Use Minefield at the same time as Firefox

Using MultiFirefox, you can use Minefield, the new beta version of Firefox, at the same time as Firefox 2 or 3.

You need to rename Firefox to something like Firefox Beta or Firefox Minefield to get MultiFirefox to recognize Minefield as a version of Firefox.

After renaming it and restarting multifirefox, you will be able to load Minefield and any other version of Firefox compatible with multifirefox.

Firefox Tabs – Drag and Drop

I can’t really remember the time before tabbed browsing and Firefox’s session restore feature. On average, I probably have 5-7 tabs open at a time, and I often close Firefox with that many tabs open. It has become part of my workflow.

The other day, I learned – quite by accident – that I can rearrange the tabs on Firefox just by clicking and dragging them to another position. It’s a simple trick, and it has helped with my workflow.

Now, my tabs can reflect groupings in my workflow. When I come back to the tab in the third position, I may want to open additional tabs related to the website contained therein. Rather than just opening new tabs at the end, I can now group them all together and bring a little more organization to my tabbed browsing.
