I am a Firefox user and also a Pocket user. I am on the same lines as the author. Pocket should not be bundled into Firefox. It should be an extension (hint: featured extension).


I would also recommend HomeBrew - a clean package manager for mac.

http://brew.sh/


very very nice to have

VLC - for watching movies

iTerm - A better terminal

Alfred - Productivity application

Flux - justgetflux.com

Text editors (Get 1 or more) Textmate or Text wrangler or Sublime text

Other nice to have software: Skype Adium Colloquy - if you use IRC chat


Also, fix command might help

$ fc


1. I connect to https://encrypted.google.com/ on Firefox and the certificate says it is verified by SuperFish.

2. Also, my broswer.newtab.url was changed to some URL (http://homepage-web.com/?s=lenovo&m=tab) instead of the default about:newtab

Steps to remove VisualDiscovery / Superfish

1. Home menu, search for Administrator tools 2. Open services 3. Find the VisualDiscovery service. Stop the service. Right click properties. Set "Startup type" to Disabled

4. Start -> Control panel 5. Add/ remove programs 6. Find Superfish and uninstall


From what I understand, you need to go one further and spelunk through your local machine certificate stores and remove any Superfish certificates. They are not uninstalled.


Cool. A demo or screenshots would be really nice.


I know. They're the next thing on my todo list.


Firebug: Make testing hover and active classes easier.


Good work.


Good work. What did you use to build it?


On the client mostly jQueryUI, qq-upload and some little jQuery plugins. On the server my usual PHP setup (Smarty, phpThumb) and the awesome instagraph library for the filters (https://github.com/webarto/instagraph)
