CSSViewer
Learning and using CSS can either be a webmaster’s best friend or a webmaster’s worst enemy. Learning what does what and how you get the most out of it isn’t always easy with CSS. Thanks to this Firefox extension though, you can learn from what you see what other Web sites do.
Make Firefox Look Like IE
I know the first thought that comes to mind is, why would you want to?” but there are some good reasons. Maybe you could sneak Firefox onto somebody’s system (for their own protection, of course) using this series of tips, extensions and themes? Maybe you really like the Internet Explorer interface?
No matter what the reason is, firefoxie.net has got the steps on how to do it.
Making Acrobat Reader Faster In Firefox
I don’t look at many Acrobat files on a day by day basis, but I can only imagine how frustrating it might be doing it over and over again in Firefox. It is a little on the slow side. The folks over at Propellerhead.tv have some tips on how to make the process a little faster for everybody.
Digg Coral Cache
Don’t you hate it when you find something interesting on the front page of digg.com and it is already down due to the high traffic demands? So do I. Some people belly-ached over my last digg-related Firefox extension pick. Digg Coral Cache should be a winner with everybody. It turns those links into Coral Cache links or a user-specified cache-server link.
SEO Tools
Search engine optimization (SEO) has become big business in the Online world we live in today. Everybody wants to know how to “work” the search engines so they can get themselves in as many results as possible. What SEO Tools does this extension provide? It comes with: spider simulator, keyword density, determine link price, Yahoo web rank, domain stats, HTTP headers, robots text viewer, whois lookup, keyword suggestions, web site country and domain age.
Firefox Flicks
These movies might not help you use Firefox any better, but some of them are pretty fun to watch. The project is to “create a 30-second ad, in any style (live action or animated,) that brings Firefox to life for the millions of Web users who have yet to discover Firefox and the better Web experience it delivers.”
My suggestion for you? Go watch “Wheee!”, it is my favorite so far.
