Optimise Firefox for Netbooks
I have just found a brilliant add-on for Firefox called Meerkat. It basically customises the Firefox layout to fit onto a netbook screen better, and gives you more webpage space to view. It does the following:
- Hides the status bar when there is no activity
- Removes the menu bar, rebuilt into a drop down button placed on the navigation bar
- Adds downloads and bookmarks buttons to the right of the location bar, followed by above mentioned menu bar button
- Reduces the navigation bar icon size to the small setting
You can download it from here!
Reclaim your webpage space!

Yeh, i understand that to be the case with OS X and firefox. However, you may want to try Firefox 3.6 beta 4. Firefox 3.6 will have better support for 10.6
