I had an interesting discussion today about Firefox with Mozilla's Mike Schroepfer and Mike Beltzner. One of the things we drilled into a bit was the address bar in Firefox 3 (download). It's being called the "awesome bar" at Mozilla, and while it will end up with an official name eventually (the "smart location bar"), what it does for users can fairly be described as awesome. And as it's probably the most important touchpoint in the browser, it's worth exploring not just what it means for users but for Mozilla as well. read more »

One of my colleagues just pointed me to this blog post where Simeon Bateman calls Mozilla an ungrateful child.

I started to post a reply there but it got a bit longer than what I think fits in "comments" format so I'm posting it here instead (though, this is still more in the "reply" format than the "post" format.)

Simeon's basic assertion is that Adobe is doing a lot to open up some parts of their next-g read more »

Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Firefox extension Next Tab adds an option to the right-click context menu to open a link in a new tab directly next to the current tab. If you're the sort who's still got 10 tabs open on a light day, you know how quickly your reading can get disorganized. Next Tab helps keep those tabs in context and next to the tabs from whence they were launched. Next Tab is free, works wherever Firefox does. read more »

Any task you perform on the Web can be automated by writing a script. But you don't have to know how to use Javascript or some other scripting language to create your own custom scripts. The Chickenfoot add-on for Firefox makes it easy for nonprogrammers to devise scripts that do their bidding. read more »

Woohoo! After my last post, and a few additional users, we now have over 500 unique favicons in the favicon collection. I think if we can push through 1000 favicons, we will have the largest favicon collection on the internet. read more »

Firefox with Greasemonkey: The comment threads here at Lifehacker can get lengthy, and when you want to reply to a certain point someone made 12 comments up, it's not as easy and readable as it could be. Sure you can hit the convenient Reply (arrow) button next to a comment to link back to it, but it would be better if you could quote the person you're replying to easily. Instead of doing the whole copy/paste/HTML markup dance by hand, install our brand new Quote in Reply Greasemonkey user script. With this script enabled, you can select tex read more »
