firefox

One thing I like about Safari on the Mac is its visual appearance compared to Mozilla Firefox. My main gripe lies in the uniform way Firefox renders dropdown boxes and input buttons compared to Safari's fancy and more Mac like rendering. Firefoxy is a small tool that fixes this small problem quickly. The result is not earth shattering but it is still a big improvement over Firefox's default look and feel.

Adam Curry recently talked about this on his PodCast but I figured I would add this to my site as knowing my luck I would forget where I saw it on the Internet.
The default install of Mozilla Firefox does not take advantage of multiple simultaneous connections to web servers when downloading files and images. Please note the following tweak is only useful if you are on a high speed connection (not dial up).
The following is quoted from the Free Republic website on how to change this:

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
