Notice that if you make a text selection in Firefox and hit right-click, you’ll see a ‘Search for‘ option there. My browser uses Google as search engine so it says “Search Google for *insert selected text here*.”

The throbber is a little animated icon that notifies you whether a page is loading or has finished loading. Some people just find it annoying or even useless.

Trolls. Not the mythical creature or those dolls with fuzzy hair. Trolls. Those nasty hecklers who do nothing but annoy and launch asinine diatribes against bloggers, discussion board members, chatrooms, etc… If you’ve been around the Net for quite some time, you know who I’m talking about.

While as to my [...]

Yes, another post on dealing with tabs. I really think tabbed browsing is heaven-sent, but the default behaviors still need a bit of tweaking. Also, in the later incarnations of Firefox, it’s a good thing you can drag and drop around tabs to reorder them.
If you’re like me who group open tabs (e-mail tabs [...]
