About

What are Add-ons? "Add-ons are small pieces of software that can add new features or tiny tweaks to your [Mozilla Browser] They can add new search engines or dictionaries in other languages, change the look of [your Browser] with a new theme, or much more. Take a look around and see what add-ons can do for you." - addons.update.mozilla.org/firefox



What are Collections of Add-ons? Add-on Collector allows you to "Discover more of the best add-ons and organize your favorites in easy-to-manage collections. Subscribe to see how the collections you admire grow, and fans follow when you manage and update your own collections." more...

Featured Add-Ons

  1. Fast Dial - Fast access to your favorite sites through thumbnails, like Opera's Speed Dial. Works in Firefox and in Flock: 
  2. Shareaholic - available for Firefox and for Flock. Found something awesome online and can’t wait to pass it on? Tired of copying and pasting endless URLs? Shareaholic allows you to share, bookmark and e-mail web pages quickly without leaving your browser.

My current list of add-ons that I use with Flock.

  • 4 tips from the author: What I do though is go to preferences/invocation and set it to Toolbar mode, as I mentioned below. However what I didn't mention is why: It means the menu does not come up when selecting text! ONLY when you hit the enter key after you select text. Try it  :-)  It's much less obtrusive.  I recommend toolbar mode: hit enter and it hoists the selection to the toolbar, then use they keyboard shortcuts
