[MODIFIED] Mozilla Firefox – Misc – Ask Where to Save Downloaded Files

02 Sep

Stop saving all files downloaded by Mozilla Firefox in the same folder.

Depending on your Mozilla Firefox configuration, when you download files from the Internet they may automatically be placed in a “Downloads” folder.

However, you might find it more convenient for Firefox to ask where to save each downloaded file so that you can place music in one folder, programs in another, and photos in yet another folder. …

Problems with the current version of Mozilla Firefox? Consider downgrading to a previous release. Or, install multiple releases simultaneously to test web pages.

[MODIFIED] Mozilla Firefox – Misc – Display Text in the Toolbar for New Users

20 Aug

Make Mozilla Firefox even easier to use for newbies or those with lots of add-ons by labeling toolbar icons. This also displays dedicated “Reload” and “Stop” buttons.

Normally, Mozilla Firefox’s toolbar contains icons that do not contain labels. For example, the arrow pointing left goes to the previous page, and the house goes to the home page.

While these icons are recognizable to frequent web browser users, newbies may not know what each button does. Or, if you have a lot of add-ons installed that place buttons in the toolbar, it may prove difficult to remember what functionality is performed by clicking each button. Thus you can label each button with “Back”, “Forward”, “Home”, etc. This also gives you dedicated “Reload” and “Stop” buttons….

Mozilla Firefox – Misc – View More Details on Downloaded Files

20 May

FirefoxDownloadsView shows additional details about the most recent files downloaded from the Firefox web browser.

FirefoxDownloadsView is a Windows utility from NirSoft that displays additional information about the latest files downloaded via Mozilla Firefox. Details include (when available) each filename, original file and referrer URLs, full path to the download, MIME type, downloaded and total bytes, start / end / duration times, and an estimate of the average download speed (note that the latter may be influenced by hard drive speed, compression, and by your antivirus software scanning downloads).

As with other NirSoft tools, details can be saved to text, CSV, XML, or HTML files, or HTML reports may be generated from the results. Other features include right-click shortcuts to open the selected URL or filename and a “Find” feature in case you are wading through hundreds or more downloads. The software can be run via a batch file, for example to generate automated HTML reports….

Mozilla Firefox – Plugins and Extensions – Go Crazy Tweaking / Configuring Firefox

01 Feb

The “Configuration Mania” extension opens up the ability to configure many previously-hidden Firefox options via a GUI interface.

Are you the type of person that loves configuring and tweaking software, looking for hidden options that modify colors, adjust search result counts, alter timings, and disable unused features? If so, you probably know that in Mozilla Firefox typing about:config allows you to tweak advanced settings. But what if you prefer a GUI-based tool such as the TweakUI PowerToy that was available for previous versions of Windows?

Mozilla Firefox – Plugins and Extensions – Keep Other Windows from Covering Firefox

10 Dec

Keep a Firefox window on top of other windows with the “Always on Top” extension.

Do you keep a lot of other windows open while browsing the web such as a word processor, spreadsheet, or e-mail client? If so, these might cover up the Mozilla Firefox window, something you do not want if the browser is constantly reloading data such as a Twitter feed.

With the “Always on Top” extension you can force the Firefox window to stay visible above other windows. Plus, the extension is window-sensitive; if you have multiple Firefox windows open you can make one or two of them appear always on top of other windows, even other Firefox windows. …
