Probably the majority of you already know this but for those who don't: If you can not use the last supergrow bag to fertilize your neighbor's farm then simply place a message sign and press delete directly when it appears, this will let you use the last bags again. (it's a temporary workaround until they fix this problem).

New Firefox Beta Improves Facebook and FarmVille Experience 150%

FarmVilleDate 162 (Sunday, November 29, 2009) 3 comments

I just installed the new FireFox 3.6b4 beta : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html and could not believe my eyes. Either Facebook and FarmVille just put in a couple of hundred extra servers or the new version of Firefox really improves speed.

Going through my requests usually took a loooooooooong time but now… clickclickclick… done.

So here is a really good tip for you if you are using FireFox for Facebook: get it now!

p.s. if you have any add-ons that are not supported yet and that you really want type "about:config" in your url bar. Then add a new boolean value (rightmouseclick) "extensions.checkCompatibility" and set it to false and enter another new boolean value (rightmouseclick) "extensions.checkUpdateSecurity" and also set this one to false.

There are some other interesting about:config settings to set around "Facebook" and its applications (or rather in general):

network.http.pipelining to true network.http.proxy.pipelining to true network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 8 network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 96 network.http.max-connections-per-server to 32	This trick is on 1 million websites: speed it up, you need it
browser.search.openintab	set it to true. Now, when you search on Google or Wikipedia or whatever "gazing ball" when a friend types something and you want to look it up, it never accidently kills your Facebook screen but opens the searches in a new screen
dom.max_script_run_time	set it to a higher value of seconds. E.g. the Zynga support site will popup these script execution time exceeded messages.
layout.spellcheckDefault	set it to 2 now also the Facebook single line textboxes will be spellchecked so that you are not "corrected" by friends but by the spellchecker,
*browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll*	false, much handier when stripping parts of an url.
browser.urlbar.autofill	set it to true, now when you type "face" in your browser url bar it will automagically place already "Facebook" on there.

Increase FarmVille Gift To Coin Conversion with new Gift Box Feature!

image173 Increase FarmVille Gift To Coin Conversion with new Gift Box Feature!

Today we saw also a new improvement in the Gift Box.

Normally you would receive a gift (up to 30 at one time) and then place them on your land, try to sell it (and more than often get an out-of-sync error while trying to sell a horse) (so no longer selling gifts). But…

Now… we have…. rapapa…. "SELL ALL". This is way cool. I have often hundreds of gifts in my waiting queue and now this feature (if things gets stable around my account again) will allow me to get a lot of revenue from it.

So let me calculate this for you if it is worth your while (this is where you come for to this blog I think). Let's suppose that 30 clicks will take you 2 minutes clicking. What objects are then worth your while doing this?

For that I have updated the "all Gifts Farmers Almanac Page" : http://almanac.farmvillechicken.com/all-gifts-by-selling-price

As you can see, IF the gravestone were still in the game you could get 6000 coins per 2 minutes clicking. I think that is really worth it since that is about the same as selling two large ponds.

Personally I think the first 20 in the list are really worth it collecting via gifts, the rest I would "ignore" while doing it (unless you only have a few gifts then you would take anything available).

Another new feature in the giftbox is that you now can see who gave you the gifts, which is another nice addition to making this a social game. You will get reminded again who these nice neighbors are who gave you the gifts:
