Firefox Add-On: CSS Usage

Monday, July 4th, 2011

CSS Coverage is an extension for Firebug which allows you to scan multiple pages of your site to see which CSS rules are actually used in your site.

This extension requires Firebug.

How does it work?
- Open up the first page of the site you want to check and press the “Scan” button in the “CSS Coverage” Firebug tab.
- In case of a rich (Ajax or DHTML) site, open up as many divs/popups/tabs in the page as possible and press “Scan” again.
- Visit other pages of your site and press “Scan” again.

Each time you press “Scan”, the CSS files that are included in the current page are shown with the number of times the rules has been found applied on your page before it.

Improve Firefox’s Address Bar with Better History Searching, Custom Search Engines

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Mozilla’s updated Firefox’s address bar with an add-on that improves history searching, as well as adds a bunch of custom search engines to help you search by subject—like books, maps, movies or music.

Firefox’s AwesomeBar has always gone above and beyond the call of duty, but Awesomebar HD adds a few cool new features for search-hungry Firefox users. The first thing they’ve done is improved history searching: now, Firefox pays attention to how often you visit and re-visit certain pages, so when you type in the name of a previously visited page, it can intelligently order the results in a way that gets you there quickest.
