Google Lucky Search URL
The URL for a Google’s “I’m Feeling Lucky” search is: http://www.google.com/search?i&q=%s You can replace the %s with your query. This is especially helpful when creating a keyword search in a browser. As a related note, you can do an automatic image search with this: http://www.google.com/images?&q=
firefox greasemonkey directory mac
If you’re looking for the greasemonkey directory for firefox on mac os x, look no further. The installed user scripts can be found here: /Users/user/Library/Application Support/Firefox/ Profiles/(your-profile-name).default/gm_scripts
Firefox 4 Artwork
I have to say that the artwork for FF4 is pretty sweet: And a larger version:
Most Common Firefox User Agent
The most common fire fox useragent (for mac and windows) are: * Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b5) Gecko/20091204 Firefox/3.6b5 * Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20091218 Firefox 3.6b5 Change this setting by modifying general.useragent.override in about:config
Firefox: How to find your profile directory
This works for Firefox 3.6 and newer. For older versions, see the Mozilla Help Page. At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Help menu and select Troubleshooting Information…. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section, click on Open Containing Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
greasemonkey – google images relinker (v 2.0)
I really like the google image relinker script for greasemonkey, but sometimes when there’s a hotlink protection or something else funky, you just want the original google images link. i updated this greasemonkey image re-linker script so that it relinks the images, but also provides links to open the original link (both in a new tab, and in a new window) Download the script: google_image_relinker_v2_00.user.js.txt (rename to just .js) google_image_relinker_v2_00.user.js (right click and save as) Greasemonkey scripts can be used with chrome or firefox
Open with PTTL – Firefox 3.5+ (Plain Text to Link)
I love the Open PTTL firefox extension, but recently upgraded to Firefox 3.5. One of the add-ons which broke was the “Plain Text to Link” addon. I took a look at the Mozilla Addons page and this is the author’s only extension. And it hasn’t been updated since July 2008. I took a quick look at the code and it seemed pretty simple – and it looks like everything will work fine with Firefox 3, so I’ve edited the install requirements to allow installing on up to Firefox 3.5.* The old extension file was named plain_text_to_link-1.5.20080618-fx.xpi I’ve called the new one plain_text_to_link-1.6.20100125-fx.xpi You probably need to download it to your computer and then drag the xpi file on top of firefox to install :)
Change Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts (Add-on / Extension)
What you need is the KeyConfig add on. Read about KeyConfig and how to configure your keyboard shortcuts Download / Install KeyConfig here (there is no landing page, just a link to install directly – sorry! This addon is not listed on the Firefox extensions page!)
Firefox Quick Find
Related Post: Check out my entry on customizing firefox keyboard shortcuts clipped from foliovision.com Firefox Quickfind: Hard to Type an Apostrophe Firefox has a great search feature based on Command-F (Mac) or Control-F (Windows). You get a cute little text box at the bottom of the screen which allows you to search the whole page. Subsequently Command-G works just fine to take you down through the page. Just ‘ (apostrophe) alone will bring up the Quick Find box. It looks almost the same but isn’t. Quick Find only searches URLs (a nice extra almost undocumented feature). If you want to do a Quick Find in all the text you need to use / (forward slash). You can get caught in an edit box (think Gmail or forums) and be unable to type an apostrophe. Type about:config in the address bar to access Firefox’s hidden preferences and toggle “searchkeys.disable.all” to true I haven’t decided whether to leave the QuickFind on (now that I know how it works). I certainly don’t think Quick Find should be on by default.
Reopen closed tabs – Chrome and Firefox
I love the Ctrl+Shift+T function to reopen your accidentally closed tabs in Firefox and Google Chrome. That’s the other thing that Chrome did right – used intuitive shortcut keys based on good industry standards (ie: Mozilla).
