For a long time now, one of Firefox’s main advantages has been its hugely popular add-on system. I’ve had my concerns regarding Firefox 4.0 add-on compatibility, but Lee says things are improving.
That said, I was very pleased to get an email from Mozilla this morning, announcing that they’ve made quite [...]

Mozilla makes add-on collections easier than ever to use
Thousands of Firefox add-ons already work on Firefox 4
Filed under: Mozilla, Browsers
Broken extensions are nothing new when it comes to Firefox updates — pretty well every Minefield version I’ve played with over the years has shut down one or two of my add-ons. Still, there are some major changes under the hood in Firefox 4 which could cause a little more breakage than [...]
Is Mozilla making a huge mistake by breaking add-ons so badly on Firefox 4?
Filed under: Mozilla, Browsers, Op-Ed
I’m stoked about Firefox 4; I think many of us are. It’s a beautiful browser, and with the addition of Tab Candy (now “Panorama”) it’s even cooler.
Whenever Mozilla release a new version of Firefox, add-ons break. It’s routine, nobody’s overly worked up about it by now. The Mozilla add-ons site is [...]
Firefox Friday, the back to school edition: 10 add-ons to make education less dire
Filed under: Mozilla, Browsers, EducationYou may have noticed we’ve got our back to school jive on here at Download Squad. We figure it’s worth interrupting your usual programming for a week or two — after all, once the kids are back at school, we’re all free to do whatever we like until Christmas! Woohoo!
Still, so [...]
Now’s the time to make your first Firefox add-on with the Mozilla Add-ons Builder
Filed under: Mozilla, BrowsersReleased with nary a muted fanfare, you’d be forgiven for having never seen or used the Mozilla Add-ons Builder. The Builder is a Web-based add-on SDK (and yes, you need to use Firefox to get the most out of it!)
This new tool, which is obviously aimed at boosting both educational and [...]
Firefox Friday Five: all quiet on the Firefox front, so here are some neat websites, tips, features and tricks
Filed under: Internet, Features, Mozilla, BrowsersWith classic, why-does-the-universe-hate-me irony it seems that Mozilla had a flurry of activity while I was on vacation. Except the Thunderbird Contacts thing that Lee gushed about earlier this week, there’s been absolutely nothing since I got back. Incidentally, if you still haven’t downloaded the FF4.0 beta 2, you should [...]
Google Alarm browser add-on makes noises when Google collects your data
Filed under: Utilities, Web servicesSo, maybe I should just say that “Google Alarm makes noises,” because Google is always collecting your data.
Whether it’s Google.com, YouTube, or any site with Google Analytics, chances are you’ve picked up some Google cookies during your browsing travels. If you want to know when that’s happening, Google Alarm is [...]

Make Firefox 4’s UI slimmer than Google Chrome – no add-ons required!
Filed under: Mozilla, Browsers
Since the release of the Firefox 4 beta, I’ve been happily using it as my default Web browser once again. Google Chrome had been my primary browser for quite some time, but Firefox 4’s improved speed and the fact that it can do three things I’ve wished Chrome could do for ages [...]
Find All for Firefox somewhat alleviates crappy default Find functionality
Filed under: Mozilla, Browsers
So I don’t like Firefox’s native Find functionality; and it turns out I’m not the only one. There have been lots of comments on my post; the one I found most entertaining was the one calling me to “stop acting like a tabloid” – gotta love those comments!
The most useful comment, however, [...]
