Make Firefox a nice browsing experience
- Get a Safari-like skin from Arannox: GrApple
- Install the most important Plugin: All-in-One Gesture
- Block ad's with the Adblock Plus Plugin and install also the Filterset updater
- Use Fizzle to keep track of your RSS Feeds (it is not really as comfortable as Safari, but it is way better than the original RSS treatment.)
- Install the Autocomplete Manager to access your Bookmarks easier (and don't forget to configure it the right way!)
Intelligent Bookmarks
Last but not least, use Firefox's clever Bookmark system for easy website access:
- Open the bookmark manager
- Select the properties of a bookmark
- Name: slashdot
Address: http://slashdot.org/
Keyword: sd - Name: wikipedia
Address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s
Keyword: w - Name: fizzle
Address: chrome://fizzle/content/fizzle.xul
Keyword: f
This enables you to type "sd" in the address bar, hit enter, and slashdot.org pops up. To access Wikipedia, you can type "w firefox", and you get the Firefox article of wikipedia "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox". To check your RSS feeds, type "f" and fizzle opens.
Update: see post firefox autocomplete for more precise information!
