Must-have Firefox optimizations on OS X
Here’s a list of Firefox optimizations, add-ons, extensions, and hacks that make Firefox livable on Mac OS X.
- Forecastfox
- Adblock
- keyconfig - allows the backspace key to function as “back” like it does in Safari, FF Windows, etc.
- Firefoxy - pretty form element widgets. They don’t look like Safari, but they do look better than the default, which is awful on Firefox OS X builds. I used to use Aqua Firefox Set but I couldn’t get it to work with 1.5b1.
- Grapple - makes the menubar look pretty and OS X-like
Nothing really earth-shattering here, but it makes Firefox OS X look and play nice.
