I’ve mentioned the FXChrome theme for Firefox in the past, but I haven’t looked at it in a while. They have moved away from being just another Google Chrome clone and have done some really interesting things worth checking out. The default theme still has a great looking clean interface like the Google Chrome browser – but if you have the Stylish add-on – you can do a little more customization.
Bookmark Highlighter
Need a way to easily highlight links you already have bookmarked while you are browsing the Web? The Bookmark Highlighter add-on for Firefox will get the job done. This quick and easy add-on for Firefox will highlight links to any URLs on a webpage that are currently saved to your bookmarks.
BFT Evo: Smooth Firefox Theme
I think the dark days of Firefox theme development are over. Over the past few weeks I have been able to find some really amazing Firefox themes that are well worth checking out. At the top of that list is BFT Evo. The BFT Evo theme is really slick and smooth.
Vertical Toolbar
Running out of room across the top of the Firefox browser window? Why not try adding a few things to the side instead? The Vertical Toolbar add-on for Firefox will help you organize your browser by adding an additional toolbar to the far right side of the browser window.
Great Dark Theme for Firefox
If you are looking for the best dark theme to decorate your Firefox browser with, take a look at Bloomind FT DeepDark 2. While the name does not roll off the tongue, it is the most downloaded Firefox theme at the moment via the Firefox Add-ons website.
Hide All Content Except Multimedia
Thanks to the Light Switch add-on for Firefox, you can hide any other content on the website you are looking for that is not some sort of multimedia. Once you install and start using this extension, you can quickly "turn off the lights" when watching videos or checking out pictures too.
Open Plain Text URLs as Links
There is nothing more annoying than finding a link to a page you want to navigate to and you can’t just click it to get there. Call it shotty webmastering or bad design, but it does happen. However, there is a Firefox add-on that will save the day and it’s name is Text Link.
Combine Search and Address Boxes
For all the things that the most recent versions of Firefox have done for simplifying the interface, why do we still need to have a separate box for searches? If you are like me and are needing a way to simplify the browser even more – try out Instantfox.
Block Google+ Notifications on Other Apps
Tired of seeing Google+ notifications on other Google applications? This simple user script will do the trick. The Google+ Notifications Blocker user script is the script you want to install to get rid of any Google+ notifications in the upper right hand corner of other Google services, like Gmail – as one example.
How to Stop Website Tracking in Firefox
Want to stop websites from tracking your behavior and details? Firefox supports a new feature that will hopefully be the solution to this problem. It is called Do-not-track. It is easy enough to enable too. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps.
