What is the Mozilla Sandbox?

  • 8 Apr, 2007

With the recent upgrade to the Mozilla Addon’s site, there is now a sandbox. What’s a sandbox you ask? Well it’s where all new addons go before they go live to the public. The great thing about the sandbox is that once you are in, you can view and install any theme or extension that […]

HalloFF Rises From The Dead

  • 26 Mar, 2007

Yes, it’s been a while, but HalloFF has arrived for Firefox 2. I was presently surprised this morning to see that HalloFF has been approved and made live on the Mozilla Addon’s site. I hadn’t gotten notification so I’m not sure when it went live. None the less, HalloFF fans rejoice! HalloFF is my MidnightFox […]

I Installed A Firefox Theme, Now What?

  • 25 Mar, 2007

I’ve been getting quite a few messages about how to get a theme to activate. I think that Mozilla has a usability issue as once a theme is installed, nothing happens. This tends to confuse quite a few people who are new to themes. So I thought I’d put together a quick ‘Now What?’ post. […]

New Mozilla Addons Site is [not] [is] Live

  • 22 Mar, 2007

The new Mozilla Addon site is live! Lets hope it stays that way. 🙂 The approval area for new extensions and themes however is not online just yet. Lets hope that happens soon. [update] : Another failed attempt. It sounds like they are getting closer, but the new Addon site has been postponed once again. […]

April the Month of Firefox Themes?

  • 21 Mar, 2007

I was all excited at the beginning of the March because I had all sorts of theme updates and releases to put out along with a ‘secret’ project. Well here it is, the end of March and only a few updates have made it though. The big ones have yet to see the light of […]

New Mozilla Addon Site Coming

  • 13 Mar, 2007

The new Mozilla Addon site is just around the corner. It’s had a few issues getting off the ground, but everything should be live by Friday. I’m not quite sure what all the new features are. Taking a look at it, it doesn’t seem that much different. There is a sandbox area on the developer […]

Protect Your Firefox With A Master Password.

  • 6 Mar, 2007

Firefox has the ability to save usernames and passwords for easy access later. It’s a handy little feature but it does pose a possible problem. If someone else were to use your computer, or steal your profile folder, they’d be able to access all your accounts. That’s a bit scary. However, you can set a […]

iPox Mini Update

  • 4 Mar, 2007

iPox 1.3 has landed and this version includes a few extension fixes and it adds in the ability to bring the old throbber back. Fission support was requested and I looked into it. It turns out that Fission doesn’t work well with a rounded toolbar. I played with it and added in support as much […]

  • 3 Mar, 2007

MidnightFox 0.65 is out and it fixes a black on black issue when tying to bookmark a page.  It also adds a custom Sage button and New Tab Button on Tab Bar extension support. Enjoy!

PinkHope Updates

  • 1 Mar, 2007

In the first theme update of the month, PinkHope now supports a pink progress bar. Really, I should have caught that in the beginning. 🙂 It also gets a bit of Fission (extension) support. It’s not great, but better. AddBlockPlus issues are hopefully fixed and it adds support for the New Tab Button on Tab […]
