I think I have a pretty optimized Firefox setup. Personally I don’t think anybody needs more than two toolbars in Firefox at all times. How can you cut down on the clutter and keep everything accessible with just a few clicks here and there?
1. Shrink Your Main Menu Bar!
Install the Tiny Menu extension to shrink your main menu navigation. This extension replace the standard menu bar with a tiny menu popup.
2. Toss Out the Firefox Throbber!
Ditch [...]
Several folks have been sending me this tip in so I figured it was about time I got to posting about it. Seems like the original claim to fame, as far as finding this tip goes to the folks at Digital Inspiration.
1. Create a bookmark for this address: talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client
2. Right-click on that bookmark and select “Properties”.
3. Check the box that says, “Load this bookmark in sidebar” and you are all set.
Now you can get [...]
Ever wanted to take a step into the Mozilla foundation?
Here we have about as close as you and me are going to get. I just stumbled upon this interview with Mitchell Baker that Robert Scoble posted over at PodTech.net. 40 minutes of quality Mozilla interview action! It has been a long time since I have seen any real good podcasts or interviews with folks behind Mozilla so this is nice to see.
Just as [...]
We all want more attention to be played to the active tab inside of Firefox, that seems to be one thing that is asked for over and over again. Well, as with many problems you might face, Firefox has more than one solution to be had.
The Hard Way – Editing Your userChrome.css
They have a pretty good write up on how to do this over at Mozilla Links that you should check out if you are interested in [...]
I have been getting E-mails about some links on FirefoxFacts.com not working. That is just crazy talk I thought. Mozilla isn’t goofy enough to start removing extensions and changing links left and right, are they? Well I have to say I was proven wrong.
Mozilla’s new addon Web site has broken my Web site and a dozen others out there that have linked to extensions in the past.
So if you are checking out a [...]
Now I could see where the mismatched domains popup warning might be useful for some, but for me it just tends to get in my way. If you have not seen there errors in Firefox, they come up with somebody’s SSL certificate doesn’t match the domain name it is registered to.
The Remember Mismatched Domains extension for Firefox is here to save the day.
The Remember Mismatched Domains extension for Firefox and Thunderbird adds a “Don’t warn me again about this [...]
Need another bright yet simple theme for Firefox?
Just like CrystalFox Cute (which I took a look at a few days ago) this style shares the same clean and simple interface without a lot of the fuss you see in other themes.

I realize I can’t cover every single awesome Firefox addition on my own – and I always enjoy finding other sources of Firefox information as well. Here are a few links that I have stumble upon this past week that I thought you might enjoy.

Now I am pretty happy with the several jobs that I have, but I know some other folks out there might not be as lucky as I am. I get to help people out 24/7 and I think that is a pretty cool job.
If I could have had a easier way of getting to where I am today – I would appreciate that as well.
I recently ran across a Firefox extension called Percula. What [...]
I am not sure if I really like the idea of my browser being cute. Then again, not sure if I would want it to be overly macho either. Nobody likes a browser with a five-o-clock shadow and a bad attitude. Most people would say Internet Explorer fits that description, not Firefox.
With that now being common knowledge now I have to say I like the CrystalFox Cute theme for Firefox. It is pretty darn cute. [...]
