When I wrote about Skipscreen back in April, I figured it was probably the kind of add-on that someone, somewhere wouldn't like. Possibly the free hosting providers whose roadblocks Skipscreen is designed to circumvent. Fast forward to today, and that's exactly the case. MediaFire has decided that Mozilla needs to remove the add-on from its directory immediately, citing violations of the ...

The Mozilla Jetpack "In the Wild" page seems to get a little bigger every day. Mozilla is rightfully proud of the fledgling project, and for good reason. Jetpack brings no-restart add-on installation to Firefox and it opens development to a huge base of coders since they need only know HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

While it's still just a few weeks old, Mozilla is already working hard to get Jetpack ready for the future. Version 0.2 has been released, and it comes with several new API additions that make Jetpack development easier and provide access to features that will be baked in to future releases.

The latest version of the Google Toolbar for Firefox adds features mimicking Chrome's start page to newly-opened tabs in Firefox. In addition to your 9 most frequently visited sites, the page also displays recent bookmarks and recently closed tabs. The update also boasts an array of new ...

Are you a Firefox extension junkie? Us too. Most of the extensions we have installed put useful information in the status bar, which is great, but causes quite a bit of clutter.
