Firefox Add-on Collections @ Screen Estate

Saving a few pixels off your screen might not bother you if you were to have a huge lcd monitor but it would if you were to gaze upon a net book or any other little portable device,removing those annoying bars will make your screen more visible to you. The Title bar, The Menu bar, The bookmarks toolbar, The tab bar, The navigation bar, The Status bar …… what were the designers thinking! I don’t know what they were but google’s chrome is my choice when it comes to screen estate. To begin with it does not have title bar and the tab bar is integrated with the navigation bar and the status bar pops up only when necessary and then goes off in a poof, the bookmarks toolbar is optional and wolaa, there is no menu bar at all. I give it a ten on ten for optimizing the screen space. The best part is that it is built in and you don’t need to use any add-ons unlike firefox …………..

Note1: If the add-on does not install properly on your version firefox(let us say firefox 3) please click on the link and go the respective add-on page where you can find older versions of the add-ons which might be compatible

Note2:Remember that Firefox must be installed on your computer to use any of them if you do not have firefox on your computer. please click here to download the latest version, in case you do not have it yet.
