Mozilla Firefox: How to disable automatic virus scan after downloadMozilla Firefox is one of the most powerful internet browsers today and it comes with lot of inbuilt features. One such feature is the automatic scanning of the file that you download. I am not sure whether Mozilla Firefox integrates itself with the computer’s antivirus program but it surely does this job well. But if you are an experienced user and know exactly what you are downloading or you are downloading huge files frequently then you may want to turn the virus scanning off. Here’s how you do it:

1) Open Mozilla Firefox and type in ‘about:config’ in the address bar.Firefox - about:config

2) A warning message may appear which needs to be taken care of. After that, in the window that appears, type in ‘browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone’ in the Filter textbox.Firefox - Applying filter

3) By default, its value is ‘true’. You need to double-click it to make it ‘false’ as shown above.

4) Restart Mozilla Firefox and that’s it. No more annoying virus scans after downloads.

WMP: How to make ‘Most Played Songs’ auto-playlistMost you must still be preferring Windows Media Player over other music players and why not? It is versatile, organizes your music pretty well, it comes bundled with Windows and does its job quite good. I personally prefer Windows Media Player 12 (which is the latest version in Windows 7) and AIMP2. Many other music players like iTunes can generate auto-playlists based upon Artists, Album, Genre, Play count, etc. Sadly, in WMP you manually have to sort them out and then make a playlist. What if you want to make an auto-playlist of your ‘most played songs’. Here’s a very simple trick.

1) Open WMP and on the left pane click on ‘Music’.

WMP 12 - Left pane

2) Once you get the list of all the songs, right-click on the column title and click on ‘Choose columns…’

WMP 12 - Choose columns...

3) In the window that appears, check ‘Play Count’ and click OK.

WMP 12 - Play count

4) You will see a new column ‘Play Count’ is added. Click on it and your list of songs will get sorted according to the number of times a particular song was played. By sorting it in a ‘Descending’ manner, you now have your most played songs listed. Double click on the first song and the whole list will get into the ‘Now Playing’ list. You’re done.
