy the following address to another browser than Firefox (so that the pop up installation window will not come out)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/cssviewer/

2. Download the file cssviewer-1.0.3-fx.xpi

3. Use 7-zip (or any other extractor) to open it and extract it

4. Open install.rdf with notepad (I used Notepad++ to find easily the line I must change)

5. On line 18 you see <em:maxVersion>3.0.*</em:maxVersion> you must change it to <em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion>

6. Save the file and select all the files you extracted and make a zip file

7. Now you must rename the zip file including the zip extension to cssviewer-1.0.3-fx.xpi (it will prompt you if you are sure you want to change the file name extension and you must click yes)

8. Now drag n’ drop the xpi file to Firefox 4.0.* and the installation window will pop up. Install it normally

I have checked it and it works great in Firefox 4.0

You can download a .xpi file I created and checked that it works fine with Firefox 4.0.
Download: CSSViewer for Firefox 4.0 v. 1.0.3

If you have any question or difficulty installing the add-on please comment.

Streamyx Attenuation and SNR Margin explaination

Streamyx technology relies on ADSL. To provide high speed connection, ADSL relies on unused frequency bands of your telephone cable. A twisted pair copper cable can carry analog voice as well as digital signals simultaneously. The diagram below shows the bandwidth available for a typical telephone cable.

Red block: Analog voice signals. Your normal voice calls are allocated to a maximum of 4kHz.
Green block: Digital Upstream signals. For uploading data to your ISP.
Blue block: Digital Downstream signals. For downloading data from your ISP.
Notice that blue block is larger than green block. Because ADSL users typically download data more than upload, ISPs will allocate a bigger portion of bandwidth for downloading. That’s why your Streamyx download speed is much higher than upload speed.

Downstream traffic is located at the far end of your cable frequency range. Low quality cables cannot provide the entire frequency spectrum and will severely degrade downstream capacity. That’s why some customers have full upload speeds but crippled download speeds. Read the rest of this entry »
