you spend so much time using your Web browser these days that switching applications seems like a major distraction? Thankfully, some developers are creating extensions that bring the applications to you. One of my favorites is FoxyTunes, which integrates your favorite music player into Firefox by adding a slim toolbar that stays out of the way. The toolbar offers direct access to everything you need: Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, and Previous/Next song, which navigate through your current playlist. FoxyTunes works with all the popular music players, including WinAmp, iTunes, Windows Media Player, and RealPlayer. (See http://foxytunes.org/firefox/features.html#supportedplayers for a complete list of supported players.) How it works After installing FoxyTunes, you see a small toolbar in the bottom-right corner containing a few different sets of buttons (see Figure 22-4). You can hover over a button to see its purpose, so I mention only the important ones here. You can also see a handful of tiny black arrows. Click these arrows to expand the toolbar and see additional controls or information. For example, the first black arrow slides out a tray displaying the name of the current song. Figure 22-4: The slim, unobtrusive FoxyTunes toolbar is an audiophile's dream. The first button opens the FoxyTunes menu. Click it, choose Player Select, and then choose your music player. The next set of buttons offers access to familiar commands like Previous/Next Track and Play and should be self-explanatory. Note that Previous/Next Track navigate through the playlist in your player if one exists. Some players, such as iTunes, must be open to be controlled by FoxyTunes. The extension will automatically launch a player when necessary (such as when you click Play). If you don't want the player to clutter up your screen, you can tell FoxyTunes to hide (but not close) it with the Hide Player button. Tip If you don't like the FoxyTunes bar in the bottom-right corner of the screen, you can move it. Simply move the mouse pointer to the first black arrow on the toolbar and when it turns into a pointing hand, begin dragging the toolbar to the desired location on any of Firefox's toolbars.

You decide where to go, but when you get there, the site owner controls the experience. Greasemonkey allows you to customize Web sites to your liking. Think of it as your interior decorator for the Web: You can get inside other people's pages and move, redesign, or remove what's on them. You can even add to them. For example, some Greasemonkey users customize Google to show image previews of each search result, which helps you decide whether a result is any good before you waste time clicking through to it. Of course, none of your changes affect other visitors to the page. Greasemonkey is the tool that makes this possible. Before you can start surfing the Web your way, you need to tell Greasemonkey what "your way" is. This is
