Rather useful collection - a mixture of add-ons, shortcuts and fixes:

* How to fix Firefox annoyances | Ghacks
* Mozilla Firefox Cheat Sheet | Ghacks
Some potential/real timesavers there.

Necro Thread Rise!

Today I was back thinking about MindMaps, specifically in relation to web pages. My original idea was hopefully to find something that automatically tracked the pages you visited and made a "mind map" out of them with sister-nodes for the same site, and branches for outbound links.

However, a brief review of the various map programs all seemed you want you to manually structure your tree. So I settled for a FireFox plugin called Session History Tree.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-history-tree/?src=api#install-beta

Specifically, under the "Developer Channel" down at the bottom, look for the Beta version.

So while not perfect, it at least gives you a running chain of the pages you visit. It does keep the "alternate pages" but it's not so clear there which ones do. But at least it takes a little strain off remembering where all you went in what chain of logic.

My suggestion is to use it Per Tab when you have a big new branch to follow of stuff to look at.

btw anyone know how to specify an FTP port other than default for SyncPlaces? Right now I'm syncing to local .json file.  But it would be cool to use ftp. I don't see anywhere to put a port number in any of the forms.

IainB:
Just posted for cross-reference and completeness:
@jity2: just stumbled upon this thread whilst searching DC Forum for references to Yahoo! Pipes.

To get what you want I use an alternative that I always use for sites that do not have an RSS feed but that I want to keep informed by (and no, I don't want email alerts) - it's a nifty Firefox extension called UpdateScanner

EDIT 2014-03-06: Link is now moved to Firefox add-ons: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/update-scanner/
I suggest you try it out (assuming that you haven't tried it out already).
