How To Auto Shutdown The Computer (or Firefox) after Downloads Complete
Recently, however, I found an excellent addon that lets you do schedule auto shutdowns in Firefox and a whole lot more, its (aptly) called Auto-Shutdown. The addon is auto shutdown software that provides you with a number of options to perform precisely the action you want once the downloads have completed. You can play sounds, clear downloads, shutdown, logoff, restart your computer or run any command or multiple commands through a script.

Performance:Leak Tools - MozillaWiki
Strumenti per il debug di estensioni e leak in Firefox.
When trying to make a particular testcase not leak, I recommend focusing first on the largest object graphs (since these entrain many smaller objects), then on smaller reference-counted object graphs, and then on any remaining individual objects or small object graphs that don't entrain other objects.
Stupid Extension Tricks « Not The User’s Fault
Stupid Mac Tricks was the inspiration for a presentation I did last Monday for the Design Challenge. It featured the following extensions:
1. Menubar Madness, which turns all your menus names backwards.
2. Dodgy Navbar, which makes the buttons in your navigation bar randomly reorder themselves when you click on them.
3. Kittens Everywhere, which replaces every image on the web with random LOLcats images.
4. Bookmarks and Preferences, which… actually, this one doesn’t do anything too wacky, it just shows how an extension can set bookmarks and preferences.
Sync Firefox from the Command Line | Linux Journal
There are lots of solutions for syncing Firefox, and I must confess I haven't used any of them. As I've read the descriptions, I've always gotten the sense that they wouldn't do what I wanted, the way I wanted it, when I wanted it. Necessity being the mother of invention, I wrote my own shell script to do what I needed.
Updated: Open Firefox JavaScript Console in a Sidebar
Yesterday I posted a tip on how to add the Firefox JavaScript Console to the sidebar panel. The one problem with the method, is that you can only expand the panel to a certain width, and even at that width, important debugging information – like the line number of the error and the page of the error, is cut off. There is a solution and it involves adding two CSS declarations to your userContent.css file. With that being said, here are the updated instructions to placing the JS Console in your sidebar.
Ubiquity: Make Ubiquity Your Ultimate Firefox Commander
First, if you haven't already, install the Ubiquity add-on for Firefox. (Mac users, you should also install Growl to get status messages from Ubiquity.) Ubiquity is still pre-1.0, so be prepared for possible hiccups or Firefox slowdowns with Ubiquity installed. While the current 0.1.5 release saw tons of stability improvements over the initial preview, it still is very beta software.

With that said, there are a wide array of plugins for Firefox to make the YouTube user experience that much better. Here are over 20 that will let you save your favorite videos before they disappear, stop them from autoplaying when you come to a page, and more.
Foxmarks: non rimpiangere Google Sync! | Gioxx's Wall
Bentrovati. Oggi post dedicato a Mozilla Firefox e le sue estensioni sempre preziose. Foxmarks -appunto- è stata definita una (se non l’unica) estensione fondamentale per il bookmarking. Per chi lavora su più postazioni (anche contemporaneamente), per chi possiede più PC (magari uno o più portatili), per chi si sposta spesso tra un internet café e casa propria, Foxmarks torna utile in parecchi modi e posti.

Fitz and MuPDF
Fitz is a project to create a new and modern graphics library. At the core of Fitz is the display tree: a scene graph of vector graphics, images and text making up the contents of a page.
Fitz
The standard components of Fitz are:
* Base runtime (thin memory and error handling layer)
* Streams and filters (standard postscript, pdf and tiff filters)
* World model (display trees and resources)
* Drawing (draw the tree to a bitmap raster)
MuPDF
MuPDF is a PDF parser that reads PDF files and creates Fitz trees.
MuPDF also has an API to modify internal objects in the PDF files and write PDF files. For instance, it is possible to use the MuPDF library to encrypt existing PDF files, or to rearrange the pages.
pdftool is a commandline demo of this functionality; it is a portable pdf swiss army knife for fixing broken pdf files, changing permissions, merging and extracting pages, and examining the internal object structure of a PDF file.
apparition is a bare bones PDF viewer for X11 and Windows.
Browser Plugin
This plug-in uses the incredible rendering power of Fitz and MuPDF to make PDF documents appear as normal web pages within your browser.
Ambient News at Toolness
So, in an attempt to solve this problem and explore the possibility of ambient information in the browser, I’ve started a little experiment. It’s a Firefox Extension called “Ambient News”, and its goal is to provide the user with zero-cost news about the sites that they visit frequently. The extension requires no configuration; you just install it and see if it helps you out.
