Fullerscreen 2.0 for Firefox: now with slideshows

Fullerscreen 2.0
Fullerscreen is a Firefox add-on that supercharges your browser's full-screen mode. While Firefox has a built in full-screen mode that pops up when you hit F11, it really just makes some of your toolbars go away. Fullerscreen makes them all disappear.

This weekend, Daniel Glazman released Fullerscreen 2.0. While the original program didn't really leave much room for improvement (what was he going to do, design a program that makes your monitor larger?) Glazman has added a new feature: slideshow support.

If you visit a page that's formatted for slideshows, when you press F11, Firefox will ask if you want to enter slideshow mode. You'll then be able to navigate a simple presentation with your keyboard's arrow keys. Slideshows are pretty easy to design, and in fact, you can watch a slideshow that describes the process. But unless Fullerscreen becomes fully integrated into a future Firefox release, I can't see many web designers actually creating slideshows designed for this particular add-on.

Fullerscreen: Firefox add-on of the day

FullerScreen
You probably already know that Firefox has a "full-screen" mode. If you hit F11, the Windows taskbar will disappear, as will the very top toolbar in Firefox. This lets you squeeze a little bit more text onto your screen.

But you can do better. Nvu lead engineer Daniel Glazman has developed a Firefox add-on called FullerScreen. Once you install it, hitting F11 will make everything but the web page you're currently looking at disappear.

But wait, you say, I need my tabs and menu bars. Well, you could always just hit F11 to toggle back and forth between fullscreen and windowed mode. But if you move your cursor over the top of the screen, you'll see your toolbars and tabs. Ditto for the bottom of the screen.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
