Without images on the Web, we would be filled with a black and white text bonanza. Boring, dull and without personality and flair. So pictures, graphics – stupid kung-fu fighing kittens with even stupider sayings attached to you, I salute you. With Firefox you can get a little more out of your images other than just viewing them. Any browser could do that, but can your browser…
Zoom into images?
Ok, maybe image zoom isn’t the hardest [...]
Firefox Personas is back! I’ve seen a handful of blogs covering this re-launch I guess you could call it all weekend long. It is an awesome project and I am happy to see it is getting a little more time in the sun. Personas are lightweight designs that “skin” the Firefox web browser. Delivered as a web service, the menu interface and the Persona designs are exceptionally dynamic, and should allow for a wide range of interesting [...]
You browse those articles, web sites and Web 2.0 masterpieces, give them a quick look over and say to yourself, “I should really comeback here later” because you know your suppose to Christmas shopping – not browsing through interesting pages.

If you have been in these situational shoes before, I have a quick fix that will let you get back to work. No extensions are needed and only a little browsing habit needs to [...]
I know of several people out there that have multiple profiles for the same web site. For example, if Tom wanted to be able to have two different e-mail accounts at Gmail instead of one. Before you would have to use multiple browsers or do the logout and login dance to check them both. CookiePie looks to allow you to manage multiple cookies in one browser window.
The CookiePie extension enables you to maintain different cookies storage [...]
Seems like another company is jumping in trying to make your browsing safer. CallingID nearly slipped by my radar, but I do have to say they seem to stack up with the competition at least. SiteAdvisor and WOT might want to take notice.
Here are a few more details about CallingID Link Advisor:

Want to view, edit, publish video for the Web without worrying about having the right plugin, or doing the right version for the right people depending on the video method they like the most?
Well both Mozilla and the Opera people are getting behind a movement to do just that.
Looks like the solution will be to use some open source technology mixed with a new tag to make embedding video in web pages easier.
Opera and Mozilla officials say the changes to [...]
Firefox uses a lot of RAM. It is the number one complaint about this otherwise awesome web browser. So what can you do to solve this issue? Well there are a few rumored fixed out there in the wild.

For the integer value, enter in 15000 [...]
