How is that for a Firefox add-on name? Alright, truth be told I might have added a little to it. The toolbar’s name is really just the Ultimate MySpace Toolbar. I think my name has a little more flare though. This MySpace toolbar offers a lot of nice features including:
Easily navigate MySpace from anywhere on the web
Stay connected to MySpace.com with persistent login
Receive notifications with updating messages
Clean up messy profile pages with the “Simplify” button
Make your profile look good [...]
Firefox works fine, but then the worst might happen (even to you!). Something goes wonky and Firefox goes from a browsing tool to an annoyance. So how exactly do you troubleshoot an issue with Firefox?
For most people, I would suggest trying to run Firefox in Safe Mode first. You can use the command line: firefox -safe-mode to get there (for Windows users).
On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run (for Firefox): /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
On Mac OS X, go [...]
Sure there are tools, downloads and services that may do this for you, but what fun is that? Just in case you don’t feel the need to download another addition to the browser just yet – here is how you can backup your Firefox saved passwords the manual way.
First, navigate yourself to your profiles folder and then you want to copy three files, they are named:
signons.txt
signons2.txt
key3.db
Copy and past them into the place you want to back them up to, and [...]
In a cage match to the death, who would win between the best of the MySpace user scripts versus the Facebook user scripts? Load up Firefox, install Greasemonkey – and give some of these handy addons a try. I use both MySpace and Facebook so hard for me to decide. How about you?
In this corner… MySpace!
Birthdays on Homepage – Get birthday updates on all your buddies!
MSPLinks Translator – Change those MySpace links back into regular ones!

I know of several people out there that have multiple profiles for the same web site. For example, if Tom wanted to be able to have two different e-mail accounts at Gmail instead of one. Before you would have to use multiple browsers or do the logout and login dance to check them both. CookiePie looks to allow you to manage multiple cookies in one browser window.
The CookiePie extension enables you to maintain different cookies storage [...]
The fox a little slow you say? Well instead of reinstalling Firefox, you could start up a new profile to speed things up. Yes, that old buddy of ours, the profile manager is still buried inside of Firefox. Once upon a time it was suppose to be used to manage multiple users – now it is tucked away.
I Windows all you need to do is go to Start, Run and then:
Type firefox.exe – P in the Run [...]
Now when it comes to MySpace, general navigation is usually thrown out the window. Well, that is before you see the huge “I want to be a gangster” images and bouncing hearts all over the place.
If you want to gain some control back when it comes to viewing MySpace profiles (and you have Greasemonkey) I would suggest picking up the MySpaceHax user script.
This allows you to have a neat menu on the right over every [...]
Working Online without distractions might sound easier that it is. I am about to start a new job next week, and I know I am probably going to be a little distracted with other things going on. So what is the solution? Create a new profile in Firefox that is only used for work.
What you can do is create a separate profile just for work. Here is the list of some advantages:
+ No [...]
When you reformat your computer or getting a new one, you always have to go through the process of getting Firefox back to the way you like it. Did you know, you could save yourself a lot of trouble if you would just make a copy of your Firefox profile? After making a copy, you can plug it into the new Firefox install and get back to browsing.
This morning, Mark submitted a link that would help you do [...]
