Try this add-on to eliminate the precious space the menu takes up on the Firefox toolbar. If you notice that it takes the whole line for the menu bar but half of the space is just wasted as the menu really fills only half of the line.
Get TinyMenu from here.
Here is what you should do once you install and restart your Firebox browser,
- Right-click on a toolbar and click “Customize”.
- Drag all the items from the navigation bar up to the menu bar. You’ll have to do them one at a time, so it takes a little while.
- Click “Done” to get out of customize mode.
- Right-click on a toolbar and un-select the navigation toolbar.
- Right-click on a toolbar again and click “Customize”.
- This time, drag the items from the Customize window to the menu bar (arranging it as you’d prefer). Again, you’d have to do this one at at time and so it takes a while.
- Click “Done” to get out of the customize mode.
And that’s it. You’ve just saved a line of real estate on your browser.

On one of my previous posts I’ve talked about postponing your PC/Laptop purchase until Oct 28, 2006 if you want to experience a free upgrade to Windows Vista.
It looks like Dell.com has started offering this a bit early. Today when I was customizing a laptop that I wanted to purchase for a while (and have postponed since that post), I noticed that there is a new category that they’ve added during the customization process which allows you to do an upgrade for $10.
There are 2 ways you can upgrade your Windows XP based system to Windows Vista for almost free.
- Express Upgrade to Windows Vista Home Premium from XP Media Center Edition
- Express Upgrade to Windows Vista Business from XP Professional
I’m not sure about the other retailers whether they would do it from Oct 26 onwards or they would do it only after Oct 28. I couldn’t find anything on their web sites that says that. You might wanted to check that out at your local stores.
But on Dell.com, when you custom build a PC/Laptop they’ve included an option for you to pick and choose the upgrade kit. They, of course, charge you $10 to cover the cost of shipping the upgrade kit. But, hey, $10 to experience Vista than $$$? I’m up for this deal.
Dell.com says it clear that even though you can enroll for the upgrade kit now it will only be available on February 2007 when Vista will be (hopefully) available for the public.
