Firefox Extension
Download of the Day: TooManyTabs
Ever since Firefox and I have patched up our rocky relationship, I've been looking at new ways to spruce up my favorite Internet browser. The FF add-on ColorfulTabs (I couldn't imagine my virtual world without it!) has added the perfect amount of oo la la to not only my browser, but my screen appearance in general. But I'm loving my latest add-on, TooManyTabs, because it provides you with an extra Firefox row, so you don't have to scroll through all your tabs to see them — making it much easier to find specific tabs!
Download of the Day: Buy Later
I feel like every holiday season, there's at least one gadget that everyone is trying to get their hands on — remember the instanity with the Wii?
If there's a certain product that you're waiting to come back into stock, but you don't want to have to keep searching Amazon every day to see if it's available, there's a download called Buy Later, which will come in handy.
After downloading this Firefox extension, Buy Later will add a button to Amazon.com webpages and monitors when specific products come back in stock.
Download of the Day: Gmail Manager
If you have multiple Gmail accounts, you probably need a little bit of assistance organizing them. Recently, Gmail Labs launched the mega-helpful multi-pane functionality; another great organization tool is the Firefox add-on Gmail Manager.
You can easily switch between your accounts, and can view unread messages, saved drafts, labels with new mail, and new mail snippets.
Download of the Day: TwitterFox
The faster I can update my social network statuses, the better, especially for the rapid-fire pace of Twitter. There's already a Firefox download for making Twitter updates from your address bar, but throw the word "fox" into it, and I'm a sucker (case in point).
TwitterFox works seamlessly from your Firefox browser window (and it's only for Firefox, if that wasn't obvious enough) to bring you the up-to-the-minute updates of your friends.
Use Social Whale to Quickly Shorten URLs
The uber helpful Tinyurl is great for sending shortened links to friends and posting on Twitter, but it sure does take a lot of steps to complete the task. First you have to copy the link, go to Tinyurl, paste, make your link tiny, then go back over to your Twitter page (or email draft, IM, whatever) and paste the shortened link. Sounds like a lot of steps, right?
Fire FM Download Combines the Power of Firefox and Last FM
Being able to trick out my browser is one of the reasons I love Firefox. Being able to trick Firefox out with music extensions makes me love it unconditionally.
First I added on FoxyTunes, which let me control iTunes directly from my browser window, and now there's Fire FM.
Use KwiClick to View Videos, Links, Maps In One Window
When it comes to browsing on the web, I like to think that I've conquered the quick multisearch method. That was, until I found out about KwiClick, a new Firefox extension that makes web searches. .
Geek Tip: Tweet From Your Firefox Address Bar
It may seem like overkill, but I have more than a few ways to access Twitter: signing in to Twitter online, using my iPhone, as well as signing in on my BlackBerry. But still, I'm always on the lookout for a faster and easier way to tweet. Sometimes, your tweet just can't wait.
Website of the Day: VideoSurf
Do you ever see something during a TV show that you wish you could easily find later? Or what about those times when your friends or co-workers are talking about that memorable Oscar moment when the camera cut to Brad and Angelina when Jen took to the stage? If you're ever on the hunt for a snip-it of a video clip, VideoSurf has got you covered.
Geek Tip: Send Links Without Page Jumping
Jumping pages wastes time. You know, like when you see a link you want to send to a pal, you have to copy the link, open a new tab, sign into your email, paste the link, etc. You jump from one page to another, hence page jumping.
