Firefox¶

Firefox Plugin¶

This plugin allows you to search your Firefox bookmarks and history directly from Quicksilver. It also provides a "Current Web Page (Firefox)" proxy object - allowing you to easily manipulate the current Firefox Web Page.

Firefox App →¶

You can → right arrow in to the Firefox.app application to show a list of History, Bookmarks and Current Web page. This may be more convenient than adding all your Firefox entries to your catalog.

Catalog Entries¶

Under the Firefox entry, you will find the following two subentries:

Firefox Bookmarks includes all the URLs you bookmarked, without any folder structure or tags you might have applied.

Firefox History contains the last 200 URLs you visited (disabled by default).

Tip: you can change the number of History items Quicksilver adds by changing the FirefoxSearchHistoryLimit from Terminal: defaults write com.blacktree.Quicksilver FirefoxSearchHistoryLimit 500 (sets the limit to 500).

Proxy Objects¶

Current Web Page (Firefox)

The Current Web Page (Firefox) proxy object contains the title and URL of the webpage currently open in Firefox.

Tip: Firefox updates the 'current webpage' information about every 15 seconds. If you encounter delays between getting the latest webpage information, you can shorten the delayby changing a hidden preference in Firefox:

1. Type about:config in Firefox's address bar.
2. Type sessionstore.interval in the filter-field.
3. The browser.sessionstore.interval value is in milliseconds. Change it to something smaller, like 10000 or 5000
