What the Scrollbar Anywhere extension does, is that it enables you to scroll a page simply by holding down your right mouse button.
Just press the right mouse button and and keep it down while you [...]

BlogRovR is a service where to add all your favorite blogs. You can select packages and you can add other blogs you read — or both at the same time.
When you're done doing [...]

One of the few things I like about the Mac browser Safari is the combined address bar and loader. But now you don't have to have Firefox Safari to get that feature.
Just use the Fission extension, which I'm using right now — yes, it works with Flock (0.9 Beta) as well!

I've been more than annoyed at the Snap Firefox extension that provides surfers with preview of the site, that the link they've placed their cursor on is pointing to. But Snap is just, to be honest, a pain in the butt and to intrusive on my surfing.
But via Geekzone I've come across Interclue.
To be honest, [...]

Microsoft meets open source

To allow better playback of Windows Media Files Microsoft is now issuing a Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox.
This is my first time installing anything Microsoft into my Firefox and for simply that reason I actually looked at the End User License Agreement, EULA. Here's a snippet of what happens, when Microsoft issues a plugin [...]

Track your conversations

Aaah, the weekend is upon me :)
Inspired by what's currently happening at Rene's blog I've also chosen to integrate coComment into my blog.
coComment is basically a tool you can use to track the various conversations you've got going on a various blogs around the web.
Cool! No more subscribing to comment feeds from blogs where I [...]

I have previously written about Microsummaries a feature introduced in Firefox 2.0.
I've been hoping that online bookmarking service del.icio.us would support Microsummaries, and now they do.
Or at least in a del.icio.us extension for Firefox. I have written about this extension in a post entitled "THE Firefox extension at the moment: Firefox and del.icio.us unite!".
When [...]

Copy a link as a link

Via Firefox Extension Guru I found this cool Firefox plugin: CoLT.
Now I can right click a link and have it copied to my clipboard as an HTML link. Sweet Jesus, how I've missed this feature!
However… it would be nice, if the extension had a "copy as HTML link with target="_blank"" feature :-)
