Firefox Extension I like, I install

I once posted some useful Firefox extension which I liked so that I installed in my browser. Since then more and more good extensions I came across are being added. The list are out of date now. And I've noticed I don't really like some that I mentioned back then. They are Googlepedia , Fasterfox and Performancing . In fact that three extensions are quite good and most of the folks find them useful. Fasterfox is still top of the three the most download extension. As for me I no longer need them. As my Firefox browser is quite fast already. I seldom find the same search in both Google and Wikipedia. I prefer Writely and Wridea over Performancing for blogging purpose.

I think It's time to update them. It's also a good idea to have them collected together on line so that I don't need to worry the lost of extension due to the browser accidentally uninstalled. Now I have a back up of them in my blog! If you haven't installed Firefox yet, and you want to download it, please click the button "Get Firefox with Google Toolbar for better browsing" on the side bar lower right corner. Trust me it's really far more better than Internet Explorer. And downloading it this way helps support this blog. Thank you.

Mozilla Firefox connected with Microsoft IE7 ?

WTF, it's so funny. If you go to www.ie7.com you will get to a site that the whole page is covered with one huge Firefox icon and when you click on it, you will be redirected to Firefox download page!

Found via Netscape

Don't let Firefox open PDF file

Opening PDF file can sometime make your browser crash. It is irritating you know, especially when you have been tabbed browsing in Firefox. That is a big file, so why not download it to temp folder and open it with external PDF Reader. And my opinion is PDF file are best viewed in PDF reader.

Instructions;

1. Go to the “Tools -> Options” menu
2. Select the “Downloads” tab
3. Open “View and Edit Actions…”
4. Enter “pdf” in the “Search” box
5. Select “Change Action…”
6. Change the selection from “Use this Plugin” to “Open them with the default application”, which should point to Adobe Acrobat Reader, or here is showing my favorite Foxit Reader

Better Search in Firefox

Look my little blog is popping up on Google and del.icio.us. Click on them for the larger view.

When we type certain keywords in search engine like Google, we get thousands of links to look up. It's a pain following each link and click a go back button again and again to take a new search because you are not satisfied with that page. Why not search them on that very page, on Google, like most feed readers do, instead of opening links in a new window or tab. If your are using a Firefox browser, half of your problem is solved already. For the another half go and get an extension called BetterSearch. After installing it and restarting your browser, just click the quick preview icon next to the search result. Now your are able to see the desired site, in the same page you are searching. Don't forget that this icon and it's use are only for the search engine. It works on most of the popular search sites. You will find the list in the extension options under Tools menu.

There are some cool features as well, for example, the screenshot (thumbnails) of the link you're likely to see, site info and archive link. And they are flexible enough that you always have an option to enable and disable them at whatever time you feel like.

Add Google IG to Firefox browser sidebar.

The idea is to load Google Personalized Homepage to firefox browser side bar so that we can replace Google Desktop Sidebar. No installation process, no browser hack, so easy that it seems as simple as abc! Erica Joy's blog reveal how to do it. Pageflakes and Netvibes should do the same work as Google, though I haven't tested yet.

World Cup, Google and Wikipedia

If you are a football crazy like me, a great match, World Cup is ahead of us to enjoy day to day event, taking place in Germany. And if you also are like me always hooked up on pc screen no matter what is happening outside World. You may find it difficult whether to sit in front of a pc or go out to watch one of your favourite match. Firefox extension footiefox has a solution to some extent for those of you who refuse to go out to enjoy a match and at the same time want to know the match instant result. It pretty good extension indeed. You can check it out kick-off time from first day to final, live score for every match and every group status, without switching page from what you read right now. It's within your browser and just one right click on status bar!

Sometimes when I google about a word, I want to know what would be it's definition in Wikipedia as well. So I need to type in again wiki's box. Why not in the same page, I've wondered? Now all my desire is fullfilled thanks to a great googlepedia.
