Loading ...Today Facebook unveiled its new chat service and as you may suspect it is pretty simple to load it in your Firefox sidebar to have it always on hand.
Select, right-click, copy, switch, right-click paste. Rinse. This is the typical copy/paste procedure we all repeat several times a day and one worth looking for ways to make it more efficient.
Here are a few ways Firefox users can enhance good old copy/paste.
A common complaint about Firefox 3’s location bar is that the autocomplete menu is too long because of the big font sizes, that the page title grabs too much attention compared to the address or that the address is too difficult to read.
While the new location bar is currently voted the favorite Firefox 3 feature with about 37% of 1,695 votes cast so far, it seems from comments to my recent Firefox 3 Beta 3 review, that a significant number of users are less than happy with it.
Here’s another way to download a file.

Firefox 2 introduced a new feature called session restore that allows it to automatically restore tabs and windows you had opened when you start Firefox after a crash or any kind of abnormal exit.

Not all Firefox themes and extensions available on the web are properly served by the server so they are easy to add. Sometimes they are offered as regular .XPI (extensions) or .JAR (themes) files.
To install these, you need to either drag the file to the Add-ons Manager (Tools menu, Add-ons) or select File/Open File… and browse for the file.
When you open a new tab (File/New tab, or Ctrl + T) you get a blank tab.
If blank is too much for you, try adding some color and style to the blank page.
While working on the Safari vs. Firefox story, I found an option in Safari to set the minimum font size for web pages. I checked Firefox’s option to see if this was possible and fortunately I found that yes. It is very simple to set and I think it is a great accessibility option for people with vision problems.
