Power Up Your Firefox Tabs the Lightweight Way
Tabberwocky is everything you might want in a Tab Manager for Firefox. From locking tabs to allowing multiple rows of tabs, this thing does it all. And at 25K, it’s considerably smaller than Tab Mix Plus (~400K). For you keyboard commando’s, there are shortcuts for nearly everything.
Prevent Pages from Automatically Refreshing
Hate those pages that automatically refresh every couple of minutes? We do too. If you are using IE, just head to Tools –> Options, go to the Security tab, click Custom Level, then find Allow META REFRESH and disable it.
Want the same thing in Firefox? Lifehacker has the answer: head into about:config and change accessibility.blockautorefresh to true.
Save Firefox Bookmark Searches to Make Dynamic Folders
Ever wanted a customized folder on your Firefox Bookmarks bar that just shows whatever bookmarks that match your search terms?
Open up the bookmark organizer (Ctrl+Shift+B), do a search through your bookmarks, click Save, give it a name, and then drag the new search bar (at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu) over to the Bookmarks bar (or wherever else you want it).

Generate Automatic FavIcons for Sites that Don’t Have One
Got lots of sites that don’t have favicons? You can install a Firefox extension that automatically generates an icon for a site based on the IP address of said website. It’s silly and kinda pointless, but it makes the web a prettier place, so how can we argue with it?
TrackMeNot for Firefox keeps search engines from ‘data profiling’ you
The TrackMeNot extension for Firefox 3.5 offers an additional layer of privacy for the surfer. By periodically sending random search queries, TrackMeNot increases the difficulty of search data indentifying individual users. Another great tool to protect your online identity.
Use TACO in Firefox to stop advertising networks in their tracks
TACO sets opt-out cookies to minimize the chances of you being tracked all over the web. It’s really that simple. Installing this extension will not slow you down or inhibit surfing in any way. We use it and highly recommend it.
Browse the Web With Your Number Pad
Ever get tired of clicking? Are you an ubergeek? If so, you should check out the latest version of the Mouseless Browsing extension, which lets you easily browse using just the keyboard. This update makes it work in Gmail, which was the reason I wasn’t using it before.
Easily Post to WordPress via Firefox
In the quest to more easily post for this blog, I’ve come across WordPress Post, a simple little extension that lets you automate posting content to your blog.
Personally I won’t use it, since I can’t add images, but it’s pretty cool otherwise.
