If you are a real hardcore Firefox user and a “tab junkie” as well, you might have noticed a problem when opening too many tabs. After you open say a dozen tabs the tab-bar becomes full and then a scrolling arrow appears at the right edge of the tab-bar which you have to click to scroll through the tab-bar in that case to reach the tabs at the far left or right of the tab-bar. This quickly becomes tiresome because you spent most of the time on scrolling through the tab-bar then just clicking ...

As we already know that by-default in Firefox, we have one buttons toolbar which is horizontally placed in the main interface. However, this toolbar can quickly get crowded if one tends to put a lot of buttons on it. This is particularly true if you are using the awesome Custom Buttons extension. If due to this problem, better organization or for some other reason you are in the mood to have vertical toolbar then look no further as we have an extension exactly for this purpose.Vertical Toolbar ...

We have already covered a simple way to launch Windows applications directly from Firefox with the click of a button. Furthermore, we covered an alternate approach to achieve the same objective but with much more flexibility but a bit more involved (so probably more suitable for advanced users). However, today we are going to cover a much simpler technique to launch/open the currently open webpage in a tab in Firefox in to another web browser of your choice, for example, Internet Explorer, Safari ...

Most people that are in the loop for the development status of the Firefox 4.0 know that Mozilla has made major changes to our beloved Internet browser, including both underlying and upfront GUI changes. While for the most part these changes are welcome, there are some GUI related choices that many users are not particularly happy about. Talk for example about the Panorama feature, Bing Orange Menu button at the top, removal of the statusbar and among some others. But today I am talking about an ...

YouTube is of course the de facto standard these days for viewing and downloading latest (and not so latest) videos covering a wide variety of topics ranging from fashion, entertainment, music to the gaming. However, some for these videos you might only be interested in the audio part of the file – this is true particularly say for the video lectures, for some guides and of course for the music that you might want to transfer to your iPod to listen on the go.

Clear Cache is very simple Firefox extension that after installation allows to quickly clear the cache of your browser by hitting the ...

Normally download (Opening) dialog in Firefox doesn’t show the file size. This is true even in the latest Firefox 4.0. I think it can be really convenient to know that file size that you are going to download before hand in many circumstances particularly if you are on a slow Internet connection then you might want to know the size before downloading. There is tiny extension only 1KB in size available in the Firefox extensions repository that solves this problem called DiB. You can get it here.

Statusbar in Firefox can be very useful to the users for a number of reasons for example, it shows the URL when you hover over a link and other status information when a website is loading. It can also show some other extension specific information(or buttons) if some extension is installed that makes use of the Firefox statusbar to show useful information. If you are annoyed by the fact that statusbar takes a lot of space at the bottom in the Firefox interface you can use the Status Bar: Compact ...

Now fast forward to this day and tabs based functionality is taken for granted in any modern browser. A web browser can’t even imagine to survive without a functional tab management system. Classic Opera is Firefox extension that brings many of classical Opera features particularly ...
