Firefox Projects

Firefox is without doubt the best browser that I have ever used! It is fast, easy to use, extendible, configurable and best of all it respects me by doing what I want and providing protection against a whole range of online abuse. It does not do the bidding of an abusive monopoly nor does it force itself upon me, I chose it freely because it simply is the best. Thanks to Firefox the web has been liberated from the stranglehold of a monopoly that slowed down and sometimes prevented innovation.

As a small contribution to the Firefox community I am involved in a few projects from marketing to writing search plugins for the Firefox browser.

• Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts - Firefox shortcuts on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux organized by topical group.
• Foxysearch.org - A Google Co-op utility to search official and semi-official Mozilla and Firefox sites.
• Fire up the Fox! - Get more out of your browser. An overview of the possibilities with the goal of entrenching the usage of Firefox.
• Bookmarklets - A collection of useful bookmarklets for Firefox.
