Facebook Color Changer is a browser add-on for the Google Chrome web browser using which you can change how facebook appears to you. Changes are limited only to your own browser in your computer. Facebook users two shades of the blue color – dark blue for the top menubar background and light blue for the icons shown in the menubar (like notification, messages and friend requests etc.). The Facebook Color Change extension allows you to change both of these colors.

It has been a few years since Microsoft Internet Explorer has a reset feature in its settings. You can use this feature to reset all the usual settings back to default and repair Internet Explorer. Now Mozilla Firefox has come up with a similar feature to reset Mozilla Firefox. If you are having problems with toolbars, plugins and other messed up settings in Firefox, then you can either try to fix them one by one or you can just reset Firefox and get rid of all those problems in one shot.

For past some time, attack sites were using exploits in the Adobe Flash plugin for Firefox to run an exploit on a users PC. Starting from the version 11.3, the Adobe Flash plugin is installed with a protected mode by default. This protected mode makes Flash run with lower integrity levels and thus prohibits the runtime to access sensitive resources. But if you are facing browsing problems due to this protected mode, then you can disable it easily.

The most notable feature of the new version of Firefox is that it opens a speed dial page when you try to open a new tab. This new tab page shows the thumbnails of your most accessed websites, so that you can easily open them after opening a new tab. But, for some of us, this is a headache and a privacy concern (imagine your friends coming over and opening a new tab and noticing all the sites you browse). If you do not like this new tab page feature, then you can disable it easily.

Instagram is a photo sharing program for iPhone, iPad and Android. You can take a picture, apply various kinds of photo effects using Instagram and then share your photo on multiple social sites like facebook, twitter and more. Until now you had to have a smartphone like iPhone or one running on Android to access and use Instagram services. But now you can access and use Instagram right from your Chrome web browser using the Instagram for Chrome add-on.

If you are a Facebook junkie like me, then you know that you miss it while surfing other websites. Now you can check your Facebook updates, comments, friend requests and more right in the statusbar of your Google Chrome browser using the MyStatusBar extension. No matter which website you are surfing in your Chrome browser, Facebook would be visible in the statusbar.

More and more websites are using the location aware browsing technology to present to you information relevant to your geographical location (in short geolocation). For this location aware browsing, these websites rely on your geolocation supplied by your browser. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, then you can easily spoof your geolocation using the GeoLocater add-on for Firefox.

Often when we are enjoying Youtube videos, something important comes up and we have to close the browser window to attend to that important task. Later when we come back to our computer, either we have forgotten about Youtube or find it hard to open that same video we were enjoying earlier. A Firefox add-on resumeLater takes on this problem. Using this add-on you can bookmark any video on Youtube (as well as other video sites) and resume it later from the same time position.

The Facebook Auto-Logout add-on logs you automatically out of Facebook when you close Firefox or if you have not opened Facebook for a specified period of time – default time being one minute. This add-on removes all Facebook cookies, resulting in your automatic logout. This also makes your Facebook presence hidden from other sites which use the Facebook like button. Because your Facebook cookies are removed, they cannot trace your web browsing behavior using these tracking cookies.
