My Firefox Setup
15 Jan 2009 - Georgia Tech
Following a long series of disappointments from the Safari camp, namely the issue of cookies disappearing like a Cookie Monster convention was in town, I've switched (back) to using Firefox on Mac OS X.
It was far from pleasant at first, but finally I think I've got it configured just the way I want it, and I might be happy with this workflow:
- Extensions
- /Find Bar/ -- Gives the findbar regexp magic.
- Adblock Plus
- Firebug 1.3.0b7
- Firefox PDF Plugin for Mac OS X -- Allows me to view PDFs in-browser via PDFKit.
- Greasemonkey
- Inquisitor -- An awesome searching add-on that I loved in Safari.
- oldbar -- Makes the location bar suck less.
- Socialite 1.2.4pre4 -- Reddit integration. Currently in-development. Working with the dev to fix a couple bugs/quirks.
- Ubiquity 0.1.5 -- Quicksilver in the browser, essentially.
- Theme
- GrApple Yummy 1.9.9.18 -- Make Firefox look more like Safari. Needs skinnier tabs though.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close.
