Trick Out Your Firefox Browser with Style |
|
- The Mozilla creators of the popular open source Firefox browser are offering a supplementary web application that helps users customize the browser to their specific needs. On a side note, the company also announced that the Firefox add-ons that provide this customization have passed the one billion download milestone.
"One of the best parts about Firefox is the amazing richness of our 5,000-plus free add-ons," said Mike Shaver, vice president of engineering at Mozilla. "We're excited to introduce Fashion Your Firefox because it makes it even easier for people to discover useful add-ons that make the browsing experience better and more personal."
Instead of requiring users to hunt through thousands of extensions to customize their browser, Fashion Your Firefox offers nine categories of people to choose from, and presents appropriate extensions based on these profiles. The categories are Finder and Seeker, Social Butterfly, Shutterbug, Digital Pack Rat, Rock Star, Decorator, Shopaholic, News Junkie, and Executive Assistant.
For example, the Social Butterfly collection includes extensions built for the Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn social networks, along with instant messaging and bookmark sharing tools.
To try the service out for yourself, point your browser to www.fashionyourfirefox.com.
