Hell, how did I forget about lynx/links? I practically grew up on that browser. It is simply beautiful, especially when used on a UNIX (not linux, UNIX) machine through a telnet window. Just rocks!

The devil might be known for his deceivery and treachery but one thing he does not use is pirated software. Use Linux for the OS, Open Office for the Word Processor, Kaffeine and XMMS for the media players, and anything else under the GPL.

Hi Folks.

Using this link, further customize your firefox browser.

NO more scrolling and blinking text. The sidebar is on the right, disabled popup dialog boxes etc.,

have fun.

i think the author is planning on improving the features. visit the discussion forum if you have suggestions and comments.

by **satishgoda** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 2:53 pm

I have been playing more with firefox extensions. Today I discovered "Content Holder" extension which allows me to view two different pages in a single window.

Here is a screenshot explaining few extensions.

In retrospect, FF is the sexiest piece of software I have ever dealt with.

You know, ycr, for a 007 you really need to start googling more often before you post stuff that could become a potential source of embarasment. Actually, I would rather you thought GPL to stand for GNU Programming Language. But thinking that General Public License is applicable to paid software is just unforgivable! :evil:

You better click here to find out more.

Hey Lucifer, not many people know about GPL or copyleft laws unless they are computer science students (with an inclination for open source software, or M$ bigots) or those who want to "borrow" ideas/design from what somebody else has done and don't want to be in a legal fix. So give ycr a break

May be I was a bit hard on ycr. But I thought he was a bit of a techie, considering how much he has already sung paens of Firefox and other such tech stuff. Perhaps I was wrong. My bad.

PS: But, there is always google!

Well it just goes to show that Firefox has penetrated the non-techie world in an effective way. ycr knows much more about Firefox than some of my techie friends do.
