Secure Login(Firefox Extension)

Log in with one click using the Secure Login Extension by Sebastian Tschan

This addon is similar to the Opera Wand extension but better. You can login with one click and it deactivates the prefilling of login forms. Which means better security. It works especially well with multiple user logins. A prompt is displayed, you select the appropriate login ID and it automatically will log on.
When a login page is accessed a gold key appears on your status bar or customize and place it on your toolbar.

Tab Effect for Firefox.

Categories: FireFox.

Check this out.

It’s called Tab effects. It’s an extension for Firefox.

If you have a decent graphics card installed it works great.

It gives a sorta 3d effect to the tabs. When you switch tabs with this installed it rotates cube style.

Here it is:

Its Official Firefox 2.0 Is Released

Posted on October 24, 2006 by TechTweaker.
Categories: Downloads, FireFox, Internet, Security, Software.

Now is the time to download Firefox 2.0 the official release. Firefox is my primary browser. In my honest opinion it is superior to the new IE7. For one it starts faster, pages load faster and it takes seconds to download and install the new version. Unlike IE7 which takes 2 restarts to fully install. The Firefox install process doesn’t need a restart, you can use it right away.

You can add useful add-ons like Forecast Fox Enhanced, or IE Tab which allows access to the BNSF Emulator.
It has a new look. It’s security is superior to IE7. IE7 already has vulnerabilities from the very day it was released.
Firefox has a lot to offer. Try it out. I especially recommend that you browse the many Add-ons here: Firefox Add-ons

Here are just a few highlights of Firefox 2.0 from the official site:

Enjoy a Better Web Experience

Firefox 2 delivers helpful new features to make your online experience more productive.

Stay Secure on the Web

Firefox continues to lead the way in online security, and now includes active protection from online scams to keep you safer.

Personalize Your Browser

Choose from over a thousand useful add-ons that enhance Firefox. It’s easy to personalize Firefox to make it your own.

Try out Songbird

This is a cool new player built by the same platform as Firefox. Mozilla cross-platform and open source code.

I’ve been playing with it for a few hours now and it seems to work very well. You can listen to music and browse the internet with the player. You can also install extensions just like the Firefox browser. Most of the extensions are for optimizing the songbird music player.

It will play any type of music file. MP3, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WMA, and more.
Here is a description of Songbird from the official site at:

http://www.songbirdnest.com/

Play music.
Play the Web.™
Songbird™ is a desktop Web player, a digital jukebox and Web browser mash-up. Like Winamp, it supports extensions and skins feathers. Like Firefox®, it is built from Mozilla®, cross-platform and open source.

Download Songbird, Click the Icon below:

Firefox is giving Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7 RC1 a run for its money. This latest release is quite a improvement from the recent Firefox 2.0 beta2. The theme looks SWEET.
