NotAwesomeBar is an experimental Firefox extension capable of preventing those web sites you’ll rather prefer not to appear on Firefox’s AwesomeBar from doing so.
All you have to do is install the add-on, restart Firefox, thence each time you do a bookmark simply check the “Hide from AwesomeBar Searches” now found on the bookmark dialog box and that web site won’t show up on the AwesomeBar.
You can also retroactively deal with “older” bookmarks. Right-click on them, take “Properties” and drop the “NotAwesome” tag into the Tags field and “Save”. Use the Bookmark Manager if you have several “notawesome” bookmarks to fix.
NotAwesome is still in the experimental stage. It works on Firefox 3.0 and higher version.

Twitter adds power to your web browser by rolling out new design tweaks to the web browser that are quickly noticeable when you go to a user’s profile page. Formerly the ‘Follow’ button was the only option under the username, but now there is a newly designed follow button, and close to it there is a drop-down menu button that when clicked reveals the menu “@Mention”, “Direct Message”, “Unfollow”, “Block”. The “Direct Message” is present only when the Twitter user follows you back.
Added too the above, popular trending topics might also have a short explanation about why it is trending topic, as TechCrunch reports. When i tried that only the ‘Jay-Z’ search gave a short explanation. Unfortunately Kanye West is out of hot trends.
Lastly the default avatar for those users that do not personalize their avatars by uploading a proper profile image is now, guess what, a little Twitter Bird.
