One of the tips is the combined address bar and loader, which I have previously mentioned.

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!

Something went wrong with my Firefox installation so I had to delete the old profile, create a new profile and edit "profiles.ini" — don't get me started.
I think I got Firefox back up and running now, even though I can't select what feed to view when I have a WordPress blog opened in Firefox. Only [...]

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, [...]

Today when I launched my Firefox I got a notification that there was an update available to my del.icio.us bookmarks extension.
Normally I never really get to see what has actually been updated in an extension — usually it's just a design or stability issue.
But this time the good folks at del.icio.us/Yahoo! have added a very [...]

I just came across ShiftSpace which is a cool way to mark up the web.
So far, ShiftSpace is a mere extension for the Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.
Read more about ShiftSpace and four similar upcoming services at TechCrunch (where else?)

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 [...]

According to XiTi, which is one of the companys often quoted on the spread of Firefox, Firefox' European market share is close to 25 percent.
Denmark is still far behind with only 13.8 percent of the population using Firefox – I wonder why that is?
