How to Disable Firefox Missing Plugin Notifications
Sometimes when you visit a website you’ll see an “Additional plugins are required to display…” notification at the top of Firefox.

How to Clear Firefox 4 History, Cookies, and Cache
A year ago we wrote the ultimate guide to clearing out your Firefox History and Cache. Since then Mozilla has released Firefox version 4.0 and slapped a completely new interface on the browser.

How to Disable Geo-location in Firefox 4
Some websites have location-aware features that can help you find local shops, restaurants, deals, and direction.

But, this isn’t always useful and if the list becomes too long, it is easily confusing. Mozilla thought ahead on this one [...]
How to Make Firefox 4 Hide the Tab Bar When Not In Use
Tabs are the greatest thing to come to web browser since the invention of add-ons. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone uses them. Sometimes it works better to open a new window, or sometimes it is easier to focus if you only have 1 tab open at a time. No matter the case, with this [...]
How to Setup Sync for Firefox 4
One of my favorite features about Firefox is the new sync option. We’ve been testing this out for a while now and it has proven really useful for jumping between devices without losing data. If you are constantly on the go, or if you own multiple computers – Firefox sync is a must-have. It even [...]
