Firefox rox !!!

Found a cool new feature in firefox 0.9 .. Open all links in tabs

Daily when i logon to my machine, i usually visit the same websites. Firefox helped me remember those sites more seamlessly now. I created a folder called "Daily visited sites" under the "Bookmarks toolbar folder". So next time when i bring up firefox, i click on this "Daily visited sites" tab and in the dropdown list showing me the list of websites bookmarked it also gives me an option to all the bookmarks in this folder in separate tabs !!! This is just awesome.

To add to this, i browsed for some more cool features and came across a sleek toolbar shortcut for gmail notifications !!! You can download it from this link. Once u click on this shortcut and login with ur gmail user name, it keeps refreshing and tells you the number of unread new mails u have in your inbox. Oh boy, things start getting better and better on firefox. I would love to write some xuls to extend this feature to access my other imap accounts and have a sweet mail notification shortcut right in my browser.

  1. The moment i talked about this new gmail account notification in firefox, Srini pointed me to "Gnome gmail app" which integrates with your Gnome desktop. But, it needs ruby, and i have yet to experiement with this app.
