The only element that is currently displayed in Firefox's Title Bar is the one-button menu. While it won't be there for much longer, I always felt that displaying only the menu button there was a colossal waste of space.If you have used Firefox for a while you do know that it is possible to customize what appears on various toolbars, but the title bar is exempt from that cool feature.Personal Titlebar changes that. Once installed in the browser, you will immediately notice that it adds the menubar, that is the menu that is displayed when you hit the Alt-key, to it so that you get direct access to the items here. This in itself can be useful as the single menu button does not list all the items that the menu bar lists.What is probably more interesting than that is the ability to add icons and other elements of the browser to that bar so that they appear in the title bar of the browser.Doing so may be useful for a number of reasons:You can move all icons from the browser's add-on bar to the title bar and hide the add-on bar afterwards.You can move elements to it that you prefer to access and see on the top of the browser.You can use the space to add items that you would not add to the browser UI otherwise.To customize the selection select View > Toolbars > Customize from the menu. A menu appears on the screen displaying icons and elements that are not used currently in the browser. You can drag and drop any element from the menu and most elements that are already displayed in the browser UI to the menu bar so that it is displayed there from that moment on.The extension makes available additional features that you may like:You can use the F10 key to toggle the menu on and offYou can add the new "titlebar text" element to the titlebar so that the title of the active page is always shown in the browser (it is by default only shown in the tab, and often cut because of limited space).The default text style makes the menu items hard to read. To change that do the following:Type about:config into the browser's address bar and hit enter.Search for personaltitle and hit enter.Double-click the preference extensions.personaltitlebar.textcolor to set it to false. This removes the style effect from the text and displays it the same way as you see on the screenshot above.The extensions.personaltitlebar.titletext.align defines the position of text on the bar. The default value 0 aligns it to the left, 1 to the center, and 2 to the right of the bar.Personal Titlebar is a useful add-on for the Firefox web browser even if you only want to add icons to the titlebar and hide the menu all the time.The post Make better use of Firefox’s Title Bar with Personal Titlebar appeared first on gHacks Technology News | Latest Tech News, Software And Tutorials.

Sony Entertainment Network web store launching in Japan on May 29th -

Apple did something really weird last year, they launched two full sized iPads. Now granted, anyone who has ever played with a third generation iPad will tell you that it just wasn’t as smooth as the second gen model. That was due to the poor Apple chip inside struggling to cope with the new screen resolution. In that respect, then yes, the fourth generation iPad makes a lot of sense. Now that we’re approaching the second half of the year though, it’s time to talk about the newer, better, brighter, lighter fifth gen iPad. Continue reading →

The Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 will launch on Verizon this Thursday the 23rd of May, the handset recently went up for pre-order and now it looks like Verizon has started shipping out the handset to customers who pre-ordered the device.

A new variation on Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 has leaked, the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Active, with the quadcore 1.9GHz smartphone cropping up in Croatia ahead of an official release. The slightly aesthetically-redesigned phone, which apparently has physical menu and back buttons as well as what looks to be a more rugged rear casing, has turned up at GSMArena, having been previewed on a Samsung WhatON app update first, complete with some other new twists on the Samsung flagship. That update – to the remote control software Samsung uses to turn its phones and tablets into universal remotes – name-checked not only the Galaxy S 4 Active but two other handsets. Version 5.0.4 of the software now has support for the S4 Mega and S4 mini, according to this screenshot from SamMobile; Samsung since updated the changelog to remove any mention of the unannounced phones. Judging by the AnTuTu benchmarking results run on the Galaxy S 4 Active (GT-I9295) handset in the wild, the phone sticks closely to the pattern already set by the Galaxy S 4. There’s a 1920 x 1080 Full HD display running at 480 dpi along with Adreno 320 graphics; according to the person who shot the photos, it’s a 5-inch device, too. In fact, the big change is expected to be in how the phone is put together. Rather than the much-criticized plastic casing of the existing Galaxy S 4, the Active version is believed to use metal. There’s also talk of a special waterproof coating to protect against splashes, with Samsung tipped to be relying on the P2i nano-coating which makes even the circuitboards water-resilient. As for the S4 mini, a good guess would be a smaller version – likely with pared back specifications – of the regular S4. Samsung has already tried this once before, with the Galaxy S III Mini, though the underwhelming specifications made it more of a name cash-in rather than a true shrunken version of the flagship. Finally, the S4 Mega presumably sees the regular S4 head in the other direction, getting even bigger. That could mean a bigger display – though that would be getting close to the size of the Galaxy Note II, which itself may be getting larger in its third generation expected to launch later in the year – or it might mean a larger battery. Alternatively, Samsung might step up to 5.5-inches and, since it would presumably lack a stylus, more closely compete with the LG Optimus G Pro.
