Bookmarks in Firefox have a very powerful feature that most people don’t know about. Let’s take a look at this:

Click on Bookmarks.
Right-click on any bookmark you have there.
Choose properties.

Now, third from the top, there is a text box called “Keyword”. Most likely, this is blank because by default it’s not used at all. Welcome to the wonderful world to keyword bookmarking. Let me show you how to use it.
Say for instance that you wanted to create a keyword bookmark for [...]

How can you see some of the Firefox Addons that might not be ready for “prime time” or mass usage yet? Starting a while back, the Mozilla people decided to create a special section for themes and extensions like that. What is the name for this magical place? The Sandbox.
So how do you gain access to this area? It really is not that difficult. Just click on the “Register” link on the Mozilla Addons web [...]

Ctrl + Shift [...]

With the release of Firefox 2, the browser has done a much better job with handling RSS feeds.
Instead of throwing you up a bunch of random XML code they actually give you a pretty nice interface to learn from and use when clicking on that little orange subscription button you see on all the Web sites these days.
For an example, let’s use the RSS feed for Firefox Facts:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/firefoxfacts
Now when you launch that in Firefox, you will be given a clean [...]

Themes in Firefox are little files you can download and install that change the look and feel of the browser. You can think of it as changing the external skin that you see when you use Firefox from day to day. This is just one more useful way to personalize Firefox and make it your own.
The easiest way to download new themes is to open up Firefox, then go to Tools then click on Add-ons. When that [...]
