Speaking of Firefox, I just can’t wait for the release of Firefox 3. Unfortunately for me, it will still be a few months before I could get hold of the third major incarnation of my favorite browser. But since I trust that Mozilla is gunning for quality over a shippable (shit-able) format, I’m quite fine [...]

Now here’s one for a dose of retro. How about some Pacman on your Firefox? Yup, that’s right. You read it. Play Pacman on Firefox. with the Pacman add-on. It plays pretty much like your good old Pacman game. It’s pretty much straight up (complete with the retro sound effects) only you get to play [...]

One of the things that turn people off from Firefox is it’s tendency to be a resource hog. There are several ways to address this. One is not to max out Firefox – just keepin. Another way is to limit the number of add-ons activated at a given time. Or you can do these RAM [...]

Actually, listing images is a feature already included in the Web Developer toolbar. But for a non-web developer, the toolbar might just as well be a resource hog with all its features. If all you need is a list of the images on a web page (for educational, appreciation, or leeching purposes), here’s an add-on [...]

Way back, we featured this little about:config tweak to control image resizing in Firefox. This little tweak allows you to automatically shrink the image to fit the page. However, Firefox doesn’t allow full functionality over zooming in and out of an image, so here’s an add-on that would let you do just that. Image Zoom [...]

I haven’t really used an offline dictionary software for my wordsmithing duties. Since I’m online almost always, I just access my browser and use Google define: operator. In any case, it provides you with a whole lot of possible definitions from different contexts. If you’re an avid user of this Google feature, then you might [...]

A long while back, we featured VideoDownloader, an add-on that lets you save YouTube videos as FLV files. Now it was good for its function but it never did anything more than just that. Going back to the business of embedded videos, we figured it’s time to feature a newer video downloading add-on that does [...]

Since today’s Web is gearing toward standardization via Web standards and being a bit more humane with considerations for accessibility. If you’re a web developer/designer then validation is one of your true friends that help you “get things right.” However, while the W3C website offers a free validation service, it does have certain limitations like [...]

If you’re a blogger or reviewer, taking screencaps can be a real chore. That is, if you don’t invest on a good screen capturing software. Of the ones I’ve tried, Techsmith’s SnagIt is my favorite. However, you have to pay around $40 for it. Firing up Photoshop (or GIMP) can really slow you down too [...]

So here’s another one for the love of Firefox and Google services. As a die-hard Google user, my Bookmarks Toolbar is filled with a lot of links to Google services. Why not, right? There’s nothing better than just clicking my way to them rather than typing the URL in my address bar (never mind if [...]

If you’re a hardcore Google services, you still might be wanting a few things tweaked here and there. But hey, we get to use them for free so there’s really no point in whining and complaining. It’s a good thing we have our friendly neighborhood add-on makers and scripters to make our Googling just a [...]

Perhaps one thing that I don’t like about Firefox is the status bar. It just plainly shows you the page’s loading progress. It’s a good thing it has become one of the common places for your installed extensions to hang out. But for a power user like me, just showing the progress bar and notifying [...]

I’ve been a hands down Firefox fan and a loyal Google user. I’ve had this installed a while back and I just keep forgetting to post about it – CustomizeGoogle. It’s a must-have for any hardcore user of Google Search and other Google services. Well, since I am, I hardly could think about life without [...]

I have to admit that one of the things that kept me sane as a corporate monkey was Dilbert and the gang. I always wanted to go Dogbert in the office and go medieval on the Pointy-Haired Boss. Anyway, while you can probably find so many other sources for your doses of Dilbert online, here’s [...]

Yesterday I posted a quick tip on using MeeTimer, an add-on that counts time online spent on productivity (or otherwise). Now for just a bit more on productivity control, here’s an extension that you might consider installing together with MeeTime. LeechBlock is a Firefox extension that lets you block time leeching websites like you-know-what. What’s [...]
