Having problems with some Fire Fox add-ons because you just installed the latest version? Here is a simple fix that can get many of your outdated add ons working. Please keep in mind that this may now work on every add-on and that you should back up everything before proceeding.

Step #1 = Open Fire Fox and type about:config

Step #2 = Right click on any of the list of entries. It doesn’t matter which one.. select neW/Boolean

Step #3 = Enter extensions.checkCompatibility

Step #4 = Select False

Thats it–you are done!

there is also an add-on that can supposedly accomplish this as well but I haven’t tried it yet. I will report on it as soon as I do give it a shot.

It is called “Nightly Tester Tools”and you can find it Here..

Nightly Tester Tools

Thanks

FYI- I recently Purchased an I=Pod Touch and I will be posting some I-Pod Application Reviews. Please let me know if there are any specific I Pod apps you would like me to review.

Hey All, If you happen to use Firefox as your internet browser than you absolutely have to check out Speed Dial!  It is the most useful Firefox Add-On ever created in my opinion and it is very easy to use. It makes your browsing experience so much faster and easier.

Speed Dial is an add-on that you can use to replace your browser’s home page. It shows a grid of thumbnails of websites that you add by simply using a link on your toolbar. You can set up your grid to contain the amount of thumbnails you would like with each page or grid being called a Group. When your first grid or Group is full you can easily add another group and so on. You can even choose the sizes of your thumbnails, the type of images and the quality. To organize your thumbnails or favorites you can easily just drag them around to where you want them..

Here are some images of Speed Dial I grabbed from the Firefox Add-On website.

#1 – This is a screenshot of the Grid or Group – Keep in mind that you don’t have to have only 3 across and 3 down. You can select the amount you want..

#2 – This image is a shot of what comes up when you hit the “Add a link to Speed Dial” link in your tool bar. You can choose the title and how often your thumbnail will be refreshed.

#3- This is an image showing you so of the options you can choose to edit and modify your thumbnails.

The above posted images may make the Speed Dial Add-On seem a bit complicated but it is seriously the easiest thing to implement and use. Once you have Speed-Dial installed just add the links to your toolbar and open up the program by clicking on one of them. Once Speed Dial is opened, go into your browser tools and make Speed Dial your home page.

There you have it, Speed Dial for Firefox. I really can not decide whether I like Coolirus or Speed Dial better but I will say that Speed Dial gets used every day over and over again. With that said, CoolIrus is more fun and entertaining but Speed Dial is more useful on a day to day basis.

Please feel free to comment here if you have any questions or anything at all. Be sure to come back soon because future entries will be on Hulu and the new Hulu Desktop program!

Hey fellow Firefox fanatics! I am sorry it has been so long since my last Web Development or Technology related entry. The dead air stops now! I will be making at least 2 entries every week so hopefully some of you will actually start commenting again instead of hiding behind the bushes.

I was actually forced to write this entry because I was so overwhelmed by all of the changes and improvements that have been made to nearly all of my favorite extensions! Basically many of my postings here are no obsolete. Thanks Developers! With that said I believe it is time to start anew.

I am going to start out by talking about Coolirus 1.10! If you haven’t tried this than you are just missing out. This new version is simply amazing!  The old version allowed you to scroll through images but the new version lets you scroll through videos from Hulu, You Tube and many others. You can even log into Hulu through the Coolirus system!

Coolirus 1.10 also lets you even scroll through games if you like. You see these games in a scrolling 3-dimensional wall. it is hard for me to explain it and the images are not going to do it justice. You just have to try it…  trust me on this. If you liked the old version than you will love this one. If you didn’t like the old version than you will still love this one!

Here is the Description taken right from the Firefox website:
