You might not know the name Anthony Lieuallen, but I bet you have heard of Greasemonkey before. It is the Firefox extension that allows you to extend or customize your favorite web sites in a number of different ways.
Anthony is one of the driving forces behind that project, so I thought it would be fun to pick his brain to find out what his part in the project is, and what advice he might have for other hopeful Greasemonkey [...]
If you are a user of the Stylish extension, you will love this little tip. I use iGoogle, however I never stay on the page long enough to use the embedded chat they included a while back. However I am happy to say I found a solution.
Install this Stylish user style:
Hide iGoogle Chat Tab on iGoogle Home Page
Once doing so, the chat (as you seen in the screenshot above) disappears. To make it work for me, I had [...]
It isn’t every day that we get the chance to pick the brain and converse with probably one of the most popular Firefox theme designers (and all around pretty cool guy) TwisterMc. He is best known for the iPox series of themes he has done for Firefox, but also has several other projects worth checking into when you get the time.
To many you are only known as TwisterMc, the brilliant designer that does all those iPox themes for Firefox. Where [...]
It looks like Meebo’s Firefox extension has gained a lot of popularity and praise since its debut. Mashable is even reporting that “Meebo has already gained 12,000 users in under a week”. If you are familiar with Meebo – the Firefox extension should seem very similar in nature.
Get a sidebar with all of your buddies visible while you’re browsing. Get visual notifications when your friends IM you. Drag and drop links and images from web pages [...]

What, you didn’t know that Firefox had more than a few branches off from it’s Mozilla base? To keep things simple, we can think of them as cousins (just hope they don’t start kissing). Both the Webrunner and Instantbird projects show a lot of promise and might just be the next big thing for the Mozilla team.
Webrunner – WebRunner is based on a concept called Site Specific Browsers (SSB). The idea behind Webrunner is to make a [...]
Some of the new tools and services out there with the social kink in them have yet to really impress me. One of the few that does the job though and does it well is Me.dium. This service, along side the Firefox extension that comes with it is something I think everybody should try out.
The neat thing about Me.dium is it opens up an entire new world that many might not see behind the web site your visiting. [...]
I have not yet been bitten by the Twitter bug yet. Personally I think it is a little on the lame side of things. It does seem like it is getting more and more attention these days. So when I stumbled across this post at Mashable I figured I’d give TwitBin a shot.
In case constant SMS Twitter updates weren’t enough, you can now get them in your browser sidebar, using TwitBin. It’s fully functional for Twittering, so [...]
Want to use the Gabbly chat service in your browser’s sidebar?
Well first, I guess I should tell you what Gabbly is about. It is a free service that allows you to chat in real time with folks that are on the same Web site as you. Now you can get your chat in a new way – via your sidebar in Firefox. I like this a lot better than the default “floating window” that the [...]
Gabbly is a very cool chat service. What is so cool about it? It allows you to instantly connect with any number of people viewing a single Web site. Any service like this must have a Firefox extension that is equally as great, right?
