    Disable Firefox download window flashing

    If you (like me) are annoyed by the Firefox download window coming up and flashing on your taskbar each time you download a file here’s quick way to disable it: Go to about:config (like I shown here) find browser.download.manager.flashCount change it’s value to 0 done.   You may also want to make sure that browser.download.manager.focusWhenStarting is false.

    Resize any Firefox Window

    I sometimes come across a website that pops up a window with some video, chat or something, but its size is fixed, and it doesn't fit in it, when opened in Firefox. I used to move that tab to the main window, where I'm able to resize it, but I don't like doing that. I want to be able to resize that stubborn window in the first place, so I found a way to do just that. It only requires three simple steps: write about:config in your address bar, and hit enter find dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable double-click it in order to...

    About web browsers and Apple Safari for windows in particular

    Are you, dear reader one of those people who downloaded Apple Safari 3 beta for windows? I am, and for sure I will not switch to Safari. I am pretty happy with my current configuration. Primarily I use Firefox with lots of extensions, and I can't imagine not having it. It's basically first application I install on clear system. It may not be the fastest (actually for most sites it's the slowest of all browsers I use), it may eat up lots of RAM and processor cycles, but user experience blows all other browsers away. To make things clear. Bare Firefox,...

    Firefox Extensions I can't live without #2

    Well, maybe it's not the best title since I'm going to write not only about extensions I've been using for long long time, but new (for me) as well. Grab and Drag is one of the latter, I've been using it for only several hours and I simply loved it. It does basically what it's name says - enables you to scroll web pages how you would scroll PDF documents in Acrobat Reader. It doesn't block links, you can set hot key for temporary disabling this feature, you can make it switch between 'hand drag' and 'normal' mode after double click and...

    Firefox extensions I can't live without (part 1)

    One thing I LOVE about Firefox the most is tons of great extensions. I try to stay on top of things and once a while I dive into Mozilla's extensions repository to see if there have been some good additions. I test those that look promising, and during those few years since I started using Firefox I collected some that I can not imagine surfing without (alphabetic order). Adblock Plus - a must-have for everyone. With addition of Filters it's my first line of defense against ads. It enables you to filter links, adds, flash and ActiveX from websites using blacklists and...
