The Mozilla Labs Game On competition is over.  The web game development competition spawn a lot of creative and amazing games.  I can say one thing for sure, I sure am glad I didn’t have to decide who was the best of the best.  The best overall winner was Marble Run – but there were a lot of other awards handed out.

So who are the big winners? Here is a quick rundown:

• BEST OVERALL: MARBLE RUN
• BEST TECHNOLOGY: FAR 7
• BEST WEB-INESS: MARBLE RUN
• BEST AESTHETICS: SKETCHOUT
• MOST ORIGINAL: FAVIMON
• MOST POLISHED: WEBSNOOKER
• MOST FUN: ROBOTS ARE PEOPLE TOO
• COMMUNITY CHOICE: Z-TYPE

Go check out all the winners on the Mozilla Labs website, and let me know which one was your favorite.  For myself, I would have to say Favimon takes the cake for me.  It is simple, strange and very fun to play.

Want to be able to download some of the best HD 1080p videos from across the internet, but missing that Firefox add-on that promises to get it all done in a simple way?  KeepTube is the video downloading extension you might want to take a look at.

According to the author of the KeepTube add-on you can:

Download Youtube Videos (HD 1080p & 720p/HQ MP4, FLV, 3GP) Dailymotion (HQ MP4, FLV), Megavideo (HD/HQ FLV) Google (HQ MP4, FLV), Vimeo (HQ MP4) Break (HQ MP4, FLV), Veoh (HQ MP4, FLV), Metacafe, Spike, Myspace, Facebook, Current, and more!

They even supply a neat chart covering all the video downloading basics they provide, that others don’t.

Color me impressed.  The positive thing about the KeepTube add-on is it supports a lot of websites.  Bad news is, it still will not support every single website you might watch videos on.  However, that is an eventual flaw all these video download add-ons have.

On the negative side, I really don’t like how this add-on puts itself all over the browser.  Give me one simple button or addition to the webpages I visit.  It seems like it is invading my space, just a little ‘bit.

Overall, if you don’t have a video downloading add-on you are in love with yet – give KeepTube a shot.  It gets the job done, supports tons of websites out there and you can download it for free on the official Firefox Add-ons website.

Are you in need of a screen recording device but don’t want to bother installing a bunch of extra applications or services just to get the job done?  Capture Fox is the add-on for Firefox you need to pick up.

Here you can see what the videos look like after recording:

Once installed, the browser add-on rests inside of your status bar, ready to record when you are.  You can select to record just what is inside the Firefox browser or your entire screen too.

Some of the other abilities of Capture Fox include:

• Record a voice over while you do the screen capture
• Tweak the Audio and Video Codec
• Set the Delay in Recording
• Minimize Firefox Upon Recording
• and much more!

If you are searching for an easier way to capture video from your computer’s desktop, this add-on is the perfect tool for the job.  Go learn more about it at CaptureFox.com or download Capture Fox from the Firefox Add-ons web site.

The extension, NetVideoHunter, promises you a world of easy to download videos and music from any YouTube-like video sharing web site.  With it, you can download media from places such as YouTube, MySpace, Google Video, Metacafe, Dailymotion and more.

One more nice feature that comes with this add-on is that before you download any video or music, you can play it in a built-in media player.  It has both fullscreen and video smoothing capabilities too, to make your viewing experience just that much better.

Here is a video tutorial on how to get the most out of NetVideoHunter:

Now, truth be told – there are a lot of extensions out there that promise to make content downloading easy and painless, however many fail in a number of ways.  NetVideoHunter however, has yet to disappoint.  If you have your own favorite media downloader for Firefox, feel free to share!

So who really needs Pixlr?  It is a great alternative for us normal people out there who may not need the entire Photoshop suite of tools, just a simple and easy to use editor.  Having it online and with easy access via Firefox makes it an even handier tool for the web developers out there to have access to.  The only thing you need to have to make it work is Flash. 

One more nice feature about the service is it is super quick.  Just playing around with the editor on its own, it loaded up in under two seconds easily.  To pick up the Firefox add-on for Pixlr, go check out the Firefox Add-on site.  To learn more about the Pixlr editor, be sure to visit pixlr.com.

Firefox Themes at Learn Firefox – Run by the CyberNet News crew it is one of the few unique resources out there. Browse by screenshot and find your favorite.

Customize.org – Firefox Themes – Customize.org has a nice navigational system, but not as many themes as I expected to see them have. Hopefully it will grow more over time, because with more selection it might become a regular stop for me. Just need more selection, don’t think that is asking too much.

DeviantArt’s Firefox Themes – One of my old favorite sites on the web didn’t let me down. There are tons of themes on DeviantArt, and I bet some of them you have not even seen before. Browse through them thumbnail by thumbnail. Yet another good resource to bookmark.
