Adapting Firefox to run on netbooks lower resolutions

First came the Asus EEE, then reappeared Wind, and soon we simply overwhelm relatively cheap light and compact devices. But let's be honest, the resolution of 1024x600 is pretty darn small for comfortable working, especially after your main screen. Let's see how Lee Mathews coped with the task of expanding the screen space in its Firefox.

The first step is to use the opportunities that exist in the of Firefox, for example:

• Disable status bar. Yes, it is needed to navigate and allows you to navigate, but harmful sites have long since learned to write to harmless things, so won the pixels is probably worth it.
• Customize the toolbar to show small iconsIt will give you a few more pixels.
• Now you can take and bookmarks bar. If you still do not use the online service for bookmarking - it's time to start. google bookmarks and helping to work with them GMarks addon or another popular service - Foxmarks, Able not only to turn a set of your bookmarks in one icon, but also help to keep your bookmarks synchronized between different computers.

• The next step is to install the plugin Hide Menubar. He adds a little bit Firefox is now customary for IE amenities - menu only appears when you need it.
• And the last, but very effective way can be simple pressing F11In order to expand the page in full screen, hiding unnecessary in general header.

As you can see Lee, is really able to create more space, I'd add that it is not ready to give up completely on Bookmark bar, but yarazmestil and a menu bar and a couple of buttons, and bookmarks bar with an address field and a search in one line. In addition, the address field can be removed and, if you agree to by entering the address, press Ctrl + L. Enter the address of the pop-up window, and you're in business.

With the search field all a little differently, but can you enjoy and what makes Firefox on Ctrl + F.
