Mac, Linux, Windows: Firefox by default offers a white space when you open a new tab. Chromium for example by default opens the Speed Dials. If you’re not happy with Firefox’s white space tab thing than grab NewTabURL.
This extension offers three possibilities;
it lets you open a custom URL when opening a new tab;
It can load what ever is in your clipboard and lastly you can tell Firefox to go by its default, that is to open a white tab.
The ‘Select location bar after loading the new tab’ option highlights the address bar when a new tab is opened, so you can start typing-in a new URL. – That’s all folks!!!
NewTabURL is Firefox extension that works on all platforms; Windows, Mac and Linux.

For Windows, Mac and Linux: In Adapting Greasemonkey UserScripts for Opera 10 Browser I showed you how to manually install User Scripts in the Opera Browser.

Installing and managing userscripts was so manual in Opera browser, unlike in Firefox and Chrome/Chromium where you can enable/disable Greasemonkey and its scripts with just a click or two.
With Opera Unite’s (UJS) User Script Manager the Opera Browser is on a par with Firefox and Google Chrome /Chromium – at least when it comes to handling user scripts. UJS Manager for Opera Unite installs User Scripts as extensions, the Chrome-like way. More»

Linux users that want to run Google Chrome on their “healthy” systems no longer have to get the unstable Google Chrome Development Build – Google has provided a less-unstable beta for Linux and Mac users. This beta doesn’t have all the features available to Chrome on Windows like the --purge-memory-button switch that adds a ‘Purge memory’ button to the Task Manager – it helps to free up your memory. Google Chrome for Linux Beta is the same version (4.0.249.30) with the cutting-edge Chrome development builds. More»
