Tweak Google Calendar

Gina is at it again with one of those “Better” Firefox extensions. This time around she tackles Google Calendar. As a big user of the other extensions she has released (plus I use Google Calendar too) I couldn’t pass up on the chance to try this one out.
The Better GCal extension for Firefox wraps some of the best Greasemonkey scripts into one easy to install extension. Editing the options of the extension allows you to also turn [...]

Add Thumbnails to Your Bookmarks

With the new Visual Bookmarks Firefox extension you have a quick and painless way of adding thumbnail images to your bookmarks.
The extension lets you capture a part of a web page as an image, then add labels and tags to make a visual bookmark. You can then turn around and arrange them by that label or tag you added. Now if this comes in handy anywhere – it is for when you bookmark videos or image galleries that [...]

CashAddOn – Seems Like a Scam

Looking to make a little green for shopping with a select number of stores Online? One new extension hopes you do – and its name is CashAddOn. This extension and the web site that goes along with it while promoting a “good deal” seems a little fishy to me.
They list percentages on their web site of how much you can make, but the terms of service seems to argue that these numbers actually might be lower. [...]

Box.net Bookmarks Sync

As if we all needed another way to backup or sync our bookmarks from computer to computer – there is now a Firefox extension that allows you to do it via Box.net and their free file hosting service.

Here are a few kind words from the creators of the Box.net Bookmark Synchronizer extension:
Backup your bookmarks! Use the Box.net Backup tool to save your favorite bookmarks online or to sync bookmarks between multiple computers.
Does this extension do anything that the others do [...]

Add Google Reader to Gmail

Do you like to multi-task? Why check your e-mail and read your feeds in two different web applications when you can get it all done in one by combining the power of Google Reader and Gmail.

Now I have talked before about the Gmail + Google Reader greasemonkey script before. After giving it another shot the other day though I noticed the experience is much more polished. What does that mean? Well looking at it [...]

10 Ways to Fix E-mail in Firefox

Better Gmail – A comprehensive suite of Gmail enhancements, including skins, saved searches, keyboard macros, secure access, attachment icons, attachment reminders, [...]

Tab Cloning in Firefox

Cloning is not a thing of just science fiction stories, it is happening right here – right now.
Ok, so maybe I haven’t had a full cup of coffee yet, but all will make sense soon. Often I wish there was an easy way to copy a tab over without having to do a dance with my mouse to make it so in Firefox.
The Duplicate Tab extension takes care of that problem for me. Duplicate Tab allows [...]

Help Wanted: Write for Firefox Facts

I am considering opening up Firefox Facts to a few guest writers, tippers and bloggers.
It is important to hear it from all sides of the fence, so getting a few more voices in the mix is never a bad thing. Now I can not promise you fame or fortune. What I can give you is a nifty link back to your own web project though and a state of the art “Author” credit in the post. [...]

WordPress.com Posting in Sidebar

WordPress.com makes for a great publishing platform.
Some folks out there have e-mailed me and asked for an easier way to post to it. Well, after doing some searching I ran across an extension that will let you blog from your sidebar in Firefox.
The Wordpress.com Sidebar extension puts a button in your browser that allows you to click it and open up an editor on the sidebar where you can get your posting done.

Anti-Firefox Loons Go Off Deep End

Now there is no secret that thee are a number of folks out there that don’t like Firefox. Many of them say it is because the browser has a very dedicated fan base. These guy though (at whyfirefoxisblocked.com) prove they must swim on the shallow end of the intellectual pool.
The Mozilla Foundation and its Commercial arm, the Mozilla Corporation, has allowed and endorsed Ad Block Plus, a plug-in that blocks advertisement on web sites and also prevents site [...]
