Firefox Add-on of the Week: Smart Bookmarks Bar

August 7, 2010 in Firefox | No comments

Smart Bookmarks Bar

Smart Bookmarks Bar

Smart Bookmarks Bar is one of my favorite add-ons to Firefox, and the lack of it in Google Chrome is one of the reasons that I have hard to like that browser.

This add-on hides your bookmarks’ names on your bookmarks bar, and shows only the favicons. You can also choose to show an bookmark’s name when you hover over its icon.

This is really useful and makes it possible for you to have dozens of more bookmarks on your bookmarks toolbar. I have almost 30 bookmarks on my bar (after some cleaning) and I can’t imagine how it would be without this smart add-on. You should definitely check it out!

Enable autoscrolling in Firefox 4

August 7, 2010 in Applications, Firefox | No comments

Since I updated Firefox to version 4 beta, has the autoscrolling function stopped to work. The autoscrolling function is the circle that pops up when you click with the scroll wheel on a page, that let you navigate on the website by just moving around the mouse. (Sorry, but I can’t describe it any better, you have to try it out by yourself.) I thought that it was a bug, because it had always worked before. But after some googeling I found out that it’s setting in Firefox.

You can activate autoscrolling by doing these steps:

  1. Press the Firefox-button in top left corner. (Firefox 4 thing)
  2. Press Options… on the menu.
  3. A new window will opens, click on the Advance tab.
  4. Make sure the General tab is selected and now you can activate autoscrolling under Browsing.
  5. Press OK. Finished!

Firefox Add-on of the Week: Fission

March 28, 2010 in Applications, Firefox | No comments

Fission

Fission

With Fission you can add extra functionality to your address bar in Firefox. You can either transform the address field to a progress bar and show the progress behind the address, or you can add a progress bar to the right of the address.

It is also possible to show connection status at the right of the address bar, which tells you what currently is loading on the website, like if you are watching a streamed video.

I recommend this add-on because it adds extra functionality( to your already awesome web browser), and it looks really good.

Link to the add-on:
