Need an easier way to keep in touch with your friends on the Web?  You have your Twitter add-ons and your Facebook add-ons.  What about one that promises to connect them all?  That is what the Friendbar add-on for Firefox is all about.
The nice thing here is that it displays a running stream of text and photo updates from Facebook and Twitter right on the toolbar, and allows you to post updates and reply from the toolbar itself.
Some of the [...]

Remember Prism?  It was the Mozilla powered application that let you turn any web page into a desktop application.  Not much has happened since it was released, however many other browsers have started looking in that direction (merging the web and the desktop program list).  So what about Firefox?

It appears there are plans to include “Prism-like features” into a future release of Firefox.
The plan thus far is to help users discover when they might want to make a web application [...]

This year for Christmas, I am doing things a little differently.  Instead of actually getting presents for the thousands of readers we have coming in here daily (or my favorite 5,000 or so that subscribe to the free RSS feed).  I wanted to give you the gift of two of my other projects you may or may not know about.
Mitchelaneous
This is my blog filled with geek candy.  More personal and of the wall in nature, this is my personal spot [...]

I have no clue what avant.garde stands for,  but I do have to say – no matter what you call it, this theme is colorful and unique.

I think that the theme creator describes the inspiration for this theme much better than I could do.   So I made a theme based on the humble spiral, and I wanted it to be colorful and fun, but also inherently functional and practical. There are certainly colorful and fun themes out there, and there [...]

In the address bar, type in about:config, and then hit enter.
At the warning, click the button that says, “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.  Now you are ready to [...]

Also, another neat tip is that you can use “@” before your search to just search the web site you [...]

Looking for a way to keep the kids busy while you wrap the Christmas presents this year?

KidZui is an addition to Firefox that with one click turns the browser into a kid-safe environment with over a million kid-friendly websites, games, pictures, and YouTube videos.  I do have to say that this service might be a nice gateway to allow younger kids to get on the Web without much need to worry.
Another feature they pride themselves on is when locked down, [...]
