Firefox 9 is out - review! Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

Yup Mozilla keeps releasing new versions of Firefox every 6 weeks. This month Firefox 9 came out. Like I wrote in one of my previous posts I don't use the final releases and today updated to Firefox 10 beta.

So enough with what I use. Lets talk about what is new in Firefox 9 and why should you try it. It's 30% FASTER than Firefox 8 or at least that is the information all over the internet. Everyone says that Mozilla has improved the JavaScript page rendering by 30% which is a good thing. A lot of websites use tons and tons of Javascript code so in my opinion this is definitely a step forward. Again there is nothing new in terms of design and my Firefox themes are compatible with Firefox 10 beta even so it's ok to use them. :)

Finally I want to wish Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all my users, especially those of you who donated. Sure there's not much money but it's something. It's been a good year for my Firefox themes - design improvements, sub-skins, Firefox 4-5-6-7-8-9-10 support and not many bug reports. Thanks for using my themes. Best of luck and happy holidays! :)

Holidays are coming! Christmas is that time of year when families are together and New year is all about parties, fireworks and fun. Why not bring that holiday spirit to your browser? As I have mentioned before in one of my previous posts I am a Firefox theme developer. It is a hobby. A hobby which requires a lot of time and effort. Firefox themes change the appearance of your browser.
I have 10 themes. One of them is called Purple Fox . It has a unique dark design, over 700 000 downloads and around 85 000 users. This summer I have been think about making a Christmas Firefox theme since the current are no longer supported. I wanted a theme but I Firefox themes are not easy to make a support. They require some image editing knowledge + Css and Css3 for the code.
I've been thinking and I decided to create a Christmas Special version of my Purple Fox Firefox theme.  ( preview below )

Personally I think it is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing! What more can you ask for? Awesome background! Dark snowy night in the mountain mixed with some Christmas lights. And lets not forget those candy scrollbars. This comes with 2 sub-skins .
Also the Purple Fox theme pack is absolutely free to install and use. All you have to do is click the green install button and restart Firefox to see the changes.
Since this is a Christmas Special I'll bring back the classic Purple Fox design in early January 2012!
I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I enjoyed creating it! Happy holidays! : )

Here comes the hero of Christmas!

Holidays are coming soon and unfortunately for me and all Firefox theme users we no longer have a custom Christmas theme. All that's left are some Personas backgrounds which in my opinion don't look that great when combined with the default theme. I have mentioned this before in one of my previous posts and what I've written is about to become a reality.

I am making a Christmas version of my Purple Fox theme ( preview below ).

In other words I will try to become the hero of Christmas and create a modified version of my Purple Fox theme which will include this awesome Christmas design. The idea came to me back in July when I was on a holiday with my family high in the Rila mountain.

All I can say is : I am happy with my theme. By far I have only created a custom toolbar background and I'll see if I can add custom Christmas icons to the add-ons manager as well. Also I will be uploading the theme around November 15th. It takes a week or two for an add-on to get reviewed. In other words you'll have a Christmas theme somewhere around November 20th. I will remove the Christmas version in January 2012. After that you should download the Classic Purple Fox theme with the 2 sub-skins.

More info soon. I'm looking forward your comments! : )

Firefox 8 is out! Review in few sentences.

Version 8.0 of our favourite browser has been released. The folks from Mozilla are following the fast release cycle. Soon I will be moving to Firefox 9 beta but I thought it would be nice to make a post about what is new in Firefox 8 is a few short sentences.

1. Again there are no changes in design so it safe to update. My themes are compatible. Hope you like them.
2. Speed has been slightly improved compared to version 7. It feels a bit faster.
3. Guys from Mozilla fixed some bugs

What's new in Firefox 8:

The latest version of Firefox has the following changes:

• Add-ons installed by third party programs are now disabled by default
• Added a one-time add-on selection dialog to manage previously installed add-ons
• Added Twitter to the search bar for select locales. Additional locale support will be added in the future
• Added a preference to load tabs on demand, improving start-up time when windows are restored
• Improved performance and memory handling when using <audio> and <video> elements
• Added CORS support for cross-domain textures in WebGL
• Added support for HTML5 context menus
• Added support for insertAdjacentHTML
• Improved CSS hyphen support for many languages
• Improved WebSocket support
• Fixed several stability issues
• Fixed several security issues

Please see the complete list of changes in this version. Web and extension developers should also view the curated list of platform changes. You may also be interested in the list of changes in the previous version.

That's basically all users. Changes are not that big but I guess Mozilla is trying to take small steps in Firefox development. I still think that this should be version 4.0.4 but hey I'm just a theme developer. I can't do anything about this.

Have a nice day! : )

One million Green Fox downloads

My first post this month and I have some awesome news. Green Fox has reached 1 million downloads. Thank you very much for trying the theme and special thanks to those 50 000 people who are using it. First Blue Fox reached 1 million, after that Bloody Red and Pink Fox and now Green Fox. I sure am happy. I've been waiting a lot. Close to 1 million downloads is Purple Fox. It has 700 000 downloads and nearly 100 000. Again thanks for for using my themes and BIG thanks to those who have donated . : )

Web - Goodies slowly growing and improving !

I haven't been posing anything on my blog lately and somehow I felt that I need to update you visitors and theme users out there.

Not much work has been put in theme development lately. Sure there are some things which I need to work on but for the last 2 weeks or something I've been focusing on my website http://web-goodies.comli.com/ With it I'm trying to collect video tutorials from the internet and put them in one place. Hopefully these tutorials will help you learn how to create your own website or improve you web-design or image editing skills.

If you have visited before you'll notice the difference. Each page has more content, new tutorials have better description, I've added a comments section (users can use their tweeter, facebook or google + accounts to comment), share buttons, floating menus, improved backgrounds and much more. 

Design before :
http://web-goodies.comli.com/lessons/gimptuts/gimp-lesson-1.html

Design now :
http://web-goodies.comli.com/lessons/csstuts/css-lesson-1.html

As written in the title this site is slowly growing. It has 64 tutorials and nearly 100 pages. I am almost done with the updates and after that I'll probably pay more attention on theme development again. I need to fix few things in Orange and Pink Fox.

That's all for now. Be sure to check the site :  http://web-goodies.comli.com/
Have a nice day! : )

Custom themes and Personas at the same time is possible!

I haven't been posting anything here last week but now I have found something which may sound interesting to you. I've been searching Firefox stuff on the internet a lot lately. I love visiting mozillazine.org .People are friendly and there's always someone who can help you when you have problems with Firefox, extensions or theme development ect.

While reading the theme development forums I've come across an interesting article called: Custom themes and Personas at the same time is possible!

When I first saw the title I said to myself this probably requires some Firefox modifications but I was surprised to see that  a developer with a nick name David.Vincent has developed and add-on which allows you to use a custom theme and a personas skin at the same time. I tried it and it works. There's only one tiny problem. It requires multiple restarts. Anyway the add-on is called Toggle Persona and you can download it from the Mozilla add-ons site or by clicking here : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-persona/

Here's how to use it :

This simple add-on install a button in the add-on bar.
With this button you can enable/disable Personas with one click (Grey : Persona disable - Blue : Persona enable).
This add-on works with default Firefox theme and all other themes (if they support Personas).

Instructions for personas for all themes :
* Choose a Personas in the galery (or in your themes manager if you already have downloaded personas)
* Restart Firefox.
* Select your theme in the theme manager.
* Restart Firefox.
* Enable Persona by clicking on the add-on bar button ('P' button icon must be blue).
* Restart Firefox.
* That's all. You have now a new style theme.
If you want to test an other persona, you must repeat all the steps from the beginning.

This add-on avoid to enter in the 'about:config' and toggle the preference 'lightweightThemes.isThemeSelected' to true. For novice users it is better, and confirmed users will save time.

If you have no Persona in the Themes Manager, the button will stay blue even if you click on it. It is not a bug.

If you don't want Persona display just for a moment, disable it with the button. Restart Firefox.
When you want to come back to the Persona, no need to reinstall it. You have just to enable Persona with the button. Restart Firefox.
 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see the developer has given very detailed information about how to use Toggle Persona. I tried it and everything works great! Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-persona/ ,give the add-on a try and give the developer credit (write a review or something) .He did a really really nice job. It's not easy to create add-ons, trust me! : )

Download Toggle Persona from : HERE!

---------------------------------------------------------------------
*Added two new awesome Bloody Red designs
*Fixed bug with nav-buttons in add-ons manager

Over 50 tutorials on web-goodies!

You all probably know that I develop themes for Firefox. That's cool and all but at the same time I have been working on my website called Web Goodies. I have uploaded over 50 tutorials on it. The idea of this site is to collect video tutorials from the internet and put them in one place so that you can learn or improve you web design or image editing skills! : ) This is a perfect opportunity to thank all youtube users who gave me permission to upload their videos. The site has html, css, javascript, jquery, sony vegas, photoshop, gimp and more tutorials. Soon I'll start a php tutorials series.

Hope you like what I'm doing. Leave a comment if you have something to ask or just want to give your opinion. Link to Web-Goodies : http://web-goodies.comli.com/

Happy holidays Mozilla! Chrome beats Firefox on December?

I have been following this whole who's the most popular browser statics thing and recently I have come across something interesting. The internet is full with topics such as Chrome beats Firefox on December 2011. Here's a popularity diagram which shows how many people worldwide use IE, Firefox, Chome and other browsers.

I've taken the text in italics from a topic on the internet :
If you’ll check statcounter’s global stat graph, you can see the plotted green line (chrome) is growing steadily for the previous years hitting 23.6% share (we’re talking the percentage of worldwide users here) while Firefox continues to dip. If the projections are correct, we should expect Google’s browser to beat Firefox on December having a share of 26.6% while Mozilla Firefox at 25.3%.

However, it’s not clear though if this chart represents the totality of all Chrome versions and Firefox releases including 3.5. Then again, this is not really a cause of surprise since Chrome already beat the orange browser in UK last July.

If you can still remember, we reported on December 2009 that Firefox 3.5 is the most popular browser at that time. But within a span of two years, it’s bound to lose its spot to number 3 already. Obviously, everyone’s wondering if there’s a chance Chrome will beat Internet Explorer staying ahead on the lead at 41% in the near future.

We’ll see! 


The text in italics has been taken from http://pinoytutorial.com but you can find the same articles all over the internet.


My opinion is that Mozilla should do something about this. They should stop coping design of other browsers and come up with something fresh and new, something which nobody has experienced yet. I don't like Chrome because it's way too simple looking and it is not that fast compared to Firefox as well. On the other hand in Firefox you can change the appearance however you like. Tabs on top - 2 clicks and bam. Tiny menu - 2 clicks and bam you have it.

What's your opinion on this? Will Chrome be the 2nd most popular browser after IE? Leave your interesting responses in the comments below! : )

Firefox 10 Nightly Released

After they released Firefox 7.0.1 Mozilla released Firefox 10 nightly. Firefox 8 moved to Beta channel, and Firefox 9 moved to Aurora channel. Firefox 10 has already landed to the nightly channel of Firefox. The most recent nightly build version is Firefox 10.0a1 (alpha).

Compared to Firefox 9 Firefox 10 nightly has nothing new for now besides the version number change. Firefox team has a long list of new features for the Firefox 10. Some of them currently being considered by the team are : Add-ons default to compatible, plugincheck functionality in add-on manager panel, improved display of location bar results etc. Firefox Mobile may get new features like Text Readability, Flash support (on Android platform) etc. 

Along with these features, the final version of Firefox 10 will bring many new tools for developers like Console Object Completion, more powerful and integrated Code Editor, Style Inspector and Editor. 

Firefox 8 beta short review!

Been using Firefox 8 beta for 24 hours. Here are my first impressions!

Compared to Firefox 7 Firefox 8 beta doesn't feel faster. It actually feels the same as Firefox 7. Maybe there are some small improvements when it comes to speed but when I was using Firefox 6 beta it felt much faster than Firefox 5. Same goes for Firefox 7. When I was using the beta it felt much quicker than Firefox 6.

The are no design changes as well. Maybe mozilla are focusing more on performance rather than design. They are probably fixing known issues and stuff. The new and cool thing I've noticed is the new tab animation when you have 3-4 or more open tabs. If you want to move the active tab left or right it doesn't drop like it used to be. It moves the inactive tab. It's a bit hard to explain. You have to see it yourself. Another thing I've seen on the internet is that it's faster on 64bit machines. I'm running a 32bit windows but if you have 64bit machine and you feel any difference in performance in Firefox 8 beta let us know by sharing your thoughts in the comments below! 

Bloody Red version 7.0.19.09.11 reviewed. More soon!

Version 7.0.19.09.11 of Bloody Red has been reviewed. It includes 2 awesome Bloody Red skins and many bug fixes. If you want to learn how to use the new skins click here : http://firefox-goodies.net63.net/sub-skins/bloody-red-sub-skins.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New version of Bloody Red coming soon. It is going to include 2 more Bloody Red skins.

One of them has the same design as Purple Fox skin 2 but it looks nice with Bloody Red as well so I'm making it a 3rd Bloody Red skin. (see image below)

The second new Bloody Red design has this nice looking rainbow effect. I'll cover how to use all the new designs in another post as soon as I upload theme on the Mozilla Firefox site.

Bloody Red new skin 2 - rainbow effect

Thanks all for now. Enjoy! : )

Firefox 7 is out! Review in few short sentences!

Yup today Mozilla released Firefox 7 and they are definitely following the new release schedule. My first impressions of Firefox 7 is not the design but the performance. In terms of design nothing has been changed but these people have improved the speed. I don't know how much compared to Firefox 5 or 6 but you can definitely feel that they've made our favourite browser faster.

Not only that but the start-up time has been improved as well. Don't know how faster but I'm sure that some people will stop complaining that Firefox starts slow.

Another good thing is that most add-ons which worked with Firefox 6 work great with Firefox 7. You can get Add-ons and Themes by opening the Add-ons Manager, or by visiting the Add-ons Web site. Add-ons installed with previous versions of Firefox may not yet have been updated by their authors to work with this Firefox. If you wish to help test Add-ons, please install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter - your favorite Add-on author will appreciate it!

Here are the official release notes :

• Drastically improved memory handling for certain use cases
• Added a new rendering backend to speed up Canvas operations on Windows systems
• Bookmark and password changes now sync almost instantly when using Firefox Sync
• The 'http://' URL prefix is now hidden by default
• Added support for text-overflow: ellipsis
• Added support for the Web Timing specification
• Enhanced support for MathML
• The WebSocket protocol has been updated from version 7 to version 8
• Added an opt-in system for users to send performance data back to Mozilla to improve future versions of Firefox
• Fixed several stability issues
• Fixed several security issues

Please see the complete list of changes in this version. Web and extension developers should also view the curated list of platform changes. You may also be interested in the list of changes in the previous version.

By far I'm satisfied with the improvements in performance. Good job Firefox developers. Keep up the great work. For all of you who don't like what they are doing all I can say is : If you don't like it don't use it!

Enjoy and have a nice day! : ) Tweet

Firefox 7 coming tomorrow.

According to Mozilla Firefox 7 should be released tomorrow. Currently I'm using the beta and it definitely starts and loads pages faster. Personally I don't expect anything new in terms or performance or design. They are probably going to fix a few more bugs in the final release.

Meanwhile all my Firefox themes support Firefox 7 and 8 alpha. Everything works and looks fine. Latest versions of Sky Pilot and Purple Fox which includes 2 awesome new designs have been approved and are now available on the Mozilla add-ons site. Hope you like the new designs and bug fixes.

Next on the update list is Orange Fox and I'm working on a 3rd Bloody Red sub-skin ( see post below ) which should be released as soon as version 7.0.19.09.11 gets reviewed. Hope you like what I'm doing and despite the fact that I have less time to work on themes I'm doing the best I can to keep my themes compatible with newer Firefox versions.

Enjoy and please donate if you can. Even the smallest donation helps. If you want to help you can donate by clicking the pay pal button on the left. Thanks!

3rd Bloody Red sub-skin coming soon!

Users! New Bloody Red sub-skin as soon as version 7.0.19.09.11 gets reviewed!
The design is the same as Purple Fox skin 2 but it looks nice with Bloody Red as well so I'm making it a 3rd Bloody Red skin. I'll try to add new images to the add-ons manager as well.

Wish me luck and donate if you can. It helps a lot. Version 7.0.19.09.11 is still awaiting the editors review but you can download it from  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bloody-red-theme/versions/

Preview of 3rd Bloody Red sub skin :

I'm looking for Mac and Windows 7 testers

Like my themes? Want to help future development and platform support?

I am looking for people who own Windows 7 or Mac and are interested in being part of Firefox theme development. Development requires testing and it is nice if I have all platforms to test my themes but unfortunately I don't and I don't have the money to buy a new PC with Windows 7 or a Mac. So if you own one of these platforms and want to help please let me know by emailing to whitebluepc@abv.bg

Another way you can help is by donating. I'm raising money to buy a new machine because the one I own is 6 years old and the performance is terrible. So if you want to donate just click on the donate button below.

Bloody Red theme pack - 3 themes in one!

Bloody Red theme pack is finally here! Latest version (7.0.19.09.11) includes 2 more Bloody Red skins, new tab group window design and few minor bug fixes.

When you download the theme from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/a-bloody-red-theme/versions/ you install the Bloody Red classic design which you might be familiar with. Here's how to use the other two awesome looking new Bloody Red designs!

To use the subskin you need to add a line of code to your userChrome.css document. It's really simple. userChrome.css is a file that you can edit to tweak the appearance of Firefox. When Firefox starts up, it reads this file and then applies any commands you may have added to this file.

The file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.tea\chrome\ . If you don't have it create a new document with notepad and name it userChrome.css .After that paste in the directory written above.

Bloody Red has two lines of code which can add. You can add one at a time. You can't use the two new designs at the same time.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to use the Bloody Red Lava design (image on the right) simple add this line of code to your userChrome.css document!

@import url("chrome://browser/skin/skins/skin1.css");

If Firefox is open close and start it again to see the changes. If your Firefox is already closed just paste the code, start it and you shall see the difference.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Same goes for design 2 - Bloody Red gradient (image on the left). Simply add this code to your userChrome.css document.

@import url("chrome://browser/skin/skins/skin2.css");

If Firefox is open close and start it again to see the changes. If your Firefox is already closed just paste the code, start it and you shall see the changes.

Bloody Red next on the update list!

Bloody Red lava

I'm starting work on new version of Bloody Red. I'll fix a lot of Firefox 6 and above related bugs like the url color, broken categories icons in the add-ons manager and more.

Also I'll try to add the Bloody Red Lava design to the theme. Users will be able to use it by placing a line of code in their userChrome.css document like they do with Purple Fox (to learn more about the userChrome.css document see the article below)

Bloody Red lava used to be available for users you donated but now it's free and you can download it from HERE This is a like a new theme and has nothing to do with the original Bloody Red. The icons and the design are new but with this next version you decide which design to use by adding or removing the line of code from your userChrome document.

That's all for now. More news soon! : )

Presenting Purple Fox skin 2!

Honestly I have no idea how many people read my blog or visit my websites because I still have no comments, followers or likes and stuff but who knows maybe there are Purple Fox fans somewhere around. Second Purple Fox skin is complete. There are few more things I want to fix before releasing the theme.

Next version of Purple Fox will include the following features :
*Purple Fox classic skin with minor bug fixes and improvements
*Two new skins which can be activated by placing a line of code in your userChrome.css document (more about how to do that in future article when I release the new version.)

Here's an image of Skin 2 :

Less time for themes till July 2012!

I have bad news for you users.My last year at school has started. From this day probably till July I'll have less time to work on my themes. I have exams at the end of the year and as much as I don't like exams and school I have to focus on that for awhile. I'll try to support the themes as well. There might be slight delays but I'll try to make them compatible with newer versions of Firefox as soon as possible.

Please be patient and try to understand cuz I don't think some people do. Real life is more important than a Firefox theme!

Just wish me luck and hope that everything goes fine. Tonight I'll reveal the second Purple Fox skin. That's all for now. Have a nice day! :-)

Purple Fox subskins?

Purple Fox subskin 1

I've always wanted to make subskins for some of my themes and this may become possible in the near future.I have the design and all that's needed is some coding.

I've make 2 more Purple Fox designs.You can see the first one on the left.It has a nice lighter design with grey patters.I'll reveal the second one tomorrow but I've been working on this and hopefully I'll release it soon.Hope there are no problems with the coding.Users can enable the new designs by placing a line of code in their userChrome.css file. (more information about that soon)

Another thing I want to say is that if everything runs fine I'll probably try to implement the Purple Fox Christmas design as a 4th subskin in the future.I haven't come up with the design yet and it is probably going to be really complicated so I may not release it as a subskin but we'll see in the future.I'm not even sure for the Christmas design yet but I thought it'd be nice to give some info about how the development of theme shall continue.

Purple Fox theme with new preview image!

Purple Fox - new preview image!

Unfortunately for the last month Purple Fox downloads when down from 1700 to less than 400 which is not good for me. This used to be one of my most popular themes back in the Firefox 4 nad 5 days. Sometimes a theme can be really bad and get a lot downloads and users because of the preview image. I decided to change it.
I've added a nice dark purple-gray background, the logo and the navigation as a preview. In my case I'm having an awesome theme and a preview so I hope that it'll help attract more people to download purple fox. Hope you like it as much as I do. Wish me luck :_)

Sky Pilot background bug almost fixed!

Bug almost fixed.Thanks to some image editing, pixel magic and positioning.What's left you may ask?Well the other side is still terrible.I have and idea how to fix it.Keep your fingers crossed.Also the background is lighter. Another problem is that I know where the problem is but the code is from the old theme and I'm finding difficulties with editing it that's why I'm trying other methods which seem to work for now. : )

Back from fishing!Working on Sky Pilot update!

People I love fishing!It's a bit wild and I feel really relaxed and focused while doing that.Yesterdays was awesome.It started bad but in the end everything turned out to be awesome.For some reason I couldn't sleep well that night and in the morning I had to go to my lessons class (not sure if you'll understand but let's say I had work to do) and than I went fishing.It's a bit of a coincidence.6th September is the day where 126 years ago the south and north parts of Bulgaria united.The dam is named that way and it was nice.I caught a predator fish.The one on the pic has teeth and it can bite.After I came home there were fireworks because of 6th of September


So enough personal stuff and lets get to something you may be interested in.Like I said yesterday was awesome.There was this user (won't mention the name cuz I don't want people to spam in social networks) who donated a good amount of money and gave me the motivation to release a new version of Sky Pilot.There are tons of things fixed and still the tab background is a pain in the *ss.Currently there are 3 things I want to fix one of which I have no idea how for now (tab background) one which I haven't looked for a way to fix yet and a simple one which takes a bit of time.


That's all for now.Enjoy! : )
