These guys need to at least win cheap web site plug of the year. Are you finding yourself too addicted to Firefox’s addons? The good Dr. Jenkins says he is here to help.
Digg’s image section is pretty cool - and is turning up more interesting topics than I thought it might. Here are some of the latest and greatest you get when searching for Firefox related photos and pictures.
Is it true? Nah - but you have to admit it is a pretty creative picture. (link via informationcommunication) You have to wonder though if it will happen one of these days.
Since today is Friday, I figured why not lay back - kick my feet up and just look for some really wacky and maybe even useless Firefox extensions for you to play with? Here’s what made the list for this round up of oddball extensions.
Secret Word Grabber - Inspired by the “secret word” off of Peewee’s Playhouse. Yeah, that’s enough of that one already. As long as it doesn’t expose itself to me we will be alright.
OfficePoltergeist - Turn your web browser into a web server… of terror!
Anti-Paranoia - No, this extension will not spy and destroy your personal data, remember: Everything is good! Don’t panic!
Firesomething - This extension will give Firefox an identity crisis by generating a new randomized browser name every time you open a new window. Who doesn’t want to use Firetoad?
RandomMessage - For those of us out there who really do like to be bugged with random messages with no real purpose behind them. Excellent tool for those people who want to look busier than they really are.
STOP! Hammertime! - You can never get enough MC Hammer. Yeah, I had the baggy pants when I was young and you know you did too.
Want to pick up one of the more famous Firefox images I have seen Online in icon form? You know the one with the mad Firefox chewing on the Internet Explorer logo? Well now you can.
