The Office Theme for Firefox

Wow, a Firefox theme based on Microsoft Office?  Your first thought might be this theme is about as exciting as a “watching paint dry” extension for the browser.  Thankfully though, I can say it does deliver a pretty nice looking browsing interface.

Extra features: Add one or more of the following pairs of lines to your userChrome.css file to customize your Office theme:
/* change the tab close button to a different and larger close button */ @import url(“chrome://global/skin/alt-close-button.css”);
/* always use green [...]

Mattahan Delivers a Different Firefox

The Mattahan theme for Firefox is in one word, different.  The very unique icons of Mattahan mixed with the browsing capabilities of (and overall awesomeness) Firefox make for an excellent mix-match of style and substance.

Recently featured on a list of the top themes you have never used before, Mattahan is one of the few on the list that are definitely new to me.  You can pick it up over at Deviant Art or the Firefox Add-ons web site.

Omnibar Comes to Firefox

Looking at Google Chrome features that could be ported to Firefox with an add-on, one of the most obvious additions many people wanted to see was Google Chrome’s Omnibar.  It mixes both the search box and address bar into one browser feature. 
The simply named Omnibar extension gets the job done, and adds a few new features where Google let us down in Chrome.  First, the most obvious feature (as pictured above) it gives you all the features of the [...]

FfChrome is a Slimmer and Click-less Right Click Menu

From the creator of Colorful Tabs, we have yet another handy and helpful Firefox extension.  FfChrome, for Firefox, is an add-on that trims and slims your context menus.  After installing too many add-ons, your right click menu might get a little cluttered.  FfChrome is here to clean things up.

The second part of this awesome addition to Firefox is that you never have to click on anything to get it going.  All you have to do is pause on the [...]

Did You Know About These Firefox Mouse Shortcuts?

Want to make your mouse work for you in Firefox?  There are several handy keyboard and mouse combinations you might want to start memorizing.  For those of us who spend our day with one hand on the mouse and the other on the keyboard – these shortcuts can sometimes be faster than doing things the manual way or with keyboard shortcuts alone.
Shift + Scroll Down = Go Back a Page
Shift + Scroll Up  = Go Forward a Page
Ctrl + [...]

hmmXP Theme for Firefox 3

Based around the hmmXP visual style for Windows, the hmmXP theme for Firefox gives you something familiar (that sort of Windows 9x look) with just a touch of visual appeal.  The theme is compact, but doesn’t feel as if everything is squeezed in just for the sake of squeezing it in. 

As said by the author of this awesome theme, a lot of love has been put into it, so that it looks great in any windows theme.  If [...]

Split Up Your Browser

Split Browser, the add-on for Firefox, splits up the content area of the browser in as many windows as you like.  Each window you see, also has its own mini browser inside.

This is a really helpful extension for those people out there that work on multiple pages at the same time and down want to have two Firefox windows open side by side or don’t want to switch between tabs.  There are several ways you can decide to split [...]

Mozilla.com is Down and Out?

Hey, have no fear – repairs are in progress!

This is the first time I can remember seeing all the Mozilla web sites down, wonder if they are fixing a technical problem, or maybe getting ready to launch something new?  Let the speculation begin!

Quickly Access All the Other Browsers from Firefox

What are you to do when you need to switch to another internet browser in a hurry?  Sure we all love Firefox, but some of us use maybe two or three other browsers for the Web too.  How can you quickly leap into Safari, Opera, Chrome or even Internet Explorer from Firefox?  Very easily.
Open Links in Chrome – As the new kid on the block, it took some hunting to find a good way to switch to Chrome [...]

New FirefoxFacts.com Layout and Design

In case you missed it, here is the new FirefoxFacts.com layout and design I have been working on for the past few weeks.  Let me know what you think!

It is live now, if you haven’t checked it out yet.  I have added a lot of nice features, fixed a lot of design flaws and hopefully, all the big changes have been done.  Will probably be doing a few more small tweaks here and there – but overall I am pretty [...]
