If you are a frequent user of Firefox, and need speedier access to your favorite websites, then you may want to check out Desktop. Desktop is a Firefox add-on that allows you to set web pages as thumbnails or widgets in the new tab page. You can place them anywhere on the page by drag & drop,
and also create sub-folders. The layout you create will be displayed in
every new tab you open. Visual effects can be applied by setting a
background image for the new tab page in Firefox.
When you drag & drop the thumbnails,
a grid is displayed, enabling you to neatly place the thumbnails at
equal distances for a more decent look. A limitation for sub-folders is
that you cannot name them, but an image can be assigned to each in
order to remember what the folder contains.
Desktop’s preferences allow you to set the background for
the page and even clear it. The background images can be displayed in
two particular styles: Stretch or Tile. You may also change the Grid Size, helpful for more accuracy when placing widgets.
Right-clicking the grid displays a context menu with the Add, Lock and Preferences options. Using the Add option, you can either add a Thumbnail or a Folder.
A properties window is displayed, allowing you to enter the URL of any
web page you want to store, or select from the drop down list. You can
also add Google search to the new tab page.
Desktop is a very useful add-on, providing quick access to your
most-visited websites. It’s free and we verified it to work on Firefox
7.0.1.
