Making Firefox better

[1]

Read it Later - Firefox Extension BETA
Read it later is a small extension for Firefox that permits you to save web pages so that you can read them later. It works similar to the bookmarks but it’s easier. All you have to do is click a button and the page is saved for later. If you want to go back at some point later click the second button and you will see the list of your “read it later pages”. After you have read the page click again in the first button and the page is gone. No bookmarks, no deleting, no e-mailing a link or all the things we usually do when we see something in the web but we don’t have the time to read it. I use it a couple of days now and it’s really helping. Give it a try. You can find it here . Check also the rest of the site; it has some pretty cool ideas.

Restarting Firefox
When installing a new extension in Firefox you always have an option of restarting the browser. You do not have the same option though when you uninstall an extension or when you want to change a theme. This is easy if you do not have any open windows or tabs but if you are working in something you will have to save as bookmarks all tabs, close Firefox, re-open it, and open all the tabs. There is a much easier way and it’s call extEMM 2.0. With extEMM you can restart Firefox just without losing any opened tab. You can find it here

GTDinbox for Gmail
And as we talking about Firefox Extensions you should definitely keep an eye for GTDinbox for Gmail. The extension is not working now (I would assume due to latest changes in Gmail) but the creator promises that would get a working update as soon as possible. The latest non working version right now is 1.33. I will come back to this when they fix it. You can find it here

Until next time... Keep on smiling. It will make your friends happy and your enemies crazy :-)
