Instead of your desktop, post a screenshot of your browser configuration
We haven't done this in a while and I'm always on the lookout for new ideas.

First off, I am running XP, I just prefer the classic look. My Firefox theme is "Daum Blue" - a simple, clean look that really highlights the current tab. As you can see, I like my add-ons and extensions but I think I have arranged unobtrusively:
  • Menu bar: StumbleUpon is on the menu bar to the right of the drop-downs.
  • Address bar: holds DownloadHelper, DownThemAll, PageSaver and TabCounter (all to the right of the search window).
  • Status bar: FEBEBackup on the left and AdBlock, NoScript and GMailNotifier on the right.




Nice and clean, just the way I like it. My office might be a disaster but my computer is immaculate!

1. Anyone?
Fine, here's a shot of my desktop. (Yeah, I have one of those square 1280x1024 monitors.)

4. No tabs or just one website open?
I have my bookmarks toolbar hidden as I find that with Firefox 3 it's just faster to start typing directly into the address window and it searches the bookmarks for matches. All I have to do is type 'd' and DU pops up as the first choice. If I need to browse my bookmarks, I can always bring them up with alt-b. (I'm a keyboard guy as it's faster for me.)

Doesn't look that different from FF, but then they are both Mozilla. I've heard FF doesn't play well on Macs.

16. No tabs open

No one wants to see all the boring stuff I look at...

:P

3. Well, this is a new idea. Here's what DU looks like to me...
By the way, this isn't a trick of some sort is it?

7. Widescreen monitor I presume
I want one of those. Next time I upgrade which is soon. This is the longest I've ever held onto a system (2MHz P4) as it handles pretty much everything I need it to do.

I've had classic compact before but I just got DaumBlue to install today (I had to enable third party cookies before it would install) and I wanted to show it off.

I want a bigger monitor.

9. Actually, that screen shot was taken from my new favorite toy, an Acer Aspire 1.
It's just a really big screen cap - I suppose I should have reduced it in size, as I know how large images can trash a thread and are sometimes difficult to open.

Daum Blue is a nice looking theme. It must be new.

11. Yeah, it's only about a month old
Edited on Mon Feb-09-09 08:54 PM by pokerfan
I wanted it as soon as I saw it. You can find it http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2009/01/a-beautiful-firefox-theme">here.

I moved my StumbleUpon button to the address bar, hid the menu bar with HideMenuBar and switched to small icons. Gained me some more space:

Or at least Lady Effingnearsighted. Those are some big fonts, amiga.

15. I'm not familiar with Avant...
What do you like about it? Is that the one that uses the IE engine? So many browsers these days.

22. I beleive so yes....
It's a tabbed browser obviously. I've been using it for several years now. The version I currently have is about a year and change old. I'm just used to it, and like the space I have, and the set up.
I do use Firefox at work and am beginning to get used to it, so I may end up making the transition sooner or later.

21. This is a fraction of what I used to have open
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 12:50 AM by kentauros
as when you get above 200 tabbed windows open, it starts to get a little unstable ;)
It's difficult to read because it's set up for a 1920x1200 resolution (24") screen.

24. Okay


Add-ons:

Morning Coffee (opens favorite sites with one click)
Fireshot (screen capture)
Foxclocks (no, I don't live in Chicago)
NoScript (love it!)
ChromaTabs (cause colored tabs r pretty)

The theme is Simple Green.

I like as much window as possible so I hide unneeded toolbars and excess doodads.

Incidentally, my Operating System is not Vista but XP with WindowBlinds installed.

25. I'm a little anal about things being organized.
Edited on Tue Feb-10-09 06:49 AM by Phillycat
As you can see.



Edited to add: I'm very glad I could immortalize "Would you like to taste my HOT BEEF SUNDAE" in a screenshot.
