A really quickie quick tip here. Probably it’s me just playing catch-up to all those great Firefox extensions that we’ve failed to feature just before Mozilla unleashes version 3 of our favorite browser.
Basic functionality with this one and quite sadly a unitasker. But what a useful unitasker this is. Ever had to restart Firefox? […]

Let’s all sing that Avenue Q song, “The Internet is for P*rn.” (Self-censorship sucks. But I have to. Lest we incur Google’s wrath once again.)
Now, I’m sure that for some of you out there, you just can’t resist surfing for the “good stuff.” But if you’re using the family computer, then you must […]

I’m getting pretty bored waiting for Firefox 3, let’s just revisit a few tip and tricks that you can do with Firefox as it is now. While I have been a staunch advocate of keyboard ninjitsu with all the shortcuts, I have to admit that there are instances that I do some mousings too. […]

Tired of nosy people looking over your shoulder to see what the heck you’re surfing. Well, if you only have Google or some other productive site on your browser, then no problem. Still, you might want to get a bit of privacy and the page title immediately gives you away.

One thing I do have to concede to with regard to my favorite browser is a memory hog. Limiting Firefox’s RAM usage is one of the stopgap measures that you can do but because of some latent problems, it will still inevitable leak memory. Firefox 3 promises to leak less memory but Firefox engineers […]

Firefox brought us perhaps the real best thing since sliced bread - tabbed browsing. Now why the heck should you hide the precious thing? I’d have to admit that I used to think that I’d rather not browse the web at all if I have to go back to the days of IE6 and […]

And each day we get closer to the new Firefox and what we have now is Beta 1 of Firefox 3. As with any Beta, expect bugs and what not. But the beauty about fiddling around with the Beta is that you get the feel of things to come - pretty handy if you’re […]

As a researcher, listing sources for the bibliography can really be a chore especially when you have to document a whole lot of website URLs. Tabbed browsing was really heaven sent but one should still have a system to easily document these. One trick I do is to print the pages as PDF so […]

If you’re a web developer doing studies and observing page sources of websites then you know how hard it is to read through sloppy coding. While I am a stickler for organizing code with a system of indentations, I could lapse once or twice too especially if there are just too many lines to […]

Don’t worry, it happens even to best of us - you’re surfing and you’ve found a really good site but before you’ve hit Ctrl + D (the bookmarking shortcut), you accidentally press Ctrl + W (close tab shortcut) or some other command that closes the darned tab. Okay, so maybe it’s just me. Nah… […]

Okay, for those of you who are quite new to Firefox, one of the quickest way to access tabs is to drop the mouse and practice some keyboard ninjitsu. A combination of Ctrl + 1 to 9 allows you to access tabs with the first tab designated as 1 and the last one […]

When doing web designs, it’s quite important that you come up with studies. One way to look for new ideas is to study existing designs and observe how well it plays around with design elements. Months ago, we featured ColorJack, a nifty tool to get some really good color palettes for your design. What’s […]

Just got my Firefox updated to 2.0.08. No better notification than that right? Just a message saying that the updates are out and you’re good to go.
Now it isn’t really that long until we finally see 3.0b but I just can’t wait for it. These releases (2.0.0.8) are security updates to the browser. According […]

I just can’t wait for Firefox 3! Trying to pick some add-on stragglers that I haven’t featured here yet and still finding a few courtesy of my other favorite Firefox sites.
If you’re just like most of us who keep tabs permanently open (I keep my two Gmail tabs and Google Reader), then PermaTabs should […]
