In the event that something goes wrong with a new extension or theme you installed, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode. Safe Mode does not load any extensions and comes up with the default theme. This way you can uninstall the offending extension or theme and get things back to normal.
To enter safe mode: On Windows go to”Start -> Run” and running:
“C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” -safe-mode
On Linux, you can go to your Terminal and run:
/path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
On Mac OS X, it will look like:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -safe-mode

With all the talk about del.icio.us on this site lately, I don’t want to leave out any Linux users, so I found Gnomolicious, a GNOME applet that allows you to post links to del.icio.us. It’s not exactly perfect, or full of features, but Gnomolicious but it gets the job done. Check out the project page for detailed download and installation instructions, as well as plenty of screenshots.

We promised more Linux content and we intend to deliver. First on the list is the oft requested, GMailFS. We’ve discussed the GMail Drive for Windows before, but this application will let you access files on your GMail account in Linux, albeit via the command line.
