Firefox die-hards know that our favorite browser is the most fun(ctional) with add-ons like Greasemonkey that allow you to customize how sites look and behave. Problem is, finding the best (and safest) scripts is a bit of a challenge. A few months ago, the folks at Lifehacker assembled the best Greasemonkey scripts for Gmail into a package called Better Gmail. One easy install, one preference box to turn scripts on and off.
Now they’re doing the same for Google Calendar, with the introduction of Better GCal. Same easy installation, same easy preference window. Only a few modifications to choose from in this first release. But if it’s anything like the Gmail version, expect to see more functionality added in as the package develops. Current add-in includes:
See current time line: In day/week views, see where you are with a red line.
Sidebar to-do list: This isn’t integration with Remember the Milk or any other task manager. The tasks are stored in the calendar.
Collapse Header and Sidebar: Helpful for small monitors.

I can’t do without firefox ,but IE has added some new features like viewing all the tabs open in a thumbnail and a better organization.I am still routing for firefox , but would love them to add those features to the browser.
I guess it just the ultimate dream of any web worker to make everyone use Firefox =) Well, maybe just mine. Anyway, I was using IE7 for a while after upgrading to Vista, but returned back to Firefox. It just feels right.
