The one thing that i like in Opera is the way it organizes Web History according to the date as well as the main domain.Though Firefox organizes Web history in terms of date,it is highly cluttered in my opinion.

Cluttered Web History Organization in Firefox

Even the latest Firefox 3.X series doesn’t have such organization.

If you are like me who likes to have a Web History organized the way like Opera,then Enhanced History Manage is a plugin made specially for you.

This plugin is incompatible with the latest Firefox.However there is an workaround possible.

Refer How to Install Old,Incompatible Firefox Addon or Extension for more information.

Sort Web History By main domain

Once installed,press CTRL+SHIFT+H to activate Enhanced History Sidebar.
Now all you have to do is click Sorted By >> Group By >> Day->Site.

Hope you liked this small tweak…..

Many many useful plugins aka extensions are Incompatible with the new Firefox 3.x. There are several workarounds to force them to get installed but there is one addon called Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2 which makes it easy to install a non compatible firefox addon.

[[ Nightly Tester Tools 2.0.2 Firefox Addon ]]

After installation of this addon,whenever one tries to install an incompatible old firefox addon a windows appears prompting for force install.

Force Install a incompatible firefox addon

Note: Forcing an incompatible outdated addon to install is risky. Since the addon is not optimized for the new firefox version, it might cause frequent crashes. If that happens simply disable that addon.

I love Firefox especially the FF search plugin’s. This tutorial will explain how to create your own custom Firefox search plugin in seconds.

So let’s get started….Open up notepad and paste the following lines..

Replace “Aditech” to any name which you like…and the most important thing replace “blog.aditech.info” to any site you wish to have the custom search engine.

Now the save the file as “myplugin.src” [You can use any name but the quotes and .src is mandatory]

save as

Copy this file to your FF searchplugins dirctory.. ex: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins

Now we need to have an icon for our custom search engine.You can find a lot’s of free downloadable ico and png files in http://www.iconarchive.com/
It is recommended to have a 16×16 pixel image.

For example i downloaded this iconAvatar

After downloading the image rename the image to the plugin name i.e, in my case i must rename it as myplugin. Copy this file to the the same searchplugins direcotory.That means you will have 2 files with the same name one src and one png or ico file.

final
