Since I spend most of my working day in Firefox writing articles, the appearance of Firefox means a great deal to me. After all, since I am going to be looking at the browser all day long, it has to look and act the right way otherwise I would rapidly get annoyed with it.
One of the things that recently irritated me was the naming of some of the search plug-ins. For no explicable reason, Wikipedia would be named by the plug-in developer as “English Wikipedia” and my favourite English /German dictionary would be called “Dict.cc En<>De”. These are the names that appear in the search box when you’re not using it (see screenshot). To me, these names looked messy and to an orderly mind like mine, it ticked me off no end.
If you use the internet every day like we here at “Make Use Of” do, then you’ll know that there is a set of favourite websites that you visit countless times a day. Whether it is Digg or Big Jugs Monthly (one of my favourites!), you can access information on these sites quicker by enabling Firefox Quick Searches.
