Firefox Customization

[malikor]

Everyone knows that Mozilla Firefox supports the addition of extensions and themes. With that in mind, most people like to use these available resources to customize their browser. What addons do you use? If you use a theme, post a link to a screenshot. If you use multiple themes, post multiple links to screenshots or just list them here. Feel free to link to the addon/theme's page on Mozilla's site so that others can see what the item is about and download it as well, if they so choose.

Wow - nice job!
(looks like a lot of work involved there )

[malikor]

Not a lot of work. The addons are ones I've been using for years. The scripts are ones I found online. You can browse all available userscripts for Greasemonkey at UserScripts.org and you can browse all available Styles for Stylish at UserStyles.org

Stylish can be used to add scripts that modify elements on specific pages, the Firefox Interface, or globally across all sites. UserStyles are generally a collection of scripts that are installed at once to achieve a goal. It would be like installing several scripts for Greasemonkey at once, but Stylish is better in my opinion. Greasemonkey still comes in handy though!

malikor & co - I've moved this thread here because it contains stuff I think will be of real interest to a lot of members who might not see it if it stays in it's previous location

I had never heard of CustomizeGoogle 0.76 extension until just now. I went to the site and loved what I saw. It looks great. Then, I tried installing it. It doesn't work in the latest version of Firefox! Dang it! Any ideas if they are working on an update?

[malikor]

They are working on an update to that. If you want to install addons that are not current for your browser version, install an addon called Install Anyway. Be careful tho, issues may conflict web browsing.
