I got an e-mail the other day from a Firefox Facts reader that wanted to know where the best Firefox related forum on the Web is. Well, there are a lot of places that might discuss Firefox in forum form, however there are two places I like to point people for their Firefox forum needs.
After my last post, let us all take a look at a good Firefox theme this time around. Springshine is a playful and colorful little theme to help your browser move into the season of Spring.
I got a warning for all my Firefox loving followers out there, stay away from any Firefox themes that claim to be, “interactive” or have been developed by BrandThunder.
What is so bad about BrandThunder themes?
Have you noticed some of the new themes for Firefox are being called, interactive? This puzzled me for some time, as I was curious as to what they meant by this. So, since most of these themes came from the developer, BrandThunder – I tried out the Puppies theme they developed.
Anybody notice anything a little weird, different or ugly?
Looks like by interactive, they mean we sneak a lot of extra stuff into your browser.
Searching for a better deal while you shop Online? The InvisibleHand add-on for Firefox might be the next browsing companion you need to pick up. Once installed, this add-on for Firefox will let you know if the product you are looking for is cheaper somewhere else.
Find yourself doing a lot of shopping on NewEgg.com? If so, the New Egg button is a browser enhancement you need to install. It allows you to easily navigate through all of the most popular NewEgg destinations at the click of one single button.
Once installed, the NewEgg Button gives you access to all the categories across the wide spectrum of things you can buy at their web site. Some of the categories included are:
Looking to make your web browser a little more blue? I am here to give the Bluetacular theme for Firefox two thumbs up, for an original look and feel when it comes to giving Firefox a new face.
There will be no more updates for Firefox 3.0.x anymore, so if you haven’t upgraded to Firefox 3.6 – you had better hurry up and do so. That was the official word from Mozilla on the topic in a recent meeting.
Want to clear any stored information about one web site in particular, without clearing out all of your browser’s history files? Hidden deep within the Firefox browser, there is a way to clear Firefox’s history for just one single web site. You just have to know where to look.
I am always looking for a way to search the site I am on, and now thanks to CyberSearch – there is an easier way to do just that.
Having just installed the CyberSearch extension, I can tell you my new favorite feature is the ability to search the current web site you are surfing via Google.
Rather than hunting down the X to close your current tab, what if all you had to do was wish upon a star, and then right click anywhere on the tab you wish to shut down? I will let you know how to get that done, without the need of the “wishing upon a star” part.
