Hi. I got sick of applying Kevin Gerich's fancy Firefox widgets to every nightly I downloaded, so I whipped up a simple drag-and-drop app to apply them. Now I need an icon. Does anyone want the eternal fame that comes with making an icon for an app that will probably be made obsolete in the near future?

I put up an info page, but I'm not distributing the app itself until I get permission from Kevin Gerich.

We're sorry, but we can't find the HomePage you've requested. It's possible that:

Yeah, sorry, I just reorganized the directory structure of my site, and I forgot to change the link.

This looks cool. I'll have to give it a try.

I just got the go-ahead from Gerich, so you can now download Firefoxy from the site I linked to above. Let me know if you have any problems.

Still looking for an icon.

It just worked for me.

I got permission from Mr. Gerich, and an icon. Firefoxy is ready to go. It's also listed on MacUpdate and VersionTracker.

My Mac must have an aversion to this neat little app. The .mac link still doesn't work. But I got it from Macupdate, and it wont run. It opens, flashes in the Dock, then quits. This does work with Firefox PR1?

not to be blunt but...
RTFM

Now it doesn't work because I released an update. But the link did work.

And yes, I suggest you RTFM. You are in desperate need of a clue.

Here's another widget-fancyfier:

Aqua Firefox Set

wataru · Jan 18, 2005, 06:59 PM

Yeah, in fact I recommend that one over mine, because changes in Firefox post-1.0 mean the old widgets no longer work.

This one seems to put an odd-looking gel button up in the Google search bar, don't think I like that.

re-install firefox should do it.

AveTenebrae · Jan 19, 2005, 08:15 PM

i had to trash ~Library/Application Support/Firefox and draginstall again from disk image after intalling Aqua Firefox Set (text was really big in text input)
Firefoxy is much much better and faster

Thanks
(but in fact i'm using camino, just wanted to try ^_^ )
