By itself, Firefox is a lean and fast browser, but it lacks some of the functions that we've come to take for granted from Microsoft Internet Explorer. It's easy to remedy that situation with small add-on extensions. Extensions can do loads of tasks, from blocking pop-up ads to playing card games - and even viewing a Web page as if it were in IE - so they can make Firefox a versatile and customizable platform for your browsing activities. But where to start? Which extensions are worth downloading and installing? We evaluated dozens of extensions and present the best 15 for your perusal. It's easy to add them; just go to the Tools, Extensions, Get More Extensions menu to get started. Read the entire article: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1758849,00.asp

I found the coolest color checker that allows you to enter color hex codes or names and changes the page to show you the color you entered. Take a look at http://www.smithplanet.com/batc/color2.htm
Here is another great color checker. I like that it is small and shows you only the browser safe colors: http://www.djmiller.net/webcolorpalet.htm
Speaking of color, you know that there are 216 legal browser safe colors. Of these 216 colors, you are allowed to use 16 word colors. Legal color names are: Aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow. For all other colors you should use the Color HEX value. If you are writing in CSS, you must use the Color HEX value.
If you are writing XHTML pages, you need to use all small letters - no caps.

In the past few years, the number of subject-specific Web search engines and indexes has skyrocketed - new sites claiming to help users find medical information, blog postings, or pages on any of a dozen other subjects are now appearing on an almost weekly basis.

Among the best computer in information systems-related Web search tools currently available are:
