-
Note: While this tutorial is for Windows 7, this may also apply in Windows Vista

If you're using the regular Mozilla Firefox, importing your bookmarks, saved passwords and browsing history into Google Chrome is a breeze. Unfortunately for Firefox portable user, Google Chrome doesn't recognize it as an import source. Here's a step-by-step guide on how you can import Mozilla Firefox Portable into Google Chrome in your Windows 7 machine (and possibly Win Vista).

You will need to copy your profile data first from portable firefox to regular firefox:

1) Close any instances of Mozilla Firefox (portable).

2) Download and install the regular version of Mozilla Firefox. Get it here.

3) Launch the newly installed Firefox and close it.

4) Open up explorer (e.g. My Computer or any other folder). Type the following into the address bar and press enter
%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
5) Inside you will see a folder: something like 7raursp4.default. Open this folder and delete all files and folder inside it.

6) Open the location folder of your Firefox Portable. Navigate to: \Firefox Portable Folder\Default Data\profile

*Note: \Firefox Portable Folder\ varies depending on the installation folder you use when you first install it.

Select all folders and files inside profile folder. Copy it and paste it to the 7raursp4.default folder you open up earlier.

Importing bookmarks, saved passwords and browsing history to Google Chrome

7) Open up Google Chrome.

8) Click on the wrench icon at the upper right portion of Chrome and select Options.

9) Under Personal Stuff tab, click import data from another browser.

10) Click import and that's it.

Taken from: atmaxplorer.com I’ve been receiving tons of questions on how to check if their PSP can have custom firmware installed. Here’s a complete and concise guide to get you going.

People install Custom Firmware so they can run Homebrew, programs developed by people that don’t have a contract with Sony. A PSP with Custom Firmware could also back up your games from the UMD to your computer; it also allows you to play those backups from your Memory Stick (MS). You could also do some serious customizations to your theme. Basically, you free your PSP from the hands of Sony. Why can’t I install Custom Firmware on my ...

The CD Rom is snap in type, so I easily took it out and back in without hassle. Upon logging in to windows, the problem still persist. Next, I checked the Device Manager (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, then Hardware and click on Device Manager). As you can see on the picture below, there is a problem with the CD ROM because there is a yellow exclamation mark befor...
