October 7th, 2008 · No Comments

The official Firefox 3-compatible release for Tab Mix Plus is out. There are a number of improvements over the previous version, but the important thing is that it’s finally official. I hacked together a version a couple months back, and while I’m glad I was able to help, I’m even more glad that a true [...]

Firefox with Greasemonkey: If you’ve ever searched for your website content on Google (and chances are you have), you’ll agree with me that it can be difficult to find your material amongst the results.

Along the same lines of the recently reconditioned Tab Mix Plus add-on, I noticed that I was missing the FasterFox add-on after installing Firefox 3. I modified the FasterFox add-on to work with Firefox 3.0.1 and have uploaded it here for your enjoyment. As far as I can tell, it works just fine. [...]

Tab Mix Plus Add-On for Firefox 3.0.1

July 16th, 2008 · 9 Comments

Firefox version 3.0.1 was released today, and it subsequently broke the dev build of Tab Mix Plus that I was using. For some reason, the developer of TMP has not released a version that’s compatible with Firefox 3. At any rate, I’ve taken the liberty of modifying the add-on that worked with Firefox [...]

Update: The copy of the add-on in the official Firefox repositories now works with 3.0.
One of my favorite plugins to use with Firefox/Twitter is the TinyURL add-on. However, the add-on isn’t yet FF3 friendly. Somone has taken the liberty to make it so. You can download the file here. Simply save the .xpi file [...]
