firebird extras
In honor of Zuly switching to Firebird, here’s a few links to addons that I like a lot for my browser of choice! (I’m currently on 0.6, build 6-7) I’m guessing I’ve talked about most of this stuff before, but I’ll do it again 
- Tabbrowser Extensions: adds a lot of additional functions for your tabbed browsing... I particularly like that it opens links with target="_blank" in new tabs instead of new windows. And it color codes tabs that are opened from other tabs. If you only add one thing on to your browser, this should be it.
- All-in-one Gestures: lets you use mouse strokes to control browser activities. This is particularly nice for me with my tablet. I use it a lot for back and forward.
- Web Developer and PNH Toolbar: adds developer options - easy ways to outline elements, view source, do page tests. Great addition to my favorite bookmarklets - some links to them below:
- Jesse’s bookmarklets: The ultimate bookmarklet site, IMO.I use the web dev ones the most; test styles is my best friend ;)
- bookmarklets - browser power: variety of great stuff
- Accessify’s favelets: favelets tend to be more IE-friendly than the bookmarklet sites, but still some great stuff here.
- Ruler Favelet [update to 1.2]: lets you drag to figure the width/height of a block.
- Liorean’s bookmarklets: a few more complex ones, like ViewStyles.
- web-graphics has a ton-a-links in the bottom of the sidebar on the right hand side.
- An array of other extensions that I use on a daily basis... Mycroft (which has a whole array of search functions that can be added), text links (wonderful for the MT forums when people don’t use the URL button to make their link to their site), trivial (a bunch of addons that are helpful), and more.
- My favorite theme: Breeze. There are more themes for Moz/FB than any other browser I’ve seen.
Comments
Another good Mozilla Firebird plugin is the DOM Inspector (http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=3216) - it’s the same thing that comes default with Mozilla (I’ve had a few random crashes with it, but overall it seems rather stable). It’s helped me out a ton while I was helping M work on her new skin.

Thanks for the Tabbrowser link. Just what I was looking for.

The tabbrowser extension is the bestest thing to happen to a browser!
...and I thought Mozilla was awesome for having it! The new one blows it away!

Thanks for all of those, K! You’re the bestest bestest!! I’m getting the hang of Firebird. The tabbed extension makes it easier, that’s for sure. I’ll be looking into the other stuff soon, too.
