I did a post on Firefox extensions for an Information Whore some time back and it was that phase when I used to spend over five hours daily reading RSS feeds of various websites. Things have improved a little but my latest obsession is now Twitter and I end up spending the whole day reading tweets of others and posting some of my own chirps.
I have used almost every Twitter plugin made for Mozilla Firefox and I have now come to a conclusion about certain Firefox extensions which I’d suggest to anyone who does a lot of tweeting. I don’t think there’s need of too many extensions to do something as simple as tweeting and I never recommend loading your Firefox with unnecessary plugins as it impacts the responsiveness of Firefox.

One of my first post on JustSkins was about Firefox themes and I have continuously showed my love for Firefox in my other posts. I like to try new and different Firefox themes and extensions and it is pretty obvious that I need to restart my Firefox multiple times to do that. I’d really love if Firefox adds a Restart button just like an Operating System. The topic of this post is however regarding the themes and the different ways users try to customize the look of Mozilla Firefox.
I’d use some themes like Camifox or NASA Night Launch but eventually came back to the default one plus the effort of installing new themes again and again was too much. Moreover I felt slight less responsiveness on the part of Firefox for having too many themes installed even when I was only using the default one.

Weboholics are strange people, they will talk about anything on web and they need tools to find themselves more topics to engage themselves in. One of the topic of discussion amongst the JustSkins folks is determining the DNA of websites, like what CMS or softwares they are using. There are already some tools available on web but we personally I like to use browser extensions rather than the full fledged applications.

One of the reason why we waste so much of our time when all we gave to do is mere status update on web is the human’s curiosity to know. You open Facebook to just tell about the last movie you watched but end up wasting an hour stalking what other people are doing and who is now linked to whom. I have been through such circumstances multiple times before and I thought the best way to save the time is to not visit sites like Twitter, Facebook at all.

There’s a new Firefox theme which has impressed us a lot and inspite of the fact that it is still an experimental theme, we still think it is one of the best looking Firefox theme ever made. The theme is called Daum Blue and it has been created by a South Korean internet portal called Daum and hence the name of the theme.
It’s a nice sky blue color theme which has better toolbar divisions than the deafult theme. I did a post on some Firefox 3 themes some time back and I think I need to update that post since lot of new themes have been introduced. One thiing is however sure that Daum Firefox 3 theme will certaibly make it to the list.

Mozilla has just released an update of its very potential firefox-addon called Ubiquity. I have praised Ubiquity in many of my earlier posts and it is the first add-on I recommend to anyone who uses Firefox. I am taking the risk of being tagged as Ubiquity freak because I have endorsed it like hell in spite of the fact that I have never been paid a single penny by Ubiquity folks. The Ubiquity 0.1.3 comes with many improvements which makes it lot more tempting.

The times are not what they used to be in the browser world and recent developments like launch of Google Chrome in particular has definitely hasten up things a little. Mozilla Firefox is also doing what ever it can to make browsing more IE-free and it has also challenges in the formof continuing to deliver on the expectations of users. Firefox recently announced that they are putting an end to support Firefox 2.0 which I believe is a good thing because the latest Firefox 3.0 is more safe and arguably faster. All eyes are on the final release of Firefox 3.1 now which will have some significant changes in the form of incorporation of Tracemonkey which will speed up programs written in JavaScript.
I believe that continuing browser wars will bring some awareness to the general web users and they’ll give up their Internet Explorers in favor of Mozilla Firefox or even Google Chrome. I also believe that more and more people will switch to Mozilla Firefox in coming years. This post is meant to help those users who want to make the change.
Firefox is a fast web browser but if you want to push its limits a little bit in order to gain an extra edge in its speed then you can do certain tweaks that I have mentioned in one of my post on JustSkins.
