Top Eight Firefox 3 Tweaks

Top lists are a dime a dozen, but once in a while one will catch my eye and actually shows me something I didn’t know before. In the latest from PC Magazine, we learn of eight tweaks that can be made to Firefox 3 to improve the overall experience… and some are actually quite helpful.

The other is smart bookmarks hacking, which allows you to customize a string of code in order to display relevant links specified to your liking. As an example, you could have the bookmarks list show all recent URLs you’ve visited with a certain keyword.

Some of the tips are of things more noticeable, but if you aren’t one who likes to dig under the covers, then the article will be even more worthwhile to check out.

Smart bookmarks are live bookmarks that don’t just refer to particular sites but actually generate live lists of sites according to parameters you define. For example, you might have a smart bookmark that lists the 10 sites you visit most often, or the last 20 sites you’ve visited with a particular keyword in their title.
