How to Hide Firefox Tabs to protect your Privacy – Hide Tab Firefox Extension

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I am very particular about the privacy, especially when you are in at workplace. You are surfing some sites and you don’t want people to know what actually you are browsing? What do you do?

To avoid embarrassing situation, I either use Maxthon Browser to Hide the browser totally or use Rename Firefox Tabs – Firefox Extension. This way i am safe.

Few days back, I got to know about one more Firefox Extension – Hide Tab. As the name suggests, this Firefox Addon will allow you to Hide and Unhide any Firefox Tab of your choice.

Diego A. Ruiz is the developer of Hide Tab Firefox Extension.

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I think more than 50% of the world wide Firefox users might have updated to Firefox 3.5.

Immediately, after upgrading to Firefox 3.5, most of us might have see some of the Addons that we were using might not be compatible with Firefox 3.5.

What if you got accustomed to some addons which you want to use at any cost with Firefox 3.5? This is trick will help you to Make Firefox Addons compatible with Firefox 3.5 or higher. Once you apply this you don’t have to worry much about Mozilla’s updating of Firefox to the latest version fixing all the memory leaks, vulnerabilities and other security loopholes.

How to make Addons compatible to Firefox 3.5 or higher?

The solution is to add some configurations in Firefox settings (which is similar to Windows Registry). All the changes you make from here on are done at your own risk. Do revert the settings if something goes wrong.

  1. Type about:config address bar of Firefox browser and hit enter. It will give you a warning. Just click the button “I’ll be careful, I promise!” and proceed…

  2. It will show a huge list of values. Now, right click any where in the free white-space on the screen and click on New –> Boolean, then name the Boolean as checkCompatibility – make it false in the next step.
  3. again right click and click on New -> Boolean and name as checkUpdateSecurity and choose false.
  4. After doing this changes to get the changes applied, Restart the Firefox browser. Now install the addon that was not supported or compatible by Firefox 3.5 and install it.
  5. Restart the Firefox browser once again. Now, the not compatible addon will work with Firefox 3.4 :)

In this today’s World of Web. There are lots of Social Networking Sites to get in touch with the friends.

What if you find your dear friend on one of the Social Networking sites and if you want to find what other Social networking sites he/she is using?

Identify is a Firefox extension that can quickly analyze a contact’s user name and can find out the on which other social services he/she is using.

Find Friends Online – Identity Firefox Extension

For instance, if I were to use it on XYZ’s Twitter profile it would be able to tell me what other services he’s using, like FriendFeed, Facebook, Last.fm, and more. The same thing would happen if I checked from his profile on one of those other sites, too.

This extension uses two tools to get the job done: Yahoo Query Language and Google’s Social Graph API. Creator Madgex has use the two tools together to quickly figure out where the profiles are and provide links directly to them.

Add search history to Firefox’s search feature – FindList

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

I use search tool very much. It can be any application. I also use search to quickly navigate to a particular place in a website. If a website has lot of text and links and i am sure what i am looking for. I press “CTRL + F”.

I think most of the tech savvy guys use firefox search feature. One thing that i don’t like about it, it can only remember one word or phrase at a time. What if you visit some sites and daily look for some search terms? It is difficult to always type in the words?

Well, the good news is i have found a Firefox Extension called FindList!

This add-on saves the search history and gives a drop down history list when searching a word or phrase that was already searched.

With it installed you can have up to 15 of your latest searches saved for later use and quick selection. Every time you do an on-page search it simply saves that word or phrase in its history even after you start searching for something else. Neat.
