It was a sad day last Friday when I uninstalled Firefox from our terminal servers. At the same time, I upgraded from Internet Explorer 6 to IE 7, which fortunately has most of the spiffy features that we’ve all grown to love about Firefox (especially tabbed browsing).
I had previously been happy to give students the choice of browsers and had even set the default to Firefox, since so many students and staff had adopted the IE alternative (often at my urging). However, our business applications teacher brought a significant problem with Firefox to my attention. Read More»

Firefox is a great browser which allows almost anyone with minimal coding experience to create plugins and addons to make Firefox even better.
However, sometimes letting someone with basic coding skills near your browser isn’t a good thing, and adding certain firefox addons can actually make the greatest browser worse.
Luckily Computer World have named and shamed some of the worst extensions, Read More»

Today as i was praying to make 100$ until the end of the month as i currently make a lame 60-67$/month something struck me, i work every day searching for new articles, thinking of new How Tos to make and while i do this i use lots of Firefox extensions that make my work last half of its normal time.
I cant imagine my internet life without these useful extensions, and all of you probably have a set of addons that you install as soon as you reinstall Microsoft Windows. Here are my personal favorites. Read More»

This How To is made for those that refresh pages very often and look for ways to improve their efficiency. It’s a small trick. Ok, there are 3 ways to refresh a page in firefox efficiently:
1. Pressing F5, this is simple and fast way, requires your finger to press a key.
2. The RAW refresh is the second most efficient way, it’s used when you want to refresh a page that loads from the cache some images instead of contacting the server. Therefore even you have a new picture on a page you’ll still see the old picture. To RAW refresh press CTRL+R.
3. The third method is to push the refresh button which is located through the toolbar’s other extensions and buttons. Read More»

Jason Its a fact, some people are still using Fire Fox. If you are one of those people that use FireFox, here is a fix for Windows Media Player movies and songs not playing. Download these dll files and unzip them. Then place them in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins

Jason Want to be cooler than your coworkers? We’d say the key is tricking out Firefox with envy-inspiring extensions—add-ons that tweak existing features or add new ones. Clever coders have churned out over a thousand of these handy little helpers, all of which are just as free to download as Firefox itself
An extension can be as simple as Auto Copy, which instantly copies selected text to the clipboard (not that hitting Ctrl-C takes so much time); as profound as UndoCloseTab, which reopens tabs you closed, saving a history until you exit Firefox (how cool is that?); or as specific as Book Burro, a pop-up window that automatically fetches prices from other stores when you shop online for books.

If you like Firefox then you are just going to wet yourself with pleasure with this new Add-On. It is called Tab Effect but that tells you nothing. In fact what it does is animate open tabs, so when you click to change to another tabbed window the display turns into a 3D cube that rotates to show you the selected tab. It is brilliant and a major time-waster, if like me, you end up constantly switching tabs just to watch it doing its stuff. The download is tiny, just 38kb, simply click on the Install Now button and it does the rest, you will have to restart Firefox to get it working. If for any reason you dont like it, or you experience problems simply go to Add-Ons on the Tools menu and click the Uninstall button. Try it now, you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
